Challenging Conventional Healthcare w/ Dr. Charles Glassman, CoachMD [Ep. 53]

In this episode of the Healthy & Awake Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Charles Glassman, known as Coach MD, who has over 30 years of experience in internal medicine and is a pioneer of the concierge medical model. We dive deep into the mind-body connection, discussing how mindfulness and mindset can transform health outcomes by helping us overcome automatic brain responses. Dr. Glassman shares insights from his books Brain Drain and Fake News Stories by Your Brain, exploring how our minds shape our realities. We also cover holistic approaches to wellness, the role of lifestyle choices, and how integrating unconventional therapies with traditional medicine can offer lasting solutions. Join us as we question the conventional and explore how true health stems from within.
