In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy, Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center, opens up about why so many patients lose trust in traditional, insurance-based medical care—and why they often turn exclusively to alternative medicine.

Dr. McCarthy shares personal experiences and patient stories that reveal the deeper issues in today’s healthcare system: short appointment times, lack of empathy, profit-driven models, and the powerful role of storytelling in alternative health.

This conversation is about more than medicine—it’s about empathy, validation, and radical transparency in how we care for one another.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why patients often reject pharmaceuticals (even when safe & effective)

  • The role of empathy and time in building trust

  • How alternative medicine wins hearts through stories

  • Why managed care models fail both patients and providers

  • How we can rebuild trust in healthcare through radical transparency

Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona. With over two decades of experience, he’s helped thousands of patients navigate hormonal imbalances using bioidentical HRT, nutrition, and root-cause medicine. He’s also taught and mentored other physicians on integrative approaches to hormone therapy, weight loss, fertility, and more. If you’re ready to take your health seriously, this podcast is a great place to start.
