The Dr. Chalmers Show

Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Dr. Casey Means
Is the U.S. medical system truly prioritizing health or just managing disease? This episode dives into the controversial nomination of Dr. Casey Means for Surgeon General and what it reveals about the state of modern medicine. With chronic illness on the rise and pharmaceutical influence stronger than ever, the conversation challenges long-standing norms in how we approach public health.
From concerns over medical education and policy-making to the importance of real-world experience in shaping national health strategies, this discussion doesn’t hold back. It also highlights the growing push for holistic, lifestyle-based care and whether leaders who support that model can break through the system.
