Hosted by husband-and-wife physicians Dr. Vikas Patel and Dr. Nisha Patel. They cut through the noise of the wellness industry to deliver evidence-based longevity strategies that actually fit into your life. Each episode breaks down the latest research, practical habits, and real-world solutions for busy people who want to live longer and healthier — without turning it into a full-time job. Small, daily deposits into your health bank account compound over time. That’s playing the long game.
Part One of the M.E.D. (minimum effective dose) Series. Dr. Vikas Patel and Dr. Nisha Patel take you up in the helicopter over the entire wellness industry — how it works, how it makes its money, and why doing everything ”right” can leave you feeling worse than the person who isn't thinking about any of it. There is a trillion-dollar industry to make people healthier, and one of its flagship products turned out to be anxiety.
Inside: why health stopped being the foundation for a good life and quietly became a joyless full-time job. The business model that runs on your worry — the influencer-commission math, and the fact that supplements get no pre-market FDA testing at all. Orthorexia and orthosomnia, two real conditions where the pursuit of health becomes the sickness. Why so many direct-to-consumer tests are a relationship with a bot, not a doctor. And how to spend on your health like an investor instead of a sucker.
The through-line: good health is practiced, not purchased. Health is the vehicle, not the destination — so eat the cake, take the trip, and be the couple still dancing on the table at eighty.
This is the diagnosis. Part Two is the cure: the minimum effective dose.
