Description

Story at-a-glance

  • The U.S. channels 90% of its $4.5 trillion annual healthcare costs toward chronic diseases, yet most of it funds profitable drugs and procedures that do not address the root cause of illness
  • Prescription drugs trap patients in an endless cycle of dependence. Once patients start medications for chronic conditions, they rarely stop, even when their health continues to decline
  • Chronic disease patients face severe financial strain; 32% have medical debt in collections and their bankruptcy rate is four times higher than that of healthy individuals
  • Beyond the physical toll, chronic disease impacts your mental health, strains your relationships and makes you feel isolated. Caregivers also experience stress, exhaustion and lost income
  • Medicine must shift from disease management to true healing. Instead of masking symptoms, the focus must be on restoring cellular function and supporting metabolic health to break free from the cycle of chronic illness
