Insurance Is Quietly Destroying Real Medicine

What happens when a rheumatologist and a naturopathic doctor sit down to talk about women’s health, hormones, autoimmunity, and the broken insurance model?

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Isabelle Amigues, rheumatologist and founder of direct specialty care in Colorado, sits down with Dr. Erin Ellis, naturopathic doctor specializing in women’s health, to discuss:

• What “root cause” really means
• Why so many women feel dismissed in medicine
• Perimenopause and hormone imbalances
• Why “normal labs” don’t always mean optimal health
• The problem with 10-minute visits
• Insurance denials and the emotional toll on patients
• Integrative medicine vs conventional medicine
• Direct care and relationship-based healing
• Reactive arthritis treatment insights

This conversation is honest, nuanced, and deeply patient-centered. It’s not about choosing sides — it’s about integration, education, and empowering women to advocate for their health.

If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” but you don’t feel normal — this is for you.
