In our latest episode, we sit down with Dr. Leslie Korn to discuss the urgent need for a more humane and equitable approach to wellness. With years of experience navigating healthcare in both the U.S. and Mexico, Dr. Korn brings a powerful perspective on why our current model is failing and—more importantly—how we can fix it.

Highlights from Dr. Korn:

• A Call for Compassion: Why we must shift toward "humane" models of care that prioritize the patient over the process.
• The Social Connection: Addressing the "social determinants" of health—like food security and poverty—to truly tackle the mental health crisis.
• Accessible Nutrition: A look at simple, effective interventions (like Vitamin D and Omega-3s) that should be available to everyone as a public health right.
• Collaborative Care: Why integrating bodywork and traditional holistic practices into clinics is the key to managing chronic pain and mental wellness.

"I have no more patience for it personally," Dr. Korn shares regarding the current system's inequities. It is time to bridge the gap between social justice and holistic health.

Is the healthcare system really designed to keep us healthy?

In this episode of the Holistic Inner Balance Podcast, we examine the dysfunction within the modern healthcare system and explore a different path forward: focusing on root cause healing instead of symptom management.

You’ll learn about: • The concept of green allopathy and why it may still miss the root cause • Why Americans spend over $15,000 per person on healthcare • How lifestyle, food, and environment influence long-term wellness • Simple ways to move closer to nature and support the body’s healing capacity

Instead of relying on quick fixes or expensive biohacking trends, this conversation highlights the power of small daily habits, health literacy, and strong community.

If you’re looking for a more natural and empowered approach to wellness, this episode is for you.

Why can’t I just go to Target and get any random face wash?

Or why shouldn’t I just go to Sephora and buy the first foundation I see that is recommended by Kylie Jenner?
