About this listen
What if the most damaging phrase in modern healthcare isn’t “it’s all in your head,” but “your labs are normal”?
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Efrat Lamandre (Dr. E), a nurse practitioner, integrative medicine expert, and self-described “medical disruptor”, to talk about the space most of us live in but the system doesn’t know how to treat: not sick enough to code, but too unwell to ignore.
Dr. E breaks down why medicine becomes so binary, either conventional or “alternative”, and why she’s built her work around the medical middle ground: evidence-based care that doesn’t stop at protocols, and holistic approaches that don’t require abandoning science. Together, they unpack how the healthcare system incentivizes diagnosis over prevention, why nurse practitioners are essential to closing America’s primary care gap, and how policies that limit nursing education don’t just hurt providers, they deepen health deserts for everyone.
