Which Type of Patient Are You?
In this week’s episode, Dr. Jordan Robertson explores the three types of patients: Health Hobbyists, the General Population, and those Backed Into a Corner, and what each group can teach us about how we approach our health. Whether you find yourself just “getting by,” experimenting endlessly, or facing a health wake-up call, there are lessons (and warnings) in every category. Jordan unpacks the pros and cons of each approach and how borrowing from other camps can help you thrive instead of settling for mediocrity.
