In this episode of the Believe Big Podcast, Ivelisse sits down with Dr. Jay Richards of the Heritage Foundation to explore the powerful intersection of faith, science, and culture in today’s healthcare landscape. Together, they unpack the major shift from truly holistic, patient-centered care to a system focused primarily on disease management—and what it will take to change that.

Dr. Richards sheds light on why metabolic flexibility is essential for long-term health and breaks down the regulatory and financial barriers that prevent many patients from accessing integrative and natural therapies, including mistletoe therapy. He and Ivelisse discuss why these barriers exist, how they affect patient choice, and what steps can be taken to move healthcare toward a more integrative model.

Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or advocate, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and actionable steps for advancing a healthcare future where conventional and complementary therapies work together to support whole-person healing.
