In this episode of The Nutrition Science Podcast, Dr. Adrian Chavez sits down with endocrinologist and direct care physician Dr. Arti Thangudu to to a deep dive into what’s really wrong with the U.S. healthcare system and what patients can do about it. 

Dr. Thangudu shares her journey from working in the traditional healthcare system in a high-volume insurance-based clinic to founding her own direct care endocrinology practice that provides patient centered care where she is able to spend time with her patients, build trust and provide better outcomes at a lower cost.
