What if the healthcare system isn't broken, and that's actually part of the problem?

In this episode, Dr. Emily talks with Emma Tekstra, who spent twenty-five years inside Fortune 500 benefits programs before her son's diagnosis pushed her to look at the system differently.

You'll learn:

• How the system around chronic disease actually operates, and who it serves

• How the history of health insurance shaped who controls treatment decisions

• What "health sovereignty" means and why ownership matters

• Why day-to-day pressures are an overlooked root cause that keeps women stuck

• What employers can do to make functional medicine more accessible

This conversation offers a wider lens on why taking charge of your own health matters.
