What is the role of the MD in the new
medical paradigm?
That was a question we got from Twitter, and here is the answer of Dr. Kelly Brogan.
Well I think we have an opportunity to lead the charge powerfully, right?
Because I don't say anything that Peter hasn't been saying for a very long time,
and naturopaths and holistic practitioners haven't been saying for centuries.
I don't really have many new ideas, but the fact that I've come from the conventional fold,
that I've seen it from the other side
apparently is a powerful message.
So I think having that under your belt and
opening your eyes to a different paradigm, you know
fortunately or unfortunately puts you in a very strong position to lead the charge to change
and accelerate the evolution of medicine, James.
Yeah, thank you. One of the
things that you said the very first
Functional Forum that I wanted to ask you
about now is just how you feel about your job.
Like what you do every day and
how you how you feel about that?
I mean is that change in the last year and
a half, you seem pretty excited about
going to work every day. Which I know
that you know the great work of
Dr. Pamela Weibull looking at physician
suicides. I mean, that is a really tough
and ugly thing to look at, but we
need to look at it.
I mean it's a serious problem. I don't see a lot of doctors enjoying their job, right?
So when I mentioned that sort of 
radiantly healthy, you know sort of model,
the purpose piece i think is an
indispensable part of of health,
of what I prize as my current health and the purpose that I have found in my path.
Not only in cultivating my own health, but in sharing what I've learned with patients
is unparalleled. I mean I I wake up, I
think about it all day, I sleep,
I dream about it in my sleep, you know. It's a total passion project.
So it's  absolutely almost not an option for the conventional physician to engage their work in that way,
because I can't personalize it.
