How do you become a truly smart patient in a system that rewards more tests, more drugs, and more procedures?
In this Grand Rounds, internationally known plant-based nutrition educator Dr. Pam Popper joins Dr. Baxter Montgomery to lay out 10 practical rules for staying out of the “medical mill,” understanding risk vs. benefit, and building real health with food, movement, sleep, purpose, and community.
✏️ You’ll learn how to:
1. Spot overtreatment and “pre-disease” traps
2. Understand informed consent (alternatives, risks, benefits, and the option to do nothing)
3. Interpret reference ranges without panic
4. Avoid “incidentalomas” and testing cascades
5. Evaluate claims (relative vs. absolute risk, NNT, conflicts of interest)
6. Use mindset and daily habits to protect long-term health
