Why “perfect labs” don’t always mean a healthy patient. 🩺

Have you ever felt “exhausted” despite your doctor saying everything looks normal? You aren’t alone.

Tonight at 7 PM, I’m joining the KevinMD podcast to share a story about a patient named Linda. She was on five medications and saw seven doctors, but she didn’t start healing until we looked at the mind alongside the body.

At Prime Vitality Wellness, we are combining ancient holistic wisdom with 2026 AI technology to find the root cause of chronic illness before it even starts.

I spent 2 hours on hold last week fighting for a patient’s medication.

Two hours of hold music. Transferred calls. Faxed forms. All while patients sat waiting.
She’d been stable on this medication for years. But someone in an office somewhere decided she needed “prior authorization.” Again.
This is modern medicine. And it’s breaking us.

Then I read about Claude for Healthcare—an AI that promises to do in 2 minutes what took me 2 hours.

My first reaction? Relief.

My second? A question we all need to be asking:
What happens when AI gets better at navigating the healthcare system than the doctors who actually care for patients?

I wrote about this for KevinMD—the promise, the risks, and what I think physicians (and patients) need to understand right now.

Here’s the thing: I’m not worried AI will replace doctors.

I’m worried it’ll be used to justify replacing the CONDITIONS that make good medicine possible.

More patients per hour. Less time for connection. Algorithms making decisions that should involve human judgment.

But I’m also cautiously hopeful. If AI can lift even part of the administrative burden that’s driving doctors out of medicine… that matters.

The outcome depends on whether physicians engage NOW—or wake up later to a healthcare system we no longer recognize.

I’m choosing to engage. Cautiously. Critically. But with eyes open.

Would love to hear your thoughts—especially from my fellow healthcare colleagues and patients who’ve been caught in the prior authorization nightmare. 💬

Claude for Healthcare promises to reduce administrative tasks like prior authorizations. A physician explores if this AI tool is a savior or a trap.

Too Many Vitamins? Why “Healthy” Can Turn Risky.

Gummy vitamins are everywhere these days. They look—and taste—just like candy. But behind those bright colors and sweet flavors is a growing problem: vitamin overdose.
Most people don’t think twice about grabbing an extra vitamin or two, especially when feeling run-down. But the reality is, more isn’t always better. Every year, more than 60,000 cases of vitamin toxicity are reported to poison control in the U.S.—and hospital visits are on the rise.

Gummies are a big part of the problem. They’re easy for kids to mistake for a treat and tempting for adults to overdo. Water-soluble vitamins like C and B are usually flushed from the body, but fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) can build up and cause real harm. Nausea, nerve damage, and even liver problems can happen when supplements are taken carelessly.

If you supplement, keep these tips in mind:
• Always store vitamins—especially gummies—out of reach of children.
• Don’t go beyond the label dose, no matter how “natural” it seems.
• A balanced diet should be the first source for nutrients.
• Talk with a healthcare provider before starting anything new.
Supplements can help, but they do come with risks. Wellness is about balance, not excess. Let’s keep health simple—and safe—for everyone.
