Following the Data to Thoughtful Choices - Risky Benefits S4, Ep. #16
In a politically-charged climate, it may be difficult to make clear decisions about your personal or your family’s health and wellness. A knee-jerk opinion may lead to a whole world of unintended consequences – as though you’re rolling the dice and you don’t fully know the rules of the game. High-stake circumstances can turn differences of opinion into great divides and the level of risk to your family may become a dangerous game.
Listen as second-time Risky Benefits podcast guest, Dr. Jonathan Wiesen, CMO and MediOrbis founder, discusses how thinking through problems and following the data can lead to better health outcomes as you decide on levels of health or wellness risk. Dr. Wiesen covers topics surrounding the cost benefit of vaccination, medical weight loss drugs, Covid-19 impact, long-term health costs in employer-sponsored plans, and the network problem.
