The FDA Group's CEO, Nick Capman speaks with Cheryl Blasie, Ph.D., a healthcare consultant and advocate whose roles have spanned from entry-level Ph.D. Research Scientist to Vice President and Head of Quality at biotech and biopharma companies, including Program Management, Business Operations, and Patient Advocacy.
They discuss:
» Cheryl's personal journey from being a biotech industry veteran to becoming a healthcare advocate, driven by her own health challenges.
» The need for courageous leadership in the healthcare sector to challenge the status quo and explore alternative treatment options beyond traditional allopathic medicine.
» The issues affecting the current healthcare system—particularly its one-size-fits-all approach and the lack of individualized solutions.
» Advocacy for a healthcare system that considers each person as a holistic organism and provides a range of treatment options, including vitamins, supplements, herbals, essential oils, chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture.
» The role of local offices or advocates in educating patients about these alternative therapies and connecting them with vetted practitioners whose personalities and treatment approaches align with patients' needs.
» The challenges in integrating these alternative therapies into the current healthcare system, particularly in terms of regulation and insurance coverage.
» The belief that with courageous leadership, it's possible to create a healthcare system that embraces all treatment options and assists patients in finding the best alternatives for them on an individual level.
