In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, our guest Dr. Jack Kruse joins our host Dr. Ted Achacoso to give one-cent solutions to life’s $64,000 questions that include: How has the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the shift towards decentralized medicine and what role does patient informed consent and medical freedom play in this shift? What is the impact of centralized medicine on naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, and Eastern medicine practitioners, and how can this be addressed by decentralized medicine?
