FIRE YOUR DOCTOR
Reclaiming the Heart of Healing in a Broken System

Since the time of Hippocrates, being a doctor was more than a job—it was a sacred calling rooted in love and self-sacrifice. Today, that legacy is under siege.

Insurance companies now dictate treatment plans. Hospitals push profit over prevention. Medical schools take funding from pharmaceutical companies, while major news outlets remain financially tied to Big Pharma. The result? A system that often fails the very people it was meant to serve. During the COVID pandemic, the tension and toxicity within the medical system reached new heights, even dividing families and separating lifelong friends.

This book isn’t a tombstone marking the death of healthcare—it’s a battle cry for its resurrection.

Fire Your Doctor pulls back the curtain on the corruption plaguing modern medicine and offers a clear, practical path to true healing. It goes beyond symptom management to ask the deeper question: Why are we getting sick in the first place?

Inside, you’ll discover:

• How to Become Naturally Healthier by focusing on fundamentals—not just prescriptions.
• The Gut-Health Connection that links digestion to conditions most doctors overlook.
• An Immune System Paradigm Shift that moves beyond fear and builds real resilience.
• Inspiring Case Studies that offer hope, insight, and real-world results.
