Functional Medicine Expert: The Silent Epidemic Making Women Sick with Dr. Joseph Radich

Most women are told “your labs look normal” while they’re exhausted, inflamed, anxious, and unable to lose weight. But normal isn’t the same as optimal. In this episode, Brent sits down with Dr. Joseph Radich, a leading functional and regenerative medicine expert and founder of R3 Health, to unpack why the current healthcare system fails women — and what to do about it. They break down early diagnostics, hormone testing, full-body MRI, stem cell therapy, the truth about peptides, and what it actually means to take control of your health. This episode is both a warning and a wake-up call — especially if you’ve ever felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or like your body is screaming and no one is listening. ⸻ ⏱️ Chapters & Timestamps 0:00 – Intro: Why We’re Done With Symptom-Based Care 4:10 – Dr. Joe’s Journey: Why He Left Traditional Medicine 9:25 – The Labs Doctors Aren’t Running (That Change Everything) 15:12 – Women’s Health: Fatigue, Hormones & Misdiagnosis 21:33 – Full-Body MRI, Telomeres, and Early Detection 26:00 – What Real Healing Looks Like (Mind, Body, Labs) 30:50 – Stem Cells, PRP & the Future of Regenerative Medicine 37:40 – How to Build a Health Plan Around You, Not Just Symptoms 44:55 – Functional Medicine vs Western Medicine (The Real Difference) 49:20 – How to Advocate for Yourself in the Broken System 53:42 – Brent’s Story: Watching His Father Be Dismissed 58:00 – Final Takeaways + Where to Start If You’re Ready to Heal ⸻ 🔗 Guest Info – Dr. Joseph Radich, PA‑C • Website: josephradich.com • Functional + regenerative clinic: R3 Health • R3 Health Network (professional education): r3healthnetwork.com • IG: Add link if available • Book: Autonomy (coming soon) ⸻ 💪 Work with Brent If you’re a woman ready to stop spinning your wheels with bootcamps, broken hormone panels, or “just eat less” advice… Strength training is the foundation of long-term health and confidence. 👉 Start Brent’s signature Barbell Training Program for women here: 🌐
