What if the most important “treatment” decision you make this year is simply learning how to advocate for yourself?

In this episode, Mark Young sits down with Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj for a direct conversation about patient empowerment: how to ask better questions, spot gaps in communication, and stop outsourcing your health to a system that often rewards speed over clarity. This isn’t about distrust — it’s about ownership.

You’ll hear practical ways to become a stronger partner in your own care, including how to prepare for appointments, how to get real clarity on options, and how to make decisions that align with your goals and values.

This episode is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your health plan.

In this episode: • Why “standard of care” can still miss the individual • The questions that change the entire appointment • How to avoid passive decision-making • Shared decision-making, second opinions, and informed consent • Building a health strategy you actually understand
