The biggest problem in modern medicine isn’t what doctors get wrong—it’s what they never ask. Today, Dr. Mark Young sits down with Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, a cardiologist turned functional medicine practitioner, to challenge the way we think about heart health and longevity. Drawing from both conventional and integrative medicine, Dr. Bhojraj shares why cardiovascular disease isn’t just about cholesterol, but also lifestyle, stress, environment, and the daily decisions patients make outside the doctor’s office. The conversation centers around a powerful idea: the most important person in any treatment plan is the patient. Dr. Bhojraj explains that real health outcomes are shaped not during brief doctor visits, but in the thousands of hours in between. From diet and sleep to stress and environmental toxins, true healing requires ownership, consistency, and a shift from symptom management to root-cause thinking. They explore how emerging tools like AI and wearables are changing patient advocacy by allowing individuals to ask better questions. And Dr. Bhojraj highlights the importance of combining technology with human insight, experience, and relationship-based care.
