Welcome to "Mind Behind the Curtain" —a show about the stories of incredible physician entrepreneurs who’ve navigated the chaos, doubt, and growth that comes with creating something new.

Food Quality: The Missing Link in Chronic Disease Prevention
In this episode of Mind Behind the Curtain, Dr. Jennie Eckstrom sits down with neuroradiologist and lifestyle medicine physician Dr. Akshita Mehta to explore one of the most overlooked contributors to chronic disease and patient overwhelm: food quality.
As independent physicians, we see firsthand the downstream consequences of chronic microvascular disease, fatty liver, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation. Dr. Mehta brings a radiologist’s eye and a systems-level perspective to a conversation about prevention that goes deeper than diet trends, focusing instead on how food is grown, sourced, harvested, handled, and absorbed.
This conversation is an anchor for any physician practicing outside of the traditional system who wants their patients to have real access, not just to care, but to information that truly changes health trajectories.
