Is your doctor actually the one making your medical decisions? Behind the scenes of your local clinic, a "private equity invasion" is quietly changing the way you receive care—and it’s putting profits ahead of your health.

In this episode of Pathway to Peak Performance, oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Cameron Walsh pulls back the curtain on the corporate takeover of medicine and dentistry. We dive into why the traditional "family doctor" model is disappearing and what it means for the quality of your next surgery, your prescriptions, and your long-term longevity.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
1. The Private Equity Trap: Why your doctor might be answering to a corporate manager instead of their medical oath.
2. The "Celiac" Myth: Why your stomach issues might not be a gluten allergy, but a reaction to a hidden chemical in corporate farming.
3. The Reactionary Physical: Why your annual check-up isn’t actually "preventative" and how the system makes more money when you stay sick.
4. The Truth About Wisdom Teeth: A simple question you must ask your surgeon to avoid permanent bone damage and narcotics.
5. Local vs. Corporate: How to identify a doctor-owned practice that still prioritizes patient care over shareholder returns.

Dr. Walsh also shares his "math-first" approach to health, from sourcing heirloom wheat to avoiding the "over-carbed" trap of the modern American diet.
