418: Health is Wealth, Advantages of Functional Medicine and Reaching Our Peak Potential with Betsy Shor
12/19/23 • 40 min
Betsy Shor is the Founder of Health is Wealth Institute and a seasoned Functional Medicine pro who’s spent over a decade perfecting the art of family medicine.
Betsy is like a health detective, making connections between the mind and body and tailoring strategies that go beyond just treating symptoms with band-aid solutions.
Today, we dive into the cold, clinical world of modern medicine, where patients often feel like just another number. Betsy’s not a fan, and she shares why. Betsy also has advice on how we can push our loved ones to reach their peak potential without overstepping boundaries.
Plus, she's got some great tips on finding that rare gem of a doctor or PA who doesn’t just glance at the clock during your appointment – one who’s invested in your health journey as much as you are.
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through...
- The journey to take control of your health
- Betsy’s secret sauce for providing healthcare
- Choosing between specialist and generalist
- Finding Dr. Right
- A deep dive on Functional Medicine providers
- Inspiration from “Queer Eye From the Straight Guy”
- Finding a doctor who treats you as family
- Half cheer-leader, half drill-sergeant
- Aiming for the best you, with a caring sidekick
- Health: The ultimate investment

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.
Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.
Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you?
In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values)
If you’re reading this, you want to grow. Podcasts are great, but guys... when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
