Sovereignty Over Sickness: Unveiling the Path to Empowered Health

Jenn Cornish



In the latest episode of the Sound Lifestyle Medicine Podcast, hosts Dr. Mark Stephany and Dr. Jim Kosowicz take a deep dive into the realms of lifestyle medicine and the personal journey towards health sovereignty. This special episode, now available for visual enjoyment on YouTube, marks a pivotal moment as the podcast goes live, bringing viewers into the intimate setting of Dr. Kosowicz's kitchen. The focal point of their discussion is Dr. Stephany's recently published book, Sovereign Health, a compelling read that challenges conventional healthcare narratives and urges individuals to take control of their health destinies.


Dr. Stephany shares the inspiration behind his book, a project that began before the onset of the global pandemic. His motivation stemmed from a deep-seated desire to bridge the gap between traditional medical care and the proactive pursuit of wellness. Through early morning writing sessions, he explored the disconnect between the healthcare system's focus on sickness management and the individual's role in fostering their own health. The conversation delves into the historical evolution of healthcare, highlighting how advancements in medicine have inadvertently shifted the focus away from preventive care.


The podcast discusses the societal trends that mirror the decline in personal health, such as the decrease in personal savings alongside the rise in obesity rates. This analogy serves to illustrate how instant gratification and the pursuit of short-term pleasures have overshadowed the importance of long-term health investments. Dr. Stephany and Dr. Kosowicz explore the notion that caring for one's health is not only a personal responsibility but also a profound act of love towards one's family and community, preventing them from the burden of care in the future.


Listeners will be encouraged to reflect on their health choices, drawing parallels between financial decisions and health investments. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the limitations of the healthcare system in promoting health and the power of lifestyle medicine as a transformative tool for achieving longevity and wellness.


This episode of the Sound Lifestyle Medicine Podcast is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of health sovereignty and the actionable steps towards achieving a vibrant, healthy life. Dr. Stephany's insights from Sovereign Health serve as a beacon for those navigating the complex interplay between individual choices and societal health outcomes.
