Dr. Lucy McBride, a primary care physician based in Washington DC, is also a patient with her own healthcare struggles. She knows the challenges of navigating a system that rushes through appointments focused on testing and prescriptions and the often false yet expensive promises of the burgeoning wellness industry. Her new book, Beyond the Prescription, is a practical road map to becoming a more empowered, informed patient and reclaiming agency over your health. In conversation with Lori Rotskoff, McBride cautions against becoming your own doctor or rejecting modern medicine and encourages transforming yourself from a passive patient into an empowered partner who can advocate for relationship-centered care. Beyond the Prescription is like having a trusted doctor by your side, helping you to ask better questions, advocate for what you need, and reframe what it means to be healthy. Whether for managing a chronic condition, coping with a new diagnosis, or trying to make sense of conflicting health advice, she offers practical strategies and solutions that can make a real difference. Time will be reserved for Q&A.
Participants are encouraged but not required to read the book before the online conversation.
