In this episode of Pharmaphobic, Dan and Janie discuss one of Hippocrates’ most powerful truths: “Everyone wants to heal until the medicine shows up in the form of discipline.” What starts as a quote quickly turns into a deeper look at why so many people chase hacks, aesthetics, and shortcuts—while avoiding the real work.

They explore how extremes in fitness, food tracking, fasting, and even “clean eating” can spiral into dysfunction, and why sustainable health is about more than just motivation. Discipline isn’t about being rigid—it’s about being consistent, strategic, and in tune with your body. From honoring your hunger cues to knowing when to rest, Dan and Janie break down what it really means to show up for your health every day.

This episode is a call to stop outsourcing your wellness and start taking ownership—one decision, one habit, one meal at a time.
