  • How Tech Can Fix The American Healthcare System With Sheila Phicil

    How Tech Can Fix The American Healthcare System With Sheila Phicil
    Jan 29 2025

    The social and economic inequity in the United States is clearly evident just by looking at the current state of the American healthcare system. It is broken in so many areas and highly ineffective in addressing the actual needs of the people, leaving many citizens to live in constant suffering. Thankfully, today’s tech innovations could offer some solutions to this massive problem. Joining Corinna Bellizzi is social change futurist Sheila Phicil, founder of Phicil-itate Change LLC, who is building a blockchain-powered platform that could fix the many issues of the healthcare system. She explains why the main problem lies in the blatant disregard for values, not in the lack of financial support. Sheila also offers some ways of making healthcare equally accessible to everyone, even to people of color, underserved communities, and minority groups who are always exploited when it comes to well-being.

  • How To Eat Better Through Ethnographic Diet With June Jo Lee

    How To Eat Better Through Ethnographic Diet With June Jo Lee
    Jan 22 2025

    Food has become so commercialized that many people feel guilty about eating some food. This is quite a miserable way to live, and June Jo Lee offers a solution: adopting the so-called ethnographic diet. In this conversation with Corinna Bellizzi, she explores her groundbreaking ethnographic research about the benefits of eating the food you love, not the food forced upon you by society. June discusses how to teach the younger generation to eat better and give more importance to eating healthily. She also explains how to cook more without following a rigid recipe but instead relying on the natural flavor at your fingertips.
