Description

Why are primary care doctors held accountable for chronic diseases caused by billion-dollar industries? In this episode, I discuss how powerful corporations—from soda to fossil fuels—engineer addiction, shape policy, and shift blame for the diseases they help create.

🔍 In this video, you’ll learn:

- What Commercial Determinants of Health (CDoH) really are

- How corporate actors manipulate marketing, pricing, and public policy

- Why bottled water ads make sugary drinks more attractive

- The hidden agenda behind “recycling” campaigns

- How value-based care deflects blame from upstream harm to frontline doctors

- How trade agreements, research funding, and lobbying protect harmful industries

- The “Commercial Parasite” model—and how it keeps people just sick enough to stay profitable

👨‍⚕️ Doctors are penalized for outcomes shaped by upstream corporate behavior. This video argues that unless we address commercial determinants, efforts like value-based care will fail to improve population health.
