Challenging Medical Norms with Dr. Tom Cowan

What if health and disease aren’t what we’ve been taught to believe? In this episode of Futures Edge: Finance Unfiltered, host Bobby Iaccino along with Kevin “Lex” Luthringshausen engage with Dr. Tom Cowan,  a former physician who challenges conventional medical beliefs. Dr. Cowan shares why he chose to step away from the traditional medical system and how his perspective on illness, viruses, and immunity has evolved. He introduces the idea that many common symptoms may actually be signs of the body healing itself—not signals of disease—and invites listeners to explore a deeper understanding of how environment, lifestyle, and nutrition impact well-being. From discussing the role of toxins in modern life to reevaluating our beliefs about immunity and vaccines, this episode encourages critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and personal agency in health decisions. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Dr. Cowan’s perspective offers a compelling lens on what it means to live well in today’s world.
