Welcome to a special episode of The Uprising Show! Today, we take you on a journey into the heart of Swedish healthcare with Dr. Sara Loden, a physician and the founder of Proact Life. In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Loden shares her passion for moving healthcare "upstream" focusing on prevention and health literacy long before diagnosis or crisis strike.
From growing up in a small Swedish town to navigating the complexities of public health systems, Sara candidly discusses the strengths and challenges of Swedish medicine, how burnout has impacted clinicians worldwide, and why current approaches often focus on "sick care" rather than true healthcare. She makes a compelling case for empowering patients through education, explaining how simple knowledge can be medicine in itself and help people make better choices.
We dive into the differences between Swedish and American healthcare, the unique struggles facing both systems, and the innovative work being done at Proact Life to create healthier, more knowledgeable communities. Dr. Loden also shares her vision for a more human-centered healthcare future, reveals her dream of opening a rural clinic, and offers insights for people everywhere on how to take charge of their health.
If you're curious about global perspectives on healthcare, passionate about prevention, or simply interested in how small changes can make a big difference, this episode is for you.
