About this channel

Most patients leave their doctor's appointment with more questions than answers. That's what this channel is for. I'm Erik Richardson, D.O., a practicing osteopathic physician. Every week I publish plain-language guides to the health conditions, medications, and lab results that affect millions of Americans — so you actually understand what's happening in your body, why your doctor made the choices they did, and what you can do about it. Topics include blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, weight loss and GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Zepbound, chronic condition management, and the conversations most patients never get to have in a 10-minute appointment. This channel is for people who want to stop being passive about their health and start understanding it. New video every week. Subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss it.
