Good Medicine - Dr. Tom Frieden on The Formula for Better Health

Good Medicine - Episode 4

What does it take to protect health at the scale of an entire city—or the world? Dr. Tom Frieden, former Director of the CDC and NYC Health Commissioner, operates at this massive scale. In this episode, he joins Dr. Rohan Ramakrishna to dismantle the "invisible" threats shaping modern medicine, from the "pus bucket" TB wards of 1990s New York to the high-pressure White House Situation Room during the Ebola crisis.

Discussing his new book, The Formula for Better Health, Dr. Frieden breaks down his "See, Believe, Create" framework and the critical difference between regulation and the "nanny state." They dive deep into why hypertension remains the world’s deadliest—and most neglected—pathology, the failures of COVID-19 communication, and the "Big Six" lifestyle behaviors that actually determine longevity. Whether you are a clinician or a policymaker, this conversation offers a masterclass in how organized, rigorous action can save millions of lives.
