In this video, Gooby, a former neurosurgeon, explains why he left his 20-year medical career. Trained at MIT and experienced in brain and spine surgery, he found that his work often didn’t address the root causes of patients’ health problems, which were frequently related to lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and stress. Despite successfully performing complex surgeries, he realized that true healing involved holistic health practices rather than just medical interventions. Disillusioned with the healthcare system’s focus on profitable treatments over prevention, and facing severe personal stress and moral injury, Gooby ultimately decided to quit his job. With the support of his wife, he chose to prioritize his well-being over continuing a career he no longer believed in.
