Episode #177: Big Event Update and Meniscus Tears

Is Your Health Actually the Priority? Uncovering the Truth About Medicine, Surgery, and Longevity
Is the medical system truly designed to keep you healthy, or is it more focused on keeping you dependent? In this week’s powerful episode of The Berman Method Podcast, Dr. Jake Berman and Jenni Berman, PA-C pull back the curtain on how modern medicine often prioritizes pharmaceuticals, surgeries, and symptom management over true healing. If you’ve ever questioned why so many people are prescribed medications for life or told surgery is their only option, this episode is a must-listen.
The Hidden Truth About Conventional Medicine
In today’s healthcare landscape, many people trust that doctors always have their best interests at heart. While there are plenty of well-intentioned physicians out there, the reality is that the medical industry operates as a business—one that thrives on repeat customers, long-term medication use, and quick fixes rather than long-term wellness solutions.
Dr. Jake and Jenni break down how the pharmaceutical industry influences medical decisions, from the overprescription of drugs to the dismissal of natural, holistic, and movement-based treatments. They challenge listeners to look beyond the traditional medical advice and start asking better questions about their health.
•Why do so many doctors default to medications instead of addressing the root cause of health issues?
• Is surgery always necessary, or are there alternative treatments that are just as effective—if not more so?
•How does the American healthcare system compare to Canada’s, and what can we learn from both models?
By understanding the business side of medicine, patients can take back control and seek treatments that focus on true healing rather than temporary relief.
Do You Really Need Surgery for a Meniscus Tear?
One of the biggest medical myths is that a torn meniscus automatically requires surgery. Many patients are told that without an operation, their knee function will never be the same. But is that actually true?
In this episode, Dr. Jake explains how many knee injuries, including meniscus tears, ligament issues, and chronic pain, are often symptoms of a deeper problem—like muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, or instability in surrounding joints. Instead of rushing to surgery, physical therapy can be the key to long-term recovery.
💡 Key Takeaways About Knee Health & Surgery:
• Most meniscus tears do NOT require surgery and can be successfully managed with targeted strengthening and mobility work.
•Surgery does NOT fix movement dysfunctions—without correcting the root cause, you could end up reinjuring yourself even after an operation.
•Physical therapy can help restore knee function naturally by improving stability, strength, and flexibility in the right muscle groups.
Before jumping into the operating room, it’s essential to explore non-invasive treatment options that address the true cause of pain and dysfunction.
