Kim Witczak – Behind the Scenes of the Drug-Approval Process: Psyche Meds, Collateral Damage, and a Story of Tragedy and Hope
Manage episode 387200884 series 3479155
Kim Witczak is a leading global drug safety advocate and speaker with over 25 years of professional experience in advocacy, advertising, and marketing communications.
She is currently a very vocal Consumer Representative on the FDA Advisory Committee evaluating new drugs coming to market.
In this episode, we discussed:
- The heart-wrenching story of her husband's suicide
- The uncomfortable awakening when she realized what caused his death
- The sophisticated capture and corruption of the medical-industrial complex
- How her background in marketing helped her see Pharma's manipulative marketing funnels and sales tactics
- The uncomfortable feelings brought up by seeing the ugly thread of contempt for human suffering in the pharmaceutical industry
We also got philosophical and talked about why we might want to rethink our cultural aversion to suffering and, instead, lean into it as a path to healing.
We also got practical and discussed how to have discernment if you engage the medical system to prevent it from being weaponized against you.
While this episode has some heavy topics, I think you'll find it an insightful and uplifting conversation.
You can find Kim at the following places.
- Her website
- Substack Blog (Un)Acceptable Collateral Damage
