What happens when you live with chest pain for a decade—and no one can give you an answer?
In this powerful episode of Healing Beyond Your Diagnosis, Dr. Jason West sits down with Phil, a computer programmer and self-described skeptic, to unpack a 10-year journey of misdiagnoses, pain, frustration—and finally, healing.
From being told “it’s in your head” to being dismissed with prescriptions that made things worse, Phil shares what it’s like to live in a medical mystery. He opens up about the fear, the search for answers, and what finally changed everything when he walked into the West Clinic. The turning point? A conversation that began with, “I’m sorry you’re in pain.”
You’ll hear about what it’s like to feel seen, heard, and treated differently—how Phil’s migraines, seasonal mood issues, and chest symptoms transformed not with quick fixes, but with root-cause medicine, compassion, and data-driven care.
This episode isn’t just about Phil’s story. It’s about possibility. It’s about hope. And it’s about remembering that you are not your diagnosis.
If you or someone you love is stuck in the system, don’t miss this one.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
