Stephen Garner, patient advocate

  1. Stephen Garner, patient advocate Moyez Jiwa 31:59

Stephen Garner is a patient researching their own disease, exploring
the frontiers of human knowledge, and developing new frameworks as an
ethical theorist. After reducing the severity and frequency of his own
autoimmune symptoms through targeted nutrition, biochemical modeling,
and self-experimentation, Stephen now shares his experience, and
findings, to help others better understand and manage chronic illness.
With a background in emergency services, information Technology, and
scientific theory-building, he brings a systems-oriented lens to the
intersection of Health, ethics, and personal agency. His current work
focuses on giving the body the tools it needs to maintain systems
coherence; combining insights from microbiome science, immune
regulation, and cognitive framing.

Moyez Jiwa is a general practitioner, journal editor and podcast host. Professor Jiwa leads a medical school based in Melbourne, Australia. He authored the book The Art of Doctoring. He believes that healthcare can improve by focusing on the quality of the meeting between health care professional and patient. This would forge a truly meaningful partnership between doctor and patient as co-pilot in care. It would also reduce rates of burnout among doctors and future proof healthcare in a world where the population is ageing and more likely to be living with more complex health care conditions.
