About this site

And is the New Or is an independent publication launched in October 2024 by Marcus Gitterle, MD, focused on simple, evidence-based solutions to our current healthcare predicament.

Medicine has been captured by industry, and it is time we take it back. Here, we focus on actions we can take as individuals and systems, to refocus healthcare to serve its most important stakeholders; those of us seeking to become and remain healthy.
