I'm sorry, but LLMs aren't a magic spell that can solve the world's problems. If you are not a stranger to the biomedical world, then you understand that new treatments take at least a decade before they are treating patients with them out of trial. And the experts, they need experience actually administering these treatments in order to form the kind of opinions you describe them differing on. Plus there is a systemic logic to the way these things are developed. Profit. For example, no new anti-anxiety drugs have been created in 20 years, because it is cheaper to just test SSRIs that have passed FDA trials for other things like depression.

LLMs might be useful at generating text, but they cannot research, fund, develop, manufacture, educate, distribute, treat.

Like others have said, focus on speaking with your partner and deciding your plans together.
