In this episode of the Healthspan Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE sits down with concierge primary care physician Dr. Linda Eller, DO for a powerful conversation on how to restore and preserve health by shifting away from traditional, reactive medicine. Together, they explore what’s possible when doctors have time to truly understand their patients’ stories, how concierge care differs from corporate healthcare, and why proactive, personalized treatment plans can significantly impact long-term health and longevity. They also dive into hyperbaric oxygen and photobiomodulation therapy, what they are and their benefits.  

Dr. Linda Eller is a board-certified primary care physician at Benessair Wellness in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Trained in both conventional and functional medicine, Dr. Eller blends integrative approaches with high-touch care to help patients live better and longer. Her work combines modern diagnostics with ancient wellness practices, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, red light therapy, and lifestyle-based prevention strategies, all delivered in a state-of-the-art medical environment.
