Is your healthcare provider more credible than your favorite fitness influencer?

In this episode, Dave Kittle, Tony Maritato, and Jimmy McKay dive into the growing tension between real medical credentials and viral social media fitness influencers.

The crew also explores how habit-building strategies like “streak psychology” and community tactics (think therapy dogs & Panera subscriptions) can improve patient compliance and what healthcare can learn from consumer brands like Amazon and Peloton.
