Is primary care facing a crisis? In the midst of a national shortage of primary care physicians, the role of physician assistants is increasingly pivotal within team-based care models. The Lanby is dedicated to a wellness-forward, hospitality-led primary care membership for patients who simply want more.
The Lanby’s wellness advisor Taylor Fazio and physician assistant Ali Rakow join founder Chloe Harrouche to discuss the advantages of such an approach. They delve into the significance of integrative medicine and how they enhance patient outcomes through meticulous lab analyses, lifestyle modifications, and collaborative efforts.
This episode provides a concrete example of their joint process, illustrating how patients gain from a more tailored and holistic healthcare experience. They also highlight how individuals, particularly those in high-pressure environments like New York City, often underestimate the impact of their hectic lifestyles on their health.

He joins podcast host Chloe Harrouche to clarify how integrative medicine unlocks the potential for women’s health, highlighting the importance of thinking outside the box and finding individualized solutions.

In this solo episode, Chloe shares her personal experience navigating breast cancer and infertility, and how it led her to launch The Lanby. She discusses the lack of coordination of care and guidance throughout survivorship, and how that led her to pursue wellness optimization on her own.
Chloe highlights the unknown risks of consumerized wellness and how the lessons she learned have shaped The Lanby’s care model. She highlights the importance of introducing wellness into the scope of primary care to support prevention and monitoring those wellness interventions to ensure efficacy and progress.
The Lanby’s approach to primary care is a stark contrast to the unpleasant and unsatisfying experience we’ve come to expect when visiting the doctor. By leveraging tenets of hospitality and providing needed support across medicine and wellness, The Lanby is redefining what it means to get well, better.
