Leading by Living It: How Dr. Charlie Ross Transformed His Life—and His Patients’ Lives
In this episode, discover the remarkable story of Dr. Charlie Ross, a triple board-certified physician whose 49-year medical career took a transformative turn from emergency medicine to lifestyle medicine. After decades of treating symptoms with prescriptions, a single documentary changed everything—sparking a personal experiment that would reverse his own health risks, reshape his practice, and inspire a movement in his community.
Through heartfelt reflection and decades of wisdom, Dr. Ross shares how “treating the root cause” became his life’s purpose. He opens up about the powerful moment he and his wife chose a whole food, plant-based lifestyle, the measurable impact it had on their health, and how that decision evolved into teaching free community classes now attended by hundreds.
From redefining the doctor–patient relationship to emphasizing education, motivation, and personal accountability, Dr. Ross challenges us to reimagine what true healing looks like. He explores how clinicians can shift from prescribing pills to guiding people toward sustainable behavior change—and how living in “a place called health” can be both a personal and professional revolution.
By the end of this episode, you’ll be inspired to view medicine through a new lens—one where compassion, evidence, and lifestyle converge to transform not only lives, but the very practice of healthcare itself.
