Something must be done to change the trajectory of human health because the trends are catastrophic. But my mission is to transform lives and empower people to a life of good health, so despite sometimes feeling like this war is too big to win, I also know there are so many health heroes out there fighting in the same fight I am. That includes Dr Coburn Allen and the healthcare company Medici. This episode is an inside look into what the future of healthcare companies needs to look like if we are to reverse our sick-care system into an actual healthcare system.

Dr Coburn Allen is the Chief Medical Officer of Medici, a healthcare provider using the power of technology to offer people a better way. Motivated by the fact the United States spends twice as much on healthcare as its democratic peers yet has far worse health outcomes, Dr Allen’s mission is to create a healthcare system that is designed for the individual and aligned with real health. Medici allows patients easy access to a team of concierges, coaches, dieticians, nurses, doctors and specialists with just a single text message all at a simple, transparent and surprisingly low cost.

Join us as we explore:

What it is going to take to stop and reverse the sick-care system and stats that 60% of American adults have one chronic disease due only to lifestyle, 40% have two and most importantly on average all of them believe there is nothing they can do about it!

Why  everyone needs not only a primary care physician in their life but a primary care team encompassing health care professionals like a health coach. 

The power of measuring compassion in healthcare and using reality to motivate people to make sticky habits and change the trajectory of their lives.

The power of awareness and helping a pre-diabetic patient delay onset diabetes by 11 years with on average just one lifestyle change.

How the sickest 5% of people contribute to more than 50% of overall healthcare costs, and how preventative or medicine 3.0 is the only way forward we have to change that.

Using the power of AI to make a 20x better decision on whether to do further testing for patients, saving both lives and massive costs for patients.

The disastrous state of health of children, why college has become the nexus point of disease and what we need to do to change our kids’ future.
