What separates businesses that struggle from those that scale with clarity and confidence? In this episode of Limitless MD, Dr. Vikram Raya continues the frameworks series by sharing practical mental models that help entrepreneurs and high-performing professionals make stronger decisions, move faster, and lead with greater intention.

We break down four core business-winning strategies: Speed, Risk, Price, and Ease, and explain how mastering even one of them can create a meaningful competitive advantage. Dr. Raya also introduces the PCR Ratio, or Praise to Criticism, a leadership framework used by top-performing teams, and explores JOMO, the Joy of Missing Out, as a way to protect focus, energy, and long-term success.

This episode focuses on simplifying complexity, reducing friction, and using frameworks as clear, repeatable tools to create clarity in both business and life.

“Frameworks are shortcuts for clarity. They help you move from point A to point B faster, with less friction.” ~ Dr. Vikram Raya

Test Podcast Only | Testing Purposes

This is a test episode only. We're currently working on some fixes.

GLP-1s are in every medical conversation right now. In this episode, I slow the conversation down and ask a harder question: what are we actually trading for rapid weight loss? I sat down with Zeke Samples to examine why so many patients are drawn to appetite suppression and quick fixes.

We explored what doesn’t always make it into the exam room conversation and the downstream effects of relying on pharmacology without building sustainable habits. We also discussed the clinical tension many physicians feel, wanting to help patients see results while knowing that muscle preservation, metabolic flexibility, and resilience matter far more than the number on the scale.

We talked about reducing friction through stress regulation and simple nutritional guidelines that patients can maintain. Zeke shared a framework that prioritizes consistency over intensity and behavior change over suppression. If you’re a physician looking to improve outcomes without sacrificing long-term health, this one is for you!

“Metabolism 101: You're either a fat burner, or you're a sugar burner.” ~ Zeke Samples

In This Episode:

- Side effects of GLP-1 medications

- Alternatives to GLP-1s for sustainable weight loss

- Zeke’s training and nutrition habits

- Common mistakes people make when losing weight

- Health and wellness book recommendations

In this special episode of Limitless MD, I’m sharing highlights from some of the most impactful moments in 2025. We start with Dr. Ryan Mallory, who shares how the traditional W2 physician model is limiting, compared to the freedom enjoyed by locum physicians. He left the constraints of being a salaried cardiologist and embraced locum work, which gives him control over his time, allowing him to work fewer days and spend more time with his family.

Dr. Kristine Goins describes her journey of overcoming self-limiting beliefs and finding ways to blend career and freedom. As the founder of Nomad MD, she empowers physicians to explore work-from-anywhere opportunities while still excelling in their field. Greg Dickerson gives his perspective on leadership, effective delegation, and scaling businesses, particularly for medical professionals looking to grow their practices or side hustles.

Finally, Dr. Mike Van Thielen talks about his groundbreaking work on biohacking, focusing on how physicians and high performers can unlock "zone" productivity and regain control of their time through structured rituals.

If you’re ready to take control of your time and income, as well as learn how to thrive in both your professional and personal life in 2026, this episode is for you!

In This Episode:

- Exploring locum tenens with Ryan Mallory

- How much can you earn as a locum?

-The Nomad MD: living and working anywhere

- Greg Dickerson on mastering people and leadership skills

- How to supercharge your productivity with Dr. Mike

- Practical tips for optimizing your day

Are you thriving as a physician, or just getting by? In today’s episode, I sit down with Erika Czerwinski, a clinical psychologist and founder of Eleos, who’s dedicated to helping high-achieving doctors break free from the cycle of burnout and rediscover their sense of self. We explore how many physicians unknowingly disconnect from their emotions and go through the motions rather than truly living. 

Erika shares her fascinating approach to healing, which blends cutting-edge psychedelic therapies with a deep, introspective look into the physician’s inner world. She explains how doctors, who are experts at compartmentalizing their pain to serve others, often fail to notice the silent toll it takes on their relationships, health, and happiness.  

If you’re a doctor who feels like something’s missing, but you can’t put your finger on it, this one is for you. Don’t let the weight of “performing” take you away from living life. Tune in now to learn how you can reclaim your energy, passion, and purpose. 

 “The health and energy you possess is your highest currency.” ~ Erika Czerwinski

In This Episode:

- Erika's transition from working with young adults to physicians

- Warning signs of burnout and emotional disconnection

- The difference between endurance and resilience in physicians

- Diagnostic tools for measuring physician burnout and well-being

- Creating a safe space for physicians to rediscover their happiness

- Ketamine-assisted therapy: background and how it works

- Benefits of community and vulnerability at Eleos physician retreats

- Advice for high-achievers who are at a plateau

What’s the difference between a $10m, $100m, and $1b lifestyle? Sam Parr, founder of Hampton, asked this question in his community to determine how people live and feel at various liquid asset milestones. In this episode, I examine the participants' responses and their implications for doctors seeking to build wealth.

We examine how wealth levels impact lifestyle choices, financial security, and personal fulfillment. We’ll also talk about the importance of cash flow over net worth, the concept of 'memory dividends,' and why focusing on health, family, philanthropy, and community is critical at all levels of wealth.

 “There's a problem with too little money, but there's also a problem with too much money.” ~ Dr. Vikram Raya 

 In This Episode:

- Sam Parr’s levels of wealth explained

- Challenges the rich face beyond $100 Million

- Key takeaways and reflections

Success isn’t a six-lane highway. It’s a lonely, bumpy back road filled with self-doubt and lessons that forge unshakable endurance. In this solo episode, I open up about what it really looks like behind the scenes of building multiple seven- and eight-figure companies: the late nights, the tough calls, the inner battles, and the moments when you question if it’s all worth it. 

I share raw insights from my journey through four ventures and the pivotal moments that taught me to embrace discomfort, make bold moves, and trust the process even when the applause fades. You’ll learn how to navigate crises, why pattern recognition separates good leaders from great ones, and how thinking in decades, not days, transforms your impact and peace of mind.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your pursuit of success, this is your reminder that solitude sharpens mastery. Stay focused, stay disciplined, and keep driving toward greatness.

 “Success leaves clues. Your job is to spot them naturally and amplify them.” ~ Dr. Vikram Raya 

 In This Episode:

- Lessons from adversity in Viking Capital

- Thinking in decades, not days

- The birth of Limitless MD and transformational coaching

- Building the Vitology Institute and the lessons learned

- Becoming an advisor at Moon Pursuit Capital

- Recognizing and creating patterns for success

- The five-step crisis playbook
