This is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Zwade Marshall and the final episode for a while as Dr. Disha begins a new chapter, opening her own Direct Primary Care practice. Dr. Zwade Marshall is an Emory and Harvard trained anesthesiologist, interventional pain specialist, CMO of Regenerative Spine and Pain Specialists, and co-founder and CEO of Doc2Doc Lending, a lending platform created by doctors for doctors. In this closing installment, Dr. Marshall explains what it truly means for physicians to make empowered decisions when opening, financing, and building their own practice. He shares the financial pitfalls many doctors overlook, the importance of understanding market demographics, and how tools such as Tenant Improvement Allowance and ownership-based tax benefits can significantly shape long-term wealth for private practice physicians. If you are planning to open a clinic, transition into DPC, or simply want to understand practice financing more clearly, this episode offers practical guidance that medical training rarely covers. Key Topics Covered: 1. How empowered doctors make empowered decisions Why physicians must learn to evaluate risk, financing, long-term ROI, and operational decisions with the same confidence they use in clinical care—and how that mindset shift changes everything. 2. Financing your own medical practice Understanding budget allocations, startup capital, cost projections, and what you should (and shouldn't) take on debt for when building your practice from scratch. 3. The Market Demographic Survey What a demographic report actually tells you, how it affects patient volume and payer mix, and why it's one of the most critical early steps in choosing your practice location. 4. Tenant Improvement Allowance (TIA) What TIA is, how landlords use it to attract medical tenants, how much you can negotiate, and how it reduces upfront buildout costs for new practice owners. 5. Why owning your medical practice building is a long-term wealth strategy The tax benefits, equity growth, and stability that come with being your own landlord—and why many physicians only realize these advantages too late in their careers. 6. Financing (How do doctors get capital?) Especially when they don't have revenue yet. Listener Takeaways: The mindset shifts required to become an empowered, financially confident physician How to allocate budget and financing when opening a practice Why demographic surveys are essential for choosing the right location How Tenant Improvement Allowances work and how to negotiate them The long-term tax benefits and wealth advantages of owning your practice property How platforms like Doc2Doc support physicians with smarter, physician-centered lending Real-world financial advice every doctor should know before launching a private practice or DPC model Connect with Us: Host: Dr. Disha Spath, The Frugal Physician Guest: Dr. Zwade Marshall, CEO of Doc2Doc Lending This episode is brought to you by Doc2Doc Lending.

Dr. Carole Keim welcomes Dr. David Tusek, board-certified Family Physician and Founder of Cloud Medical, to the show to discuss early childhood development and the good habits that set children up for life. Dr. Tusek identifies the five pillars of health and discusses personalized and preventive childhood medicine with Dr. Keim. The conversation explores modern habits and their impact on children, the critical role of parents, and the idea of introducing a whole-person health framework into children's growth to ensure emotional and physical well-being.The five pillars of health identified by Dr. Tusek are hydration, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. He and Dr. Keim expand on each pillar, describing how sugar functions in nutrition, the glycemic index and its relation to prediabetes in children. The importance of movement and outdoor play is highlighted, especially as screens take priority in children's lives, and they stress the need for better sleep hygiene. The conversation investigates how healthy whole-person habits can be fostered from a young age and how the right habits can help steer children away from chronic disease. Dr. David Tusek:Dr. Tusek is a board-certified family physician who also has experience as an emergency room doctor. He is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and the Institute of Functional Medicine.Dr. Tusek relishes the close connectivity with his Cloud DPC patient-members, whether they are training for the Olympics, dealing with an illness, or simply trying to lose a few pounds. He believes that enhancing one's quality of life is just as important as extending the quantity of our years.Dr. Tusek combines expertise in advanced diagnostics and optimization of brain and body function using a broad-based approach, blending cutting-edge technologies with a natural orientation. He uses a wide variety of gentle, needle-based therapies to treat musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions and injuries (including PRP and Botox).

He then went on to launch Cloud Medical DPC, and currently oversees several other healthcare ventures and projects related to health optimization, behavior change, and addiction medicine.He believes that the soul of primary care medicine lies both in diagnosing and treating existing health problems with the most advanced technologies, as well as deeply considering what it means to be healthy and to heal as human beings, and how to most efficiently unlock our innate capacities for thriving and flourishing. In the spirit of this pursuit, Cloud Medical has launched a variety of programs under the “School of Health” banner.As a previous member of the steering committee of the Direct Primary Care Coalition based in Washington, DC, Dr. Tusek is a recognized leader in healthcare transformation and was invited to the White House to discuss the future of American medicine.

Today's episode is one of the most important conversations we've had on My DPC Story. As of July 4th, we are standing at a true inflection point for Direct Primary Care—and for every physician, employer, broker, advocate and patient who believes primary care should be personal, accessible, and free from insurance middlemen.In this special session, I'm joined by Jay Keese, Executive Director of the Direct Primary Care Coalition, who has spent more than a decade at the front lines in Washington, DC. Together, we break down what HR 1—the major tax bill signed into law this year—actually means for DPC. This includes:The historic win: HSAs are now fully compatible with Direct Primary Care for the first time ever.What patients can do starting January 1: Use tax-free HSA dollars to pay for DPC memberships without losing HSA eligibility.How this changes the landscape: New opportunities with employers, brokers, high-deductible plans, and even ACA bronze/catastrophic plans.What stays the same, what's evolving, and what rulemaking from the IRS will finalize.What's coming next: How DPC can scale responsibly and sustainably as demand accelerates.If you've ever wondered how policy actually becomes reality—or what the future of DPC looks like on a national scale—you'll want to listen closely. This episode is equal parts celebration, clarification, and a roadmap for what comes next.Learn about healthcare for your own family and about health shares today!

Today we hear from Dr. Maria Rutmann, founder of Lionheart Direct Primary Care in northern Maine. She discusses the transformative power of the Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic model as physician burnout and healthcare system challenges escalate nationwide. Dr. Rutmann shares her journey from working in a traditional fee-for-service hospital group - where mounting administrative demands and loss of autonomy led to emotional exhaustion - to reclaiming her purpose and joy in medicine through DPC.Listeners learn how Lionheart DPC empowers physicians to practice value-based care by fostering lasting patient-physician relationships, personalizing health experiences, and eliminating the barriers of insurance-driven healthcare. Dr. Rutmann emphasizes that DPC not only improves healthcare access in rural areas, but also allows doctors the time and freedom to provide comprehensive, preventative, and patient-centered care. Families in her community have experienced the convenience and rapid responsiveness of the DPC model, sometimes avoiding costly and time-consuming ER visits and walk-ins thanks to direct communication and same-day appointments.This episode also highlights how DPC serves as a solution to physician burnout, supporting practitioners to reconnect with their sense of purpose, maximize patient outcomes, and enjoy professional autonomy. Listeners considering DPC - from those facing moral injury in fee-for-service settings, to those interested in community-driven, flexible healthcare - will find practical advice, heartfelt encouragement, and proof that a better way in healthcare is not only possible, but thriving.Keywords: physician burnout, healthcare access, direct primary care, DPC, value-based care, physician autonomy, patient-centered care, rural healthcare, medical practice models, Lionheart Direct Primary Care.Learn about healthcare for your own family and about health shares today!

Health care strategist Dana Y. Lujan discusses her article "Why direct primary care (DPC) models fail." Dana argues that the DPC community's obsession with "purity" is missing the point, stating that these models don't fail over ideology, they fail because of bad math. She uses the University of Houston's $1 million clinic failure as a prime example of a "fundamental market mismatch," where a DPC model was placed in a low-income area that couldn't sustain its membership fees (a ~70 percent revenue deficit). Dana also debunks the myth that institutions can't run successful DPC programs, citing CHI Health and Johns Hopkins as proof that financial sustainability and market fit are the true keys. This episode explores the critical difference between what's legally permissible and what's operationally sustainable, and why the DPC conversation must shift from philosophy to execution.

The fee-for-service model isn't just failing your clients; it's actively burning out the very doctors they're supposed to trust. My guest this week, Dr. John Van Der Veer, isn't just a critic of this broken model; he's a refugee from it. After hitting his own breaking point as a primary care doc and Chief Medical Officer, he built the alternative: a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice. In this episode, Dr. Van Der Veer gives you a doctor's firsthand account of why the FFS system is designed to fail. We get into the new framework that DPC provides, how it actually aligns incentives to save your clients money, and how he's scaling it through a massive partnership with Hy-Vee. This is the proof you need to finally lead your clients away from the problem and toward the solution.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) A Doctor's Take On How Fee-For-Service Is Failing Your Clients (00:09:05) The DPC Fix: Realigning Incentives with Patient Care (00:09:24) The Gateway to Smarter, Cheaper Advanced Care (00:11:29) More Time, Better Outcomes: The DPC Patient Experience (00:24:01) Scaling the Solution: The Hy-Vee Partnership (00:32:22) The Engagement Strategy: Getting People to Actually Use DPC CONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY
