When people think about healthcare marketing, they often picture numbers—safety stats, product specs and clinical data. But behind every hospital decision is a person who cares. A nurse focused on keeping patients safe. A doctor working for better outcomes. An administrator trying to build a healthier, more supportive environment. Healthcare is personal—and the marketing behind it should be too. That's what Episode 39 of the Brand Slam podcast is all about. Co-hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata talk with Nuno Azeredo, Vice President of Global Marketing at Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP). Nuno has a unique background: he's worked on well-known consumer brands like Kleenex and held leadership roles in healthcare companies like Baxter and Hill-Rom. He understands both the heart and the science behind marketing. In this episode, Nuno shares how emotion plays a big role in healthcare marketing—even when you're selling something as technical as sterilization systems. It's easy to focus on features and facts, but the strongest brands connect with people. They speak to how a product helps real patients, real caregivers and real lives. Nuno also talks about the power of context—understanding where your customer is, what they're feeling and what they need in the moment. It's a powerful reminder for marketers: even in complex, technical industries, the best brands lead with empathy and real human connection. Interested in a particular topic or want to be a guest?

Recorded at this year's annual Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) World Congress in London, this conversation deals with a crisis that modern practitioners will recognise; how do we adapt to the needs of a collectively older population? We begin by focusing upon the Australian Intergenerational Report's alarming projections about an aging population and its impact on healthcare expenditure. It's a problem mirrored by many other Western nations. The conversation covers the ARC model, a solution that shows promise in improving postoperative outcomes by offering advanced recovery room care. We also discuss the importance of addressing blood pressure, fluid management, and potential cost-effective healthcare strategies to manage the increasing elderly population requiring surgery. We conclude by emphasizing the need for comprehensive measures beyond the ARC model to tackle the emerging healthcare challenges globally. Presented by Andy Cumpstey with Guy Ludbrook, Professor of Anaesthesia at the University of Adelaide and Royal Adelaide Hospital and Esrom Leaman is a specialty trainee in anaesthetics at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Research Fellow at the Centre for Perioperative Health Economics & Policy.

If you go to your doctor with symptoms, they'll give you drugs to manage those symptoms without addressing the root causes.

So who is really qualified to help you get to the root causes and how does education vary from one health care provider to the next? This episode is dedicated to helping you understand the differences between western and functional medicine so you can pick the best health care provider for you, when you need them the most.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: The history behind natural medicine The dark history of Western Medicine and Big Pharma The education diffferent health care professionals get Root causes vs symptom management How to know who you can trust with your health   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Welcome back to another episode of Ditch the Labcoat! This week, Dr. Mark Bonta is joined once again by the ever-insightful Dr. Dante Morra—innovator, internal medicine specialist, and the driving force behind the Can Health Network. In this wide-ranging conversation, they pull back the curtain on the current state and future of Canadian healthcare, tackling everything from the rise of AI-driven virtual care to the systemic issues clogging up our hospitals.Dr. Morra breaks down the four pillars of healthcare—catastrophic, chronic disease, episodic, and preventative—and reveals why technology and innovation are set to overhaul not only how care is delivered, but who's really in control. Together, they discuss why it's easier to buy alcohol and gamble than it is to book a physical exam, what it takes to nudge a population toward better health, and how Canadian-made solutions like virtual triage and optimized healthcare “front doors” could change the game.But most of all, this episode is about who will drive real change: not the policymakers or administrators, but people—patients, citizens, and entrepreneurs—who are tired of waiting, ready to take control, and brave enough to disrupt the system from the outside in. Whether you work in medicine, depend on it, or just want a preview of where our healthcare is headed, you'll leave with big ideas and plenty of hope for what's possible next. Plug in, listen up, and—as always—question everything.Episode Highlights1. Courage to Lead Change — Courage is essential to make necessary healthcare changes; everyone knows what to do, but few are willing to go first.2. Rise of AI in Care — AI surpasses traditional care in planned prevention, aggregating biomarkers and histories for optimized personal health plans.3. Healthcare's Four Categories — Understanding catastrophic, chronic, episodic, and preventative care clarifies where innovation and resources should be focused.4. Self-Directed Health Solutions — Technology empowers individuals to manage their healthcare directly, sometimes bypassing traditional systems entirely.5. Misaligned Incentives — Payment structures incentivize episodic and acute care over preventive or chronic care management, perpetuating system inefficiencies.6. Public vs Private Innovation — System transformation will likely come from private sector innovators, not within public institutions mired in political and structural inertia.7. Danger of Easy Vices — Society makes harmful behaviors like gambling and alcohol dangerously accessible, contributing significantly to declining population health.8. Canadian Healthcare Renaissance — Canada stands on the brink of a health innovation renaissance, with technology and empowered citizens leading the way.Episode Timestamps 6:10 — AI's Role in Episodic Care 9:32 — Optimizing Healthcare Access with AI 10:25 — Self-Care Revolution in Healthcare 14:51 — Canadian Healthcare Access Challenges 18:37 — Technology's Impact on Business Models 21:31 — Predictive Health Tools: Behavior Impact? 25:47 — "Courageous Leadership Challenges" 28:12 — Disrupted Pay Model in Healthcare 30:41 — Public vs. Private Industry Dynamics 35:53 — Healthcare System's Struggles and Growth 38:36 — "Virtual Hallway Revolutionizing Healthcare" 41:26 — Embracing Disruptive Health Technology 44:17 — Disruption Sparks Hopeful Healthcare ChangeDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Gigi Robinson grew up with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a disease that turns your joints into overcooked spaghetti. Instead of letting it sideline her, she built a career out of telling the truth about invisible illness. We talk about what it takes to grow up faster than you should, why chronic illness is the worst unpaid internship, and how she turned her story into a business. You'll hear about her days schlepping to physical therapy before sunrise, documenting the sterile absurdity of waiting rooms, and finding purpose in the mess.

That broken moment in a broken system launched a career dedicated to fixing what fails patients every day.

Expected to "get married, have kids and stay home," Rae chose a different path—one that led from nearly becoming a physician to mastering the business of healthcare transformation. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Rae also speaks about: Why pharmacy benefits are the number one utilized benefit and first indicator of health problems How text message prescriptions are disrupting decades of pharmacy confusion What happens when technology costs go down everywhere except healthcare Why connecting lab tests, AI, and genetics could eliminate medication guesswork How to choose your own journey when it doesn't match family expectations What it means to say "no" in a culture that expects women to say "yes" Chapters 04:02 - A Teenager's Cancer Diagnosis Meets a Broken System  06:33 - From Patient to Healthcare Revolutionary  08:22 - The Reverse Technology Paradigm in Healthcare  10:57 - The Magic Wand: Personalized Medicine Without the Guesswork  13:35 - Choosing Your Journey Over Others' Expectations  15:55 - Finding Your Village and Your Voice Guest & Host Links Laurie McGraw on LinkedIn Rae McMahan on LinkedIn Connect with Inspiring Women Browse Episodes | LinkedIn | Instagram | Apple | Spotify

In the latest episode of the Health Matters podcast, Wendy Lund sits down with Peter Pitts, former FDA associate commissioner and current president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, to discuss the state of regulatory science and communication in health care. Pitts shares a cautiously optimistic outlook for the FDA under Commissioner Makary, noting the agency's renewed focus on innovation, patient engagement and modernization. He also stresses the importance of alignment among marketing, legal and regulatory teams—what he calls “regulatory therapy”—to ensure health communications serve the public good. The conversation spans high-stakes topics such as direct-to-consumer advertising, misinformation, and missed PDUFA dates, with Pitts urging both regulators and industry leaders to improve transparency and collaboration. He calls on pharmaceutical companies to put patients first in communications and avoid blaming the FDA when approvals stall. Pitts also encourages the agency to learn from industry on how to better engage the public.
