Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Rebecca Gilbert, MD, PhD, for joining me on Episode #166 of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner. Dr. Gilbert is a movement disorders specialist at Bellevue Hospital in New York City and Chief Mission Officer of the American Parkinson's Disease Association. She trained at Memorial Sloan Kettering and Columbia University, where she studied under renowned movement disorders specialist Dr. Stanley Fahn. During our 35-minute conversation, Dr. Gilbert described the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and emphasized the importance of dopaminergic medications and regular exercise to improve quality of life. We also explored the intriguing and still unexplained observation that music can enhance movement in people with Parkinson's disease. Dr. Gilbert highlighted the new American Parkinson's Disease Association public service announcement launched for Parkinson's Awareness Month, “Do What You Do.” This campaign showcases people with Parkinson's who continue to pursue their passions despite the challenges of the disease. Finally, Dr. Gilbert reviewed recent advances in Parkinson's disease treatment, including adaptive deep brain stimulation and subcutaneous infusion pumps. She also discussed ongoing efforts to develop biomarkers that can diagnose the disease at an earlier stage. For more information about Parkinson's disease, please visit: www.support.apdaParkinson.org #Parkinsons @APDA @RebeccaGilbert #movementdisorders @theartofmedicine #dopamine #DBSPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

What is a family office, and do physicians actually need one? In this episode of the White Coat Investor Podcast, we speak with Josh Kanter about the concept of family offices, the story of Burton W. Kanter, and how high-income professionals can think about organizing, managing, and communicating wealth. We also discuss tools like LeafPlanner, approaches to teaching children about family finances, and whether a formal family office structure makes sense for physicians. This episode explores the intersection of wealth management, legacy planning, and family communication.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Dr. Bilal Ahmed for joining me on Episode #165 of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner. Dr. Ahmed is a cardiologist and entrepreneur.We began our 30-minute conversation discussing his day-to-day work as a interventional and structural cardiologist, which required five years of fellowship training after completing his internal medicine residency. He was recently recruited to develop the structural cardiology program in Columbus, Georgia. The cardiac procedures that Dr. Bilal has been trained to do can be life-saving!In 2024, in his free time, Dr. Ahmed co-founded Lylah Health with his sister after recognizing a connection between cardiac health and the microbiome. He observed that a supplement containing prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics could lower LDL cholesterol by more than 20%—a result short of a high-intensity statin but comparable to some existing cholesterol-lowering medications. As a practicing cardiologist, he saw the potential health benefits for millions of people.Dr. Ahmed is also writing a book about his journey in medicine, his multigenerational family history, and the life lessons he hopes to share with his young daughter. To learn more, please go to: www.Lylahhealth.com#microbiome #hearthealth #cardiology #cardiologist @lylahhealth @bilalahmedPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

High-income doctors often assume that earning more money will naturally lead to wealth—but for many physicians, that never happens. In this episode of the White Coat Investor Podcast, bestselling author David Bach explains why simple, automatic money systems consistently outperform willpower, budgeting, and complex investing strategies. We break down the core ideas behind The Automatic Millionaire, including why automation matters more than motivation, which investments work best for busy professionals, and how small, consistent decisions compound into real wealth over time. We also clarify the often-misunderstood Latte Factor, explaining what it really means—and what it doesn't—especially for high earners who already save a significant amount. This episode applies these concepts directly to doctors, exploring why many physicians still struggle financially despite strong incomes, delayed gratification, and long careers. We discuss the behavioral traps unique to medicine, why simplicity wins, and how automation removes emotion from investing decisions. We also cover a bold proposal to simplify retirement saving in the U.S., the challenge many retirees face when it's time to start spending their money, and a personal story from David about how a temporary move abroad unexpectedly turned into a permanent life change. If you're a doctor, dentist, or high-income professional looking for a clear, practical, and proven approach to building wealth without obsessing over money, this episode lays out a system that actually works.

We discussed the challenges of exercising as one ages or in the presence of chronic illness, the importance of keeping a positive mindset, the advantage of writing down goals, and the value of exercise as an injury prevention strategy.  Dr. Guadagnino stressed the importance of staying active. He emphasized the importance of warming up before exercise and observed that even stretching counts as exercise. Balance exercises can help prevent falls and injuries and are especially important as people age. Even small daily activities like walking or swimming are beneficial and can improve well-being.  Dr. Guadagnino added that supplements may be helpful but are merely a “supplement” to regular physical activity and nutritious meals. To learn more, please check out Dr. Guadagnino's new book, “Fitness Over 50, 60, 70, and Beyond.” You can find more information or contact him at his website: https://drguadbook.comPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Today's episode is all about real estate, straight from the questions you asked during our recent live webinar. We dig into Real Estate Professional Status, short term rental rules, and how the tax benefits actually work across direct properties, syndications, and private funds. We also tackle REITs, including whether target date funds are enough, other Vanguard options beyond VNQ, and where REITs belong in your portfolio from a tax perspective. We also discuss if you really need real estate at all, and how do syndications, funds, and real estate debt compare in the real world. Questions from the Real Estate Webinar: -What does due diligence actually mean? -For the short term rental REP loophole can you still spend more than 100 hours doing a different job, any qualify? -Please go in more detail about short term and opportunity tax loopholes. Any specific resources? -Can the tax benefits of REPs apply to your whole portfolio? ie. direct real estate and private investments? -If you become a real estate professional, for rentals, do you still have to be picked up by a brokerage or can you be the brokerage? -Can you benefit from bonus depreciation to offset your w-2 income in syndications and private real estate funds and does this require REPS? -Are there other REITs with vanguard other than VNQ that may not only include large commercial properties? -If you are going to invest in REITs, where is the best place to purchase those funds? 401? Taxable account? Roth? HSA? -Am I leaving money on the table if I don't invest in real estate in some way? -What are pros & cons of investing in RE Syndication vs Fund vs RE Debt Locumstory.com is a free, unbiased educational resource about locum tenens – it's not a staffing agency.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Edward Kondrot, MD, an ophthalmologic surgeon who also practices homeopathic medicine. He completed a traditional ophthalmologic residency in 1981 and is also a Doctor of Homeopathic Therapeutics (DHt). Dr. Kondrot also regularly performs medical mission work in Africa. He's also worked locum tenens performing ophthalmologic disability evaluations in veterans. Dr. Kondrot is the author of five best-selling books on eye disease and has an active Substack question and answer program. He sees many patients who have not found an effective treatment with conventional medicine and turn to him for alternatives and hope. His interest in homeopathy was kindled when it offered him a cure for his adult-onset asthma, which had not responded to conventional therapy. During our 20-minute conversation, Dr. Kondrot shared the joy he experiences from helping patients preserve or regain their sight. He is a strong proponent of a healthy and nutritious diet to optimize physical function and promote healthy aging. Dr. Kondrot can be reached at his website: healingtheeye.comOr by email: drkondrot@healththeeye.com (For those interested in ophthalmology, please check out Episode #124 with Dr. Daniel Laby, sports vision Specialist.)  #eye #eyedisease #ophthalmology #medicalmission #homeopathy #locumtenens #locumsPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Logan Foltz, MD, EA, for joining me on today's episode of “The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner.” Logan has a unique professional story. After completing his psychiatry residency, he initially worked as an inpatient psychiatrist. Logan discovered how few tools psychiatrists possessed to turn their patients' lives around. He also found his work schedule as physically grueling as it was emotionally unrewarding. He concluded he needed better work/life balance.While preparing his own tax return, Logan became fascinated with the internal revenue service tax code. Using locum tenens as a bridge, Logan gradually transitioned to become a full-time tax specialist. The tangible reality of numbers appealed to him, and the complexity of the tax code challenged his intellect. Logan loved helping his fellow physicians move towards their goals of financial independence. To qualify as a tax professional, he passed the examinations required to earn his “Enrolled Agent” (EA) designation, the IRS's highest credential.Please join us for this fascinating 30-minute conversation as Logan shares his insights into the tax implications of the locum tenens lifestyle. If you are practicing locums and need to know the difference between a W2 and a 1099, Logan can help. You can reach Logan Foltz, MD, EA, at his website: www.tasxmartmd.comFor more programs on taxes, see the following episodes: #03 Ben Nanney, CPAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUh77B6LrEw #06 Johanna Fox, CPAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUAab_Uz-NY #74 Ben Nanney and Jarin Danahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5NYbGfP92k #IRS #taxes #locumtenens #enrolled agent #CPA #loopholesPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to neurologist and author Dr. Carolyn Larkin Taylor for joining me as a guest on “The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner.” Dr. Taylor recently published “Whispers of the Mind,” a collection of essays that describes the extreme challenges faced by her patients, poignant moments, and, finally, a concession to the fragility of life —a concession that, frankly, is difficult for many physicians. Dr. Taylor was in the first class of women who graduated from Notre Dame. After graduation, she trained as an optometrist for four years and then practiced for three years. She realized she wanted to do more and decided to go to medical school to become an ophthalmologist. She attended Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia, PA. But when she rotated on neurology, she “fell in love with it.”  Dr. Taylor ditched ophthalmology and completed her neurology residency at the University of Pennsylvania. She recently worked as a neurologist in Seattle and flew to Alaska a couple of days a month to offer neurology clinics there. Currently, she works at the VA and performs disability evaluations for veterans who have suffered traumatic brain injury.  Dr. Taylor stated that her book “chronicles myJourney and growth as both a neurologist and human being.”  Dr. Taylor always kept a journal, which allowed her to illustrate her patient anecdotes with incredible detail, both physical and emotional. Despite the gravity of her subject matter, she found many of her patients' stories inspiring. She also shares stories of her golden retriever, Prancer, who accompanied her to work and had a knack for comforting patients.  We had a fascinating 40-minute discussion.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Matthew Hermann, MD, a radiologist and Founder of the teleradiology company Right Read MD. Dr. Hermann began his career as a conventional radiologist but soon saw the virtues and opportunities of off-site practice.  Now based in Puerto Rico, he leads a team of physicians who provide high-quality radiology care to multiple hospitals. Matt loves Puerto Rico's culture and doesn't object to their low tax rates either! During our 40-minute discussion, Dr. Hermann discussed the potential downsides of conventional telemedicine models. For example, groups that are incentivized solely by productivity, especially those run by private equity companies, may yield suboptimal results. Radiologists working at home can also feel isolated and miss out on learning from colleagues that would occur in a more traditional patient care setting. Dr. Hermann explored whether teleradiology is a good long-term career option. While today's demand is great, it's unclear what the future holds for this type of medical service. Dr. Hermann emphasized the hidden value of dedicated on-site radiologists who can develop professional relationships with referring physicians. Relationships between radiologists and surgeons, for example, have proven to influence surgical decision-making. However, when hospitals lack the resources for permanent on-site radiologists, teleradiology becomes a clinically necessary and attractive option. Chart access for teleradiologists, along with a focus on patient care rather than pure productivity, can help mitigate the negatives of operating off-site.  Dr. Hermann's company handles licensing and credentialing. He also ensures that radiologists on his team are appropriately compensated. Right Read MD continues to grow. To learn more or to contact Dr. Hermann, please check out his website: www.rightreadmd.comor email info@rightreadmd.com  #teleradiology #entrepreneur #burnout #hospitalmedicine #radiology #telemedicinePlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Heather Signorelli, DO, for joining me on The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner. Heather is a practicing pathologist and owner of a medical billing company. Heather's interest in medicine and business began at an early age. Her father was an obstetrician for his entire career, and her mother was involved in hospital management.At medical conferences, physicians who struggled with running their offices frequently asked Heather for help and inspired her to start her company. Heather began her medical billing business with her husband five years ago. Currently, she supervises 70 employees and assists 200 physician practices in collecting payments for their services. The current complexity of the number of carriers, plans, and rules conspires to prevent physicians from receiving prompt reimbursement for their services. The industry average is 40 days to get paid, although Heather's company tries to shorten this considerably. Heather explained the top 3 things that physicians can do to improve collections. During our 30-minute discussion, we explored the growing concept of the Concierge Practice, which is a cash-based model. We also addressed the role of AI in streamlining office procedures and controlling overhead.Micro-practices, as presented on this program by Kara Pepper, MD, on August 31, 2025, are another option to traditional insurance-based practices.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Paul Sippil, CPA, for joining me on today's episode of “The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner!” Paul is a CPA with a special interest in retirement planning for physicians. He started his career as an auditor, but soon moved on to work in financial services, which he found more satisfying.  Although he trained as a CPA, today Paul's practice focuses on optimizing 401(k) and pension plans for medical practices rather than on personal tax questions. Paul identifies himself as a “forensic 401 (k) consultant” or more loosely, a “401 (k)  Vigilante.” During our 30-minute discussion, Paul emphasized that “hidden” fees are often part of 401 (k) retirement plans. To optimize savings, these fees must first be identified and then, potentially, negotiated. We discussed the current absurd fee structure of “assets under management,” which should be avoided. Paul recommended that physicians seek out financial advisors who are “fee for service,” which is definitely sound advice based on discussions with other wealth managers we have had on this program! We also discuss the role of the personal CPA. To learn more or to contact Paul, please check out his website: https://www.paulsippil.com/ and YouTube channel: at https://www.youtube.com/@paulsippil Thanks again to Paul Sippil for sharing your expertise on The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! @paulsippil #feeforservice #assetsundermanagement #401k #fiduciaryPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Courtney is a nutrition health coach who specializes in helping people with gastrointestinal distress or excessive weight gain when conventional medical approaches fail.  Courtney is certified in functional diagnostic nutrition testing. These tests assess adrenal health, hormone balance, and oxidative stress, and can help explain chronic, disagreeable gastrointestinal symptoms. Courtney has had great success working with patients to identify dietary triggers and alter their eating behaviors and lifestyles. These interventions can have a surprisingly beneficial effect on gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, frequent bowel movements, and lack of energy. During our 30-minute conversation, we addressed the potential harms of ultraprocessed foods and excessive weight gain. Courtney advised healthier food alternatives, as well as the benefits of an individualized, holistic approach to health.  To contact Courtney Cowie, please check out her website: www.courtneycowie.com.
