While it's easy to pick on concierge medicine practice for its highly visible moniker, small medical offices outside of this niche space are often more guilty of this than concierge practices. Here are ten compelling reasons why this marketing strategy is flawed: By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today While concierge medicine aims to deliver exceptional care, making the physician the product can lead to significant setbacks. To succeed, practices must prioritize relationships, foster teamwork, and emphasize patient outcomes. By adopting a balanced approach that values both the physician's expertise and the contributions of the broader healthcare team, concierge medicine can achieve lasting success and genuinely serve its patients. 1. Unrealistic Expectations Could Lead to Burnout Prioritizing the doctor as a product places immense pressure on physicians, contributing to burnout—affecting nearly 42% of doctors (Maslach et al., 2018). A physician who is overwhelmed can't provide the high-quality care patients deserve. On the one hand, it doesn't take long to resent the relentless pressure and unrealistic expectations. On the other hand, it's far too easy to get addicted to them – to like being at the center too much. Way too much. 2. Erosion of Personal Connection Reducing physicians to products undermines essential personal relationships crucial to healthcare. Strong patient-physician bonds foster trust and lead to better health outcomes (Hojat et al., 2011). If you were no longer working and kicked out of the practice tomorrow, what would be left of your practice -- would it and could it survive without you?! 3. Increased Competition for Patient Loyalty This model promotes a focus on attracting new patients rather than nurturing existing ones, jeopardizing long-term relationships. Personalized care strategies tend to yield better retention than mere marketing tactics. 4. Unsustainable Business Models Investing heavily in the physician's image rather than improving patient care systems often leads to unstable business practices (MGMA, 2020). 5. Unrealistic Patient Expectations Marketing healthcare around a physician's capabilities can foster unrealistic expectations, leaving patients disappointed when their complex needs aren't met. If you were no longer working and kicked out of the practice tomorrow, what would be left of your practice -- would it and could it survive without you?! 6. Neglect of Team-Based Care Emphasizing the individual physician sidelines the contributions of the healthcare team, compromising overall quality. Effective care requires collaboration among all team members (McGlynn et al., 2003). 7. Misguided Investment in Technology When the focus is on the physician, practices may overlook necessary investments in technology that enhance care and efficiency, ultimately affecting patient satisfaction (Albrecht et al., 2019). On the one hand, it doesn't take long to resent the relentless pressure and unrealistic expectations. On the other hand, it's far too easy to get addicted to them – to like being at the center too much. Way too much. 8. Diminished Patient Diversity An overemphasis on a single physician can narrow patient demographics, reducing the practice's accessibility and diversity, which are crucial for enriching healthcare. 9. Revenue Over Care Focus When financial gain becomes the primary driver, patient satisfaction often declines. Research underscores that patient-centric practices yield better health outcomes and greater cost-effectiveness (National Academy of Medicine, 2019). 10. Missed Opportunities for Continuous Improvement Focusing solely on the doctor can stifle innovation. Continuous education and system enhancements are vital in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.

What does it truly mean to grow as a doctor, not just in skill, but in humanity? In this powerful episode, Dr. Tarek Souaid joins us to discuss his book How Doctors Grow and reflect on the emotional journey of becoming a physician. From the high-stakes environment of the Cleveland Clinic to the quiet moments that shaped his empathy, Dr. Souaid opens up about what medical training often overlooks: the importance of emotional intelligence, patient connection, and self-care. We dive into the common communication pitfalls young doctors face, how to foster meaningful doctor-patient relationships, and why burnout continues to plague the profession. Dr. Souaid also shares insights on navigating stress during residency and how institutions can better support physician wellbeing. Whether you're in medicine or simply curious about its human side, this episode is a thoughtful exploration of growth, resilience, and purpose. #HowDoctorsGrow #MedicalHumanism #PhysicianWellbeing #EmpathyInMedicine #DoctorBurnout #EmotionalIntelligence #ResidencyLife #MedicalTraining #DoctorPatientRelationship #HealthcareLeadership #NarrativeMedicine #ClevelandClinic #MedicalEducation #HumanSideOfMedicine #PhysicianGrowth

Dr. Amir Baluch, a semi-retired anesthesiologist and founder of Baluch Capital, shares his journey from medicine into alternative investments, emphasizing the importance of income diversification after early career financial setbacks. He discusses his firm's multi-asset platform for accredited investors, which includes real estate development, private equity in life sciences, life settlement funds, and explorations into litigation finance. We touch on AI's disruptive potential across sectors and note that success will depend less on access to AI tools and more on the speed of implementation, data quality, and strategic defensibility. We discuss... Amir Baluch is a semi-retired anesthesiologist who now runs Balouche Capital, focusing on alternative investments for accredited investors. Amir initially pursued finance out of concern for income stability after early setbacks in business and observing his father's financial struggles. Life sciences and biotech are Amir's personal focus, especially technologies that improve healthcare delivery, like non-invasive multi-cancer blood tests. Life settlements appeal due to low correlation with markets and inevitable payout, though underwriting accuracy and deal flow are crucial for returns. Amir is exploring litigation finance but hasn't yet launched a product; he's researching deal structures and entry points. Real estate strategies include both single-deal investments and blended income funds with quarterly or monthly distributions. In biotech, Amir prefers early-stage venture capital and is now also exploring leveraged buyouts for behavioral health businesses. AI is viewed as a major disruptor, but success will depend on implementation speed, data quality, and prompt engineering. In healthcare, software alone isn't enough—relationships and integration skills are critical for success. Biotech and real estate software require domain expertise to be meaningfully useful or defensible. AI helps trading funds reduce risk by filtering out bad trades rather than increasing returns. Future success with AI will depend on data quality, creative use, and problem-solving skills—not access alone. Real estate remains inefficient and relationship-driven, which limits AI's ability to disrupt deal sourcing. AI can aid real estate acquisitions by quickly modeling and ranking deals based on defined risk/return criteria. Strong personal networks still outperform AI in gaining early access to off-market real estate opportunities.

Generalizations about ADHD haven't done girls any favors. ADHD often manifests very differently in girls than in boys. What causes parents, educators, and even doctors, to view the symptoms of ADHD differently with girls? We know that masking, and even variations in environments, often cause symptoms to be missed. How is that happening? We're revisiting the subject and chat with Stephen Hinshaw, a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UC San Francisco. Find out more about building neurodiversity-affirming schools, and about the courses we'll be offering soon, here. Stephen P. Hinshaw is Distinguished Professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UC San Francisco. His focus is on developmental psychopathology, child and adolescent mental health (particularly ADHD), and the use of clinical trials to understand underlying mechanisms. He also actively investigates mental illness stigmatization and attempts to reduce such stigma. Hinshaw has authored over 400 articles, chapters, and commentaries, plus 12 books. He has won numerous national and international research awards, including the James McKeen Cattell Fellow Award from the Association for Psychological Science, the Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award from the American Psychological Association, and the Sarnat International Prize in Mental Health from the National Academy of Medicine. He was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2021. His extensive media coverage includes the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Today Show, CBS Evening News, ABC World News Tonight, and many more.

This week we review a recent surgical paper on the 'off-label' use of the Melody valve for replacement of the AV valve in small infants and children. How effective and safe was this procedure? What factors were associated with the need for reintervention and what sorts of reinterventions were most common? Why was catheter based reintervention rarely employed? What sort of anti-coagulation protocol seems best to protect these valves? Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Nebraska, Dr. Samantha Gilg shares the insights from her work this week. DOI: 10.1007/s00246-024-03538-1

In this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we rip the mask off the growing crusade against pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). Critics claim PBMs are behind rising drug costs, but is that the full story - or just the version Big Pharma wants you to believe? If you've ever looked at your pharmacy receipt and wondered why your medication costs more than your electric bill, you won't want to miss this deep dive. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Brian welcomes economist and researcher Satya Marar from the Mercatus Center to break down how PBMs actually work, why they're being blamed for high drug prices, and what the real drivers of healthcare inflation are. Together, they dismantle the most common talking points against PBMs, including rebate manipulation, lack of transparency, spread pricing, and claims of collusion with insurers. It's a masterclass in separating economic fact from political fiction. We also unpack the emotional tug-of-war between small-town pharmacies and corporate chains. What happens when “Fred's Pharmacy” can't compete with CVS and Walgreens? Is it worth paying more for drugs to keep the local guy afloat - or are there smarter ways to balance access, cost, and community values without wrecking the system? But here's the kicker: what if the real culprit isn't the PBMs at all, but a broken government pricing system and global freeloading by other countries? Yeah, we go there. From Medicare's price models to how the U.S. subsidizes R&D for the world, we expose what's actually driving your pill prices through the roof. If you're sick of the soundbites and want real answers about the mess that is American drug pricing - this episode delivers. Tune in, take notes, and walk away with a smarter, sharper view of healthcare economics than most politicians will ever have. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!
In America, body weight has become a pain point shrouded in self-recrimination and shame, not to mention bias from the medical community. For many, this battle not only takes a mental toll but also becomes a physical threat: three-quarters of American adults struggle with weight-related health conditions, including high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.

From 2009-2015 Volkswagen cheated on emissions tests to convince customers to buy 11 million VW cars they thought burned clean diesel. Kimberley Kinsley says “Dieselgate” was the largest ever case of corporate greenwashing. Also: Big tech companies often boast they're using technologies that can save the planet. But Jesse Goldstein argues that the allure of AI–which requires energy hungry data centers–will lead to more and more excuses for why they have to keep fossil fuels flowing. Later in the show: The can-do innovation that emerged after World War II came to define American identity. In his new book, Every American an Innovator, Matthew Wisnioski traces how that culture of innovation we once celebrated is facing a backlash. Plus: For decades, children have traveled with a wacky teacher named Miss Frizzle, who drives the Magic School Bus. Michael Meindl explains how The Magic School Bus became one of the most successful informal science education initiatives ever.

Is the war on PBMs really about helping patients - or just another power grab dressed up as reform? In this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we rip the mask off the growing crusade against pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). Critics claim PBMs are behind rising drug costs, but is that the full story - or just the version Big Pharma wants you to believe? If you've ever looked at your pharmacy receipt and wondered why your medication costs more than your electric bill, you won't want to miss this deep dive. We have a new show on Lions of Liberty!

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Brian welcomes economist and researcher Satya Marar from the Mercatus Center to break down how PBMs actually work, why they're being blamed for high drug prices, and what the real drivers of healthcare inflation are. Together, they dismantle the most common talking points against PBMs, including rebate manipulation, lack of transparency, spread pricing, and claims of collusion with insurers. It's a masterclass in separating economic fact from political fiction. We also unpack the emotional tug-of-war between small-town pharmacies and corporate chains. What happens when “Fred's Pharmacy” can't compete with CVS and Walgreens? Is it worth paying more for drugs to keep the local guy afloat - or are there smarter ways to balance access, cost, and community values without wrecking the system? But here's the kicker: what if the real culprit isn't the PBMs at all, but a broken government pricing system and global freeloading by other countries? Yeah, we go there. From Medicare's price models to how the U.S. subsidizes R&D for the world, we expose what's actually driving your pill prices through the roof. If you're sick of the soundbites and want real answers about the mess that is American drug pricing - this episode delivers.

It's time for another episode of Ask Me Anything. Dawn and Ken answer listener questions that range from generative AI to whether grip strength is a biomarker for longevity and the potential of ketamine as a treatment for depression. Dawn also gives a brief overview of work she is doing with the deep-sea technology company Deep. As a special treat at the end of today's episode, Dawn plays a recording of the commencement speech that Ken recently gave at the University of West Florida. As the saying goes, you don't want to miss it. Show notes: [00:02:18] Ken starts off the episode with a listener question about whether Dawn and Ken read print books or digital, the reason being that a listener recently came across an article that claimed digital screens are rewiring our brains. [00:05:32] A listener asks about a paper titled “Grip Strength An Indispensable Biomarker for Older Adults” which claims that the ability to hang from a bar for 60 seconds for men, and 30 seconds for women, indicates that a person is likely to live longer. The paper claims that a decline in grip strength is associated with adverse health consequences, and the listener asks Ken what advice he has for developing and maintaining grip strength. [00:10:20] A listener asks a question inspired by our recent interview with Dr. Frank Butler. The listener asks if Ken has heard about the FDA approved depression therapy, esketamine, which is a derivative of ketamine and is a long-standing therapy for depression. [00:12:37] A listener asks Ken about a 2023 paper in the journal Age and Aging titled “Higher Dietary Protein Intake is Associated with Sarcopenia in Older British Twins” [00:16:13] A listener asks Ken about “Whisper,” which is a transcription product from OpenAI. The listener explains that OpenAI disclaims that Whisper should not be used in high-risk domains. However, according to a story by the Associated Press titled “Researchers Say an AI Powered Transcription Tool Used in Hospitals Invents Things No One Ever Said,” medical centers have already begun to use the tool to transcribe physician consultations. The listener explains that, according to the article, the use of Whisper in these contexts has led to numerous ‘hallucinations' from the AI tool and the listener asks Ken what his thoughts are on how tools like Whisper should be integrated into various industries. [00:20:21] A listener asks for Ken's thoughts on a series of articles by Kevin Roose in The New York Times claiming that there is no reason to learn how to code and program because very soon AI will take over all coding. Mr. Roose also asserts that the time is soon approaching when we need to have discussions on what rights to grant sentient AI. [00:21:57] A listener asks Ken if he concurs with a report from the National Academy of Medicine titled “Generative Artificial Intelligence in Health and Medicine – Opportunities and Responsibilities for Transformative Innovation,” which notes that large language models (LLMs) hold huge promise for patient care and healthcare system workflows, as well as risks. The listener asks if Ken agrees with the report's claims that two areas in which we could see near term applications of LLMs are patient education and synthesis of information of electronic medical records. [00:23:35] As a follow up question, Ken is asked about the aforementioned report's discussion of the “digital twin” concept. A digital twin is a computational representation of a patient or disease that could be used to speed up virtual experiments or subgroup analysis of investigational agents that carry risk for real patients. [00:26:26] A listener asks for Ken's thoughts on a paper published in the journal of Nutrition Health and Aging titled “Effects of Vitamin D3 Omega 3 Fatty Acids and a Simple Home Exercise Program on Change in Physical Activity Among Generally Healthy and Active Older Adults.” The paper claims that among generally healthy,
President Donald Trump's big budget bill became his big budget law on July 4, codifying about $1 trillion in cuts to the Medicaid program. But the law includes many less-publicized provisions that could reshape the way the nation pays for and receives health care. Meanwhile, at the Department of Health and Human Services, uncertainty reigns as both staff and outside recipients of federal funds face cuts. Rachel Roubein of The Washington Post, Tami Luhby of CNN, and Rachel Cohrs Zhang of Bloomberg News join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF Health News' Julie Appleby, who reported the latest KFF Health News' “Bill of the Month” feature, about some very pricey childhood immunizations.Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The New England Journal of Medicine's “The Corporatization of U.S. Health Care — A New Perspective Series,” by Debra Malina, et al. Rachel Roubein: The AP's “RFK Jr. Promoted a Food Company He Says Will Make Americans Healthy. Their Meals Are Ultraprocessed,” by Amanda Seitz and JoNel Aleccia. Rachel Cohrs Zhang: The Wall Street Journal's “Prosecutors Question Doctors About UnitedHealth's Medicare Billing Practices,” by Christopher Weaver and Anna Wilde Mathews. Tami Luhby: The Washington Post's “A New D.C. Hospital Grapples With Too Many Patients and Too Few Nurses,” by Jenna Portnoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Histamine intolerance is typically mild, but Mastocytosis is the most severe form of mast cell disorder—often taking nearly a decade to diagnose. Symptoms can affect multiple organs, from rashes and GI issues to life-threatening anaphylaxis, and standard treatments like low-histamine diets and antihistamines often fail.Many doctors aren't familiar with testing or treatment options for mast cell issues like Mastocytosis and MCAS.Today, I'm joined by Dr. Mariana Castells, a leading expert in allergy and immunology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She directs the renowned Mastocytosis Center and the Drug Hypersensitivity and Desensitization Center.Even if you have histamine intolerance or MCAS, this episode offers key insights on histamine, testing, and finding real relief—because no one should suffer needlessly.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Connect with Dr. Castells at https://bit.ly/3ItFhU2 - Histamine Overload Masterclass
What if giving birth left you with nightmares, hypervigilance, and a constant sense of dread — and no one believed you? Worse, what if you didn't think it mattered because, after all, the baby is healthy? In this eye-opening episode, host Gabe Howard talks with ADAA member expert Dr. Lauren Sippel about a condition many have never heard of: postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Dr. Sippel explains what postpartum PTSD really looks like, why it's often misdiagnosed, and how to tell the difference between typical new parent stress and clinical trauma. Often overshadowed by postpartum depression and dismissed by loved ones and providers, postpartum PTSD is a silent struggle affecting far more people than we realize. If you or someone you love has felt lost or dismissed after childbirth, this conversation could be life-changing.

I've heard about the peaceful ones. I personally had two unmedicated ones that were not intentionally unmedicated. There was a lot of screaming. And my babies were healthy. And some things went as smoothly as expected and some things did not go as planned. And one of them was pretty scary. And thankfully I did not experience PTSD symptoms from that. Could I tell you why, Gabe? Absolutely not. And if I did, I probably couldn't tell you that either.” ~Lauren M. Sippel, PhD Our guest, Lauren Sippel, PhD, is the Deputy Director of the Northeast Program Evaluation Center in the Department of Veterans Affairs and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. She co-leads the ADAA PTSD Special Interest Group. Her research focuses on improving the quality and effectiveness of psychotherapies, particularly those for PTSD, using strategies such as medication augmentation and family involvement.

In this inspiring conversation, Tara Prisco, PA-C and co-host of Medical Media Mixer, shares how two decades in medicine led her to a creative renaissance. We discuss burnout during the pandemic (Tara lost 1/3 of her patients in a nursing home), and how your body signals when it's time to pivot. Tara urges clinicians to find something fun and non-medical just for themselves, to stop waiting for perfect, and to pursue what lights them up—whether that's within their job or outside of cit. If you've stopped learning, stopped laughing, or stopped feeling like you, this episode is your permission slip to reimagine what's possible.
