Healthcare pioneer Rushika Fernandopulle joins us to discuss his new venture Liza and why this is the perfect moment to build new primary care models from the bottom up. Rushika argues that “shareholder value” has usurped the needs of patients in US healthcare, and that fundamental rethinking, not optimizing or tweaking at the edges, is needed. Rushika shares the ‘build principles' for Liza:Backload constraints - don't frontload them. First show that a new approach works, then figure out the business modelTake cues from conscious capitalism: the purpose of a business is to create good in the world, not to optimize shareholder value Figure out the right thing to do, not a business that fits how healthcare is brokenRushika argues that AI invites us to rethink healthcare based on abundance, not scarcity:“We've built our whole economy, all our processes with this assumption of scarcity, that there were a scarce number of human brains who could do things, right? Doctors, teachers, et cetera. And now all of a sudden that assumption has gone away. So we need to rethink from scratch how we build these systems. So that's what we're trying to do at Liza. Like, what if we started from scratch?”Relevant LinksMore information on LIZA HealthThe book Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey et alPodcast episode where Tim Ferris and Jerry Colonna talk about sabbaticalsArticle by Sara Riggare about living with Parkinson's and her image of blue and red dotsAbout Our GuestRushika Fernandopulle is a practicing physician who is the CEO of Liza Health, a startup building a new AI-enabled platform for Primary Care.

This interview features Tanya Richmond, a social worker and consultant specializing in person-centered practices, which focus on understanding individuals—especially those with intellectual, developmental, or age-related vulnerabilities—by balancing what is important to them (their preferences, values, and sense of purpose) with what is important for them (their health and safety). Richmond explains that truly person-centered support requires deep listening, observation, and structured skills—such as "good day/bad day" analysis and understanding routines—to uncover what matters most to individuals, even when they cannot communicate verbally. She discusses her career progression into this field, her work training organizations, and the development of interactive e-learning courses designed to teach these practices to caregivers, professionals, and families. The conversation highlights the importance of empowering individuals to direct their own lives, improving caregiver confidence and reducing burnout, and adapting training to meet the needs of aging populations and people with disabilities. Richmond concludes by emphasizing three key principles: listen first to understand the person, focus on strengths rather than limitations, and promote inclusion and belonging so individuals can fully participate in their communities.

For many Kentuckians with dementia, medical interventions may seem like the only choice, but a new University of Kentucky study shows that prioritizing joy and engagement through enrichment activities is vital for the health of both residents and the caregivers who support them. Researchers from the School of Music in the UK College of Fine Arts and the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging investigated how complementary and supportive care programs (CSCPs) — like animal interactions, music therapy and group games — affect life in four different Kentucky care facilities. Dr. Greg talks with lead researcher Alaine E. Reschke-Hernández.

Host and owner of The Cavu Group, Leslie Short, interviews Cynthia Overton, PHD.Cynthia Overton, PhD, is an author, speaker, and advocate for person-centered care. Her perspective is shaped by her experience after a rare spinal cord injury led to seven weeks in three hospitals, where she sought high-quality care, negotiated with insurance companies, relearned to walk, and transitioned into life with a disability. That journey inspired her book, Clear Cane Chronicles: Shaping the Future of Healthcare Through Person-Centered Care, and ongoing work to develop a digital companion to support people navigating care beyond the clinic.Discussion:1. What is Person-Centered care?2. Health Insurance vs. Care3. What's Missing in our health system4. Being your best advocate5. Building your health care team6. Accessibility has different meanings for: Patient, Hospital, Insurance, Dr.'s, and society...

In this episode of The Health Advocates, Steven Newmark sits down with Dr. Cynthia Overton to explore what person‑centered care truly looks like, through the eyes of someone who has lived it. At age 26, Cynthia experienced a sudden spinal cord injury that left her temporarily paralyzed—an event that fundamentally reshaped her understanding of health care. Today, she draws on both lived experience and evidence‑based frameworks to help organizations and individuals rethink how care is delivered, with an emphasis on dignity, communication, and whole‑person support. Together, Steven and Cynthia discuss disability inclusion, health equity, and why every patient interaction has the power to transform not only individual outcomes, but the system as a whole.Contact Our HostSteven Newmark, Chief of Policy at GHLF: snewmark@ghlf.orgA podcast episode produced by Ben Blanc, Director, Digital Production and Engagement at GHLF.We want to hear what you think.

Understanding Person-Centered Care for Older Adults in Six Developing Countries: Brazil [Episode 1] Download the Transcript The impact of population aging is universally recognized and has been extensively studied in wealthier, developed nations. But we know much less about how aging is experienced in low- and middle-income countries and how developing countries are responding to the current challenges created by the aging of their populations. The rapid rate of population aging in many developing countries—fueled by falling fertility rates and a shift in the predominance of chronic diseases rather than acute and infectious illnesses—has left little time to anticipate and prepare for the consequences of aging populations. The GSA Interest Group on Common Data Elements for International Research in Residential Long-term Care has developed a limited podcast series to provide insights into how culture, competing population health priorities, political conflict, and resource limitations influence older adults, their families, and paid/formal caregivers in six nations along a trajectory of national development, including Brazil, China, East Jerusalem, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Thailand. Guest: Patrick Alexander Wachholz, PhD Dr. Wachholz is a geriatrician in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Professor at the Botucatu Medical School at Sao Paulo State University. Dr. Wachholz is also a researcher at the Brazilian National Front for Strengthening Long-Term Care, a network promoting and supporting initiatives for long-term care and advocating for stronger public policies for older adults in this setting. Previously, as a consultant to the Pan American Health Organization for the long-term care sector in Latin America, he served as Director of the Department of Geriatric Medicine in a long-term care facility in Brazil. Dr. Wachholz is currently Editor-in-Chief of Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging.

But we know much less about how aging is experienced in low- and middle-income countries and how developing countries are responding to the current challenges created by the aging of their populations. The rapid rate of population aging in many developing countries—fueled by falling fertility rates and a shift in the predominance of chronic diseases rather than acute and infectious illnesses—has left little time to anticipate and prepare for the consequences of aging populations. The GSA Interest Group on Common Data Elements for International Research in Residential Long-term Care has developed a limited podcast series to provide insights into how culture, competing population health priorities, political conflict, and resource limitations influence older adults, their families, and paid/formal caregivers in six nations along a trajectory of national development, including Brazil, China, East Jerusalem, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Thailand. Guest: Amal Abu Awad, PhD, RN, MSN Dr. Abu Awad serves as the Chief Nursing Officer at Augusta Victoria Hospital. She has an educational background that includes a baccalaureate degree in nursing from Al-Quds University in the West Bank, a master's degree in pediatric and neonatal nursing from the University of South Carolina, and a doctoral degree in nursing from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a minor in educational leadership and policy analysis. Additionally, Dr. Abu Awad has a significant history in education, having previously worked as the Dean of Ibn Sina College for Health Sciences and as the Director General of Education in Health at the Ministry of Health of the Palestinian Territory.  Host: Barbara Bowers, PhD, RN, FAAN, FGSA, Emerita Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, School of Nursing; Founding Director of the UW–Madison School of Nursing's Center for Aging Research and Education Moderator: Jing Wang, PhD, RN, FAAN, Assistant Professor at the University of New Hampshire, College of Health and Human Services This podcast limited series is supported by the GSA Innovation Fund.

The well-known Golden Rule can fall short when applied in end-of-life situations. A research article makes the case for The Platinum Rule. The Platinum Rule: A New Standard for Person-Centered Care, by Harvey Max Chochinov, OC, PhD, MD, FRCPC : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9145569/ “The Platinum Rule, which would have us consider—doing unto patients as they would want done unto themselves—offers a standard that is more likely to result in treatment decisions that are consistent with patients' personal needs and objectives.”Those of us who are not medical professionals have our own opportunities here. First, tell your family what you want! Second, if we know that we are likely to be in the position to make decisions for someone, we can encourage them to help us know what they want and not leave us guessing, imagining, and assuming.  That position invites pressure, conflict, and guilt.  Third, if we do find ourselves in the position of making a decision for a loved one, we need to remember to go for the platinum, not the gold. And if we haven't done our own advance planning and communicating, let's get going asap.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

S2E27: Don't Just Speak Empathy, Do Empathy with Adrienne Boissy, MD, CMO at Qualtrics and host Dr. Nick. The vast majority of the medical professionals arrived at their career because they cared. They cared about people, understood others and their problems and suffering, and wanted to be part of helping. So what happened between the ideal and entry into the long track and marathon race that takes that dream and turns it into the reality of caring for patients? Look no further than the 2009 report in the journal of Academic Medicine: The Devil is in the Third Year: A Longitudinal Study of Erosion of Empathy in Medical School. The good news as you will hear Adrienne point out is that despite all the failings people still trust healthcare, but we need to deliver on that trust. Your better pill to swallow is to deliver on the promise of Person-Centered Care, a fully holistic approach to caring not just for the patients but the staff who are responsible for that by creating a holistic listening and monitoring infrastructure that is working all day every day to provide the insights and then acting and responding to that data from the top to bottom of your organization.

I am joined by Andrea Nakayama, an internationally-known Functional Medicine Nutritionist, educator, and speaker who is leading a movement to transform the health industry into a system that WORKS, empowering patients and practitioners alike with the systems and tools of Functional Nutrition. Andrea is celebrated as a leader in the field of Functional Nutrition because of her unique ability to teach and inspire practitioners and patients alike. Andrea synthesizes art and science, empathy and physiology, intuition and problem solving, into a system that truly helps people get to the root cause of their illness, create a path towards wellness, and find their way back to life. Andrea joins us to discuss the power of purpose with passion throughout the life cycle. I started studying with functional nutritionist and lifestyle practitioner Andrea Nakayama in 2016, and I'm thrilled to have her on the show to share her framework and perspective on purpose. Andrea dives into ‘The 5 P's': passion, permission, purpose, persistence, and perseverance. She illustrates the interconnected nature of these five concepts and gives examples of how to implement them into your journey of feeling younger while growing older. When it comes to purpose, there's an effect called the positive psychological construct that has a profound effect on our mental health and cognition as we age. It can be challenging to look within and process the ebbs and flow of life. Andrea shares some helpful exercises that can support the practice of listening in without judgment and finding out what really lights you up. Part of that process involves appreciating your past and stepping into the love that you deserve. We're often taught to sacrifice our boundaries in order to please other people. We discuss examples of what that has looked like in our lives and how we choose to practice radical self-care instead. Listen in to hear more of Andrea's wisdom on purpose and graciously taking care of yourself as you age. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered:Why it's essential to allow yourself to sit in a place of witnessing Listening to what comes up with curiosity, not judgment Letting go of perfectionism and allowing yourself to be a beginner Resisting what puts us on the trajectory of seeking external validation and answers Creating and upholding beautiful boundaries Honoring yourself when your limits are being testing Connect with Andrea: InstagramFunctional Nutrition Alliance Website15-Minute Matrix PodcastGet in Touch: My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Join me for the Magnesium 30-Day Foot Soak Ritual, starting November 1st!
