Food as Medicine: Why Medical Nutrition Therapy and Medically Tailored Meals Belong in Modern Healthcare: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin argues that food should be treated with the same rigor as medication through medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and “diet prescriptions,” integrating nutrition into treatment plans rather than leaving it as optional advice. She cites evidence that medically tailored meals (MTMs) can improve outcomes and reduce costs, including a Health Affairs simulation estimating $23.7B in first-year net savings nationwide and a Nature Medicine analysis of a Massachusetts Medicaid demonstration (2020–2023) showing MTM recipients had 31% fewer hospitalizations, 20% fewer emergency visits, and $3,433 lower total healthcare costs, offsetting 98% of program costs. She discusses food insecurity, expanding Medicaid coverage via Section 1115 waivers, EHR integration, and how MTMs support adherence for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, and IBS (including low FODMAP).

There's a number attached to every patient's chart that quietly shapes the resources they receive, the care they're offered, and whether their health conditions are fully seen — and most providers don't fully understand it. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Ericka Bauman, Director of Quality Assurance at Your Health, to break down the Risk Adjustment Factor — better known as the RAF score. Ericka has spent years traveling across Georgia and South Carolina, walking into provider offices, sitting with care teams, and doing the work of turning confusing data into meaningful patient outcomes. What you'll hear in this episode: What the RAF score actually is — explained the way Erica explains it to every team she visits, from providers to front desk staff Why most RAF scores are too low — and how underdocumenting a patient's conditions leaves them exposed to missed care, hospitalizations, and unmet needs The biggest misconception providers have about RAF (hint: it's not another box to check) How RAF and quality measurement are really asking the same question from two different angles — and why treating them separately is a mistake What changes for patients when care teams show up prepared, proactive, and looking at the whole person — not just the reason for today's visit The numbers will follow when you take care of the patient. This episode will show you how. www.YourHealth.Org

What happens when a patient can't communicate with the team caring for them? On this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Christin Stanford talks with Erin Dougherty Cieszynski, Manager of Guest Relations and Patient Experience at Main Line Health, about what language access looks like once a policy meets a patient in an exam room. This conversation is part two of a series with Main Line Health, following a leadership-level discussion on operational strategy with Suzanne Smith. Check out part one! Erin brings over 12 years of patient advocacy experience to a conversation grounded in real moments from the floor: emergency department visits, registration desks, and the quiet handoffs between nurse, patient, and family. She walks through how Main Line Health moved from reactive interpreter use to automatic activation, why a universal sign-on changed adoption rates among clinicians, and how something as simple as a badge buddy can close a communication gap before it becomes a safety risk. Erin also shares how an ASL interpreter helped identify a hearing-impaired patient as a victim of human trafficking, connecting the dots between language access, patient safety, and trust. Throughout, she reframes language services as a driver of stronger patient outcomes, better satisfaction scores, and increased community referrals, not just a regulatory requirement. Key Takeaways Language access should be automatic at the start of care, not a last resort. Reducing friction through universal app sign-on, badge buddies, and dual handsets drives faster clinician adoption. Patients who feel heard are more likely to return, refer others, and engage in preventive care. Language access touches the entire patient journey, from registration through discharge and follow-up. Strong interpreter access supports both patient safety and staff satisfaction. Health systems should expect deeper digital integration and a shift toward population-mapped language access strategy.

Most nursing homes think they're measuring success by how many patients move through their building. What they're not measuring is how many of those same patients end up right back in the hospital — and who pays the price when they do. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott Middleton — Owner of Your Health and Chief Disruption Officer — pulls back the curtain on the facility partnership model Your Health is rolling out across the Southeast. It's a model that doesn't just serve patients in skilled nursing facilities; it pays those facilities for the care coordination work their staff is already doing, while creating the kind of presence that actually moves the needle on outcomes. Scott and Jamie cover the mechanics, the competitive landscape, and the cultural shift required to make it all work: Why Your Health is contracting with nursing homes to pay up to $20,000 a month for care coordination — and what that's worth annually to a facility with 200 Medicare patients The difference between "popping in" and genuine presence — and why only one of them drives real cost savings and keeps patients from bouncing back to the hospital Why physicians working in isolation are the biggest liability in a team-based care model, and how a September 1st bonus restructure is designed to change that culture How 80% of what used to require an in-person visit can now happen via telehealth — and the one thing technology will never replace: the relationship that makes a patient actually follow through Scott's 10-year urgency: why Your Health is already three steps ahead of the competition — and why that lead only matters if the model scales fast enough If you work in a nursing facility, lead a care team, run a healthcare organization, or believe the system needs a fundamentally better architecture — this is what building it actually looks like.

How do you lead 16 agencies and serve 8.2 million people without losing sight of the individual? NYC's Deputy Mayor of Health and Human Services Helen Arteaga shows what happens when a leader moves beyond the binary of efficiency vs. compassion, using data and local insights to get both right. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a structured system for serving people from birth through end-of-life means better, consistent care. How to use neighborhood-level data and geographic targeting to serve people before they hit crisis. How to get the right processes in place before feeding data to an AI. The importance of early intervention with babies and children. Why ensuring equal access to good care is so personal for DM Arteaga, and how she honors her father's legacy by doing so.

Tonight, On Your Health First, Dr. Galati has a number of new articles he wants to weigh in on. The first is a New York Times article titled Missed Vaccines, Skipped Colonoscopies: Preventive Care Plummets. There is another about an 87-year-old lady dealing with a prescribing cascade. Dr. Galati ends with a study on the impact alcohol has on blood pressure and one more article on artifical sweetners. 

Send us Fan MailDr. Angela welcomes Dr. John Italiano, a family medicine DO and founder of Thrive Family Health Direct Primary Care, who launched his practice in January 2026, to begin a short men's health series. They discuss his path into direct primary care (DPC), beginning in medical school, and why he chose family medicine for its focus on continuity, relationships, and whole-person care. Turning to men's health, they explore how many men delay seeking care because of cultural expectations around toughness and self-reliance, often dismissing symptoms that deserve attention. They emphasize proactive prevention through six pillars of health—nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, social connection, and avoiding risky substances—using a car-maintenance analogy to illustrate the importance of routine care. The conversation highlights commonly overlooked concerns such as weight gain, fatigue, low motivation, poor sleep, snoring or sleep apnea, irritability, and assumptions about low testosterone, while encouraging early checkups to identify high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, insulin resistance, and prediabetes before they lead to irreversible events like heart attacks or strokes.Support the showFollow me on Instagram @angelalifestylemd and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to my podcast & SHARE this episode.

What if the reason your boss wants you in the office has nothing to do with your productivity — and everything to do with their ego? Scott Middleton admits it: he walked around his 30,000-square-foot corporate office on a Friday afternoon, found nobody, and got irritated. Then he caught himself. The data said his team was productive. The irritation was his ego talking. That moment of self-awareness opens a much bigger conversation about what happens when leaders — in business and in healthcare — stop reading the evidence and start acting on assumption. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott and Jamie dig into: Why most CEOs pushing return-to-office mandates are solving for ego, not outcomes — and the New York Times data that proves it How Your Health is shifting from counting patients to measuring risk scores — and why that changes everything about how care teams are built The "legs grow back on January 1st" problem: how the Medicare system loses patient diagnoses every year and why hospice patients often appear healthier right before they die Why misinterpreting hospice rules is putting patients on the wrong track — and costing providers in ways they don't see coming The role of chaplains in advanced care planning, and why getting that right could reduce hospitalizations and change end-of-life outcomes South Carolina's jump from 49th to 26th in healthcare quality rankings — and what it means for the rest of the country Scott closes with a mission statement that's hard to argue with: at 67, he could have retired. He didn't. If this conversation lights something up in you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. www.YourHealth.Org

The American healthcare system is built around a simple idea: get sick, get treated. But what if the problem isn't how we treat illness — it's that we've never seriously tried to prevent it? In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Brody Wall, Division President of Operations at Your Health, to trace the arc from a broken, reactive healthcare system to one where data tells you what's coming before the patient even knows something is wrong. Brody's path to healthcare wasn't through a textbook — it was through a father who was a Methodist minister and a mother who spent her career caring for underprivileged children. The mission was always there. The data just became the most honest way to fulfill it. In Part 1, Jamie and Brody cover: Why fee-for-service healthcare financially rewards volume of sick visits — not health — and how that one incentive structure explains why 17-20% of America's GDP goes to healthcare costs with outcomes that still lag behind other developed nations What Your Health was flying blind on before it committed to building a real data infrastructure — and what gut-feeling decisions look like when data finally proves them wrong How social determinants of health (Z codes) and behavioral health conditions (F codes) reveal which patients are actually at the highest risk of hospitalization The finding that changed everything: patients with four or more behavioral health conditions were ten times more likely to have multiple ER visits — and the clinical response that followed This isn't just a conversation about numbers. It's about what happens when an organization decides that preventing the crisis matters more than reacting to it. Part 2 drops next week. www.YourHealth.Org

What happens when the rules everyone follows weren't actually rules to begin with? In this episode, Scott Middleton — Owner of Your Health and Chief Disruption Officer — shares what he's seeing on the ground as the TCPA and Providence Care merger moves toward its final close. But the real conversation goes deeper: the quiet, dangerous habit of staff making up policies, enforcing phantom restrictions, and defaulting to "no" when the answer should have been "let's figure it out." Key topics covered: Why fabricated rules (like requiring a psych NP referral for talk therapy) become embedded in organizations — and how to stop it How Scott is approaching the merger with radical transparency, and why "don't tell until it's done" has no place in his culture The one thing that will get you fired fast: "don't tell Scott" What TCPA's nursing home model is teaching Your Health about patient frequency, hospitalizations, and what actually works Why the chaplain conversation changed Scott's entire philosophy — and how advanced care planning pays for it The system doesn't need more rules. It needs more people willing to ask. Listen now and ask yourself: what rule in your organization did somebody just make up? www.YourHealth.Org

Most companies recruit interns to take work off someone's plate. Your Health does the opposite — and it's why several of its current executives, including a Chief Information Officer, first walked in the door as interns. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Heather Bower, Director of Experiential Learning, who has taken the reins of Your Health's internship, mentorship, preceptorship, and apprenticeship programs. Heather shares how a long-standing program is being rebuilt with structure, data, and intention — organized into semester cohorts, anchored by a four-day all-company orientation, and designed so every intern owns a project with genuine stakes. In this conversation, you'll hear: Why "get interns because they're cheap" is exactly the wrong spirit — and what replaces it How one MBA intern's shadowing experience redirected him toward nursing school The "spreadsheet whisperer" intern who taught regional leadership to pull data faster What surprises interns most once they're inside healthcare: the human complexity How Your Health uses feedback loops to move interns toward roles where they'll actually shine If you're early in your career and unsure where you fit, this episode is a map to possibilities you may not know exist.

What if the patient you discharged three years ago is still costing you money today? In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott Middleton pulls back the curtain on the mechanics of value-based care most providers never see — and the merger bringing it all into focus. With the July 15th closing date approaching, Scott walks through what the merger of Your Health with TCPA and Providence Care actually means on the ground: new contracts, new provider numbers, a reimbursement model built on RAF scores and revenue rather than guesswork, and a technology stack — from the Clini app to QR-coded patient wristbands — designed to capture what was previously left on the table. In this episode: Why patient attribution under value-based contracts follows you for years — and what hospice discharges are really costing the organization How the new bonus structure ties pay to billing, RAF scores, and quality measures (and why you can never be paid to put someone on hospice) The difference between care management, facilitated visits, and what providers have been under-billing all along How skilled nursing facilities became the highest-leverage opportunity in the entire model Why advanced care plans aren't just clinical — they're a 30% income increase hiding in plain sight If you've ever wondered why the "why" behind a process matters more than the process itself, this episode is the answer.

What if the most important care in the entire healthcare system is also the most underfunded? While hospitals and inpatient reimbursements rise with inflation, the physician fee schedule has quietly declined roughly 33% in real terms over 25 years — and this year it's facing another cut. In this episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Your Health CEO Matt Staub, just back from Capitol Hill, where he spent a record-setting 95-degree day meeting with seven legislative offices to advocate for physicians, providers, and the patients they serve across rural South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond. What follows is part field report, part reflection on why preventive primary care saves money and lives — and why we plan meticulously for weddings, retirement, and vacations, but treat our own health with a "call us if something happens" approach. In this conversation: Why a 2.5–5% physician fee cut hits frontline rural practices hardest The bipartisan doctors' caucus and the real appetite for reform Why winning can come from a loss — the Kobe Bryant mindset on process over outcome How a Disney ride (Spaceship Earth) reframes humanity's whole story around communication The case for proactive, team-based primary care over reactive sick visits Press play for a conversation about advocacy, communication, and a simple, powerful idea: the change you need to make starts with you.

What if your healthcare team already knew what happened during your hospital stay — before you even explained it? What if someone on your care team noticed you were struggling on a Saturday and simply showed up? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Christopher Laffey, Nurse Practitioner at Your Health, to break down what a truly connected, proactive model of care actually looks like when it's working. Christopher practices in North Charleston, SC, where his team — nurses, therapists, social workers, community health workers, and more — functions less like a traditional office practice and more like a living, breathing safety net woven around each patient's real life. What you'll hear in this episode: Why most patients are failing not because nobody cares, but because the system itself is fragmented — and what doing it differently actually looks like on a Tuesday morning The real difference between "patient-centered" as a marketing phrase and patient-centered as a daily practice (hint: it involves seeing the medication bottles on the kitchen table) A powerful real-life story of a bedbound patient whose caregiver suddenly disappeared — and how the team mobilized over a weekend, on their own time, to prevent a hospitalization The single mindset shift every clinician needs to make the transition from visit-based thinking to longitudinal care Why "value-based care" doesn't mean discounted care — it means the organization is accountable for your outcomes, not just your appointments If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling more confused than when you walked in, this episode will show you what healthcare can feel like when it's actually designed around you. www.YourHealth.Org

What if every "non-compliant" patient was actually a signal that the system isn't working for them? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Jaclyn Taylor, Clinical Strategy Director at Your Health and a nurse practitioner who started her career as a home-based provider in 2020 — thrown straight into the fire of COVID, isolated patients, and a healthcare world rewriting itself in real time. What she saw inside patients' homes — medications scattered on tables, food insecurity, missing transportation — changed how she thinks about every chart she's ever read. You'll hear: Why a nurse-first pathway gives nurse practitioners a fundamentally different lens than a medical school pathway — and why patients feel it What working across home care, telehealth, trauma, and wellness teaches you about treating the whole human, not just the diagnosis Why trauma surgery turned Jacqueline into a believer in proactive, longitudinal care — and what gets missed when we only meet patients after something has already gone wrong The two words she uses to describe what's most broken in traditional healthcare: fragmentation and misalignment How empathy stops being a poster and starts being operational — built into the design of care itself If you've ever felt invisible inside the healthcare system, or if you're the one trying to fix it, this conversation reframes the whole game.

Why Are People Betting On War? Prediction markets were initially built to forecast elections and economic moves but they're now being used to bet on war, political upheaval and global instability. As money flows into these high-stakes wagers, the line between informed forecasting and profiting off real-world consequences has merged into one and is now under investigation.

What if the greatest threat to healthcare isn't a broken system — it's a dehumanized one? In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub wrestle with a deceptively simple idea from Harvard Business School Professor Ryan Buell: service is the business of people helping people. Sparked by Matt's experience at an Athena Health executive leadership forum, this is a conversation about what it truly means to serve — in a world where technology promises to do it faster, cheaper, and at scale. Key topics covered: Why you can never fully take people out of a service industry — and what happens to care quality when you try How ambient listening technology like Mobius is using AI to restore human connection in the exam room, not replace it The ICU nurses who used tough love to get a post-heart-surgery patient walking — and what that story reveals about what genuine service really looks like The "can vs. should" question every healthcare leader must ask before deploying new technology How to show up and serve others with excellence, even on your hardest personal days Healthcare will always evolve — but Matt and Jamie make a compelling case that the human at the center of care is the one thing worth protecting above all else. This one's worth the listen.

Environmental and civil engineer, professional hair braider, public health scholar, and triple HBCU alumna, Nemmi Cole, PhD joins the show to discuss outdoor air quality, warehouses, and respiratory health in California's Inland Empire on the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast.From 1980 to 2021 the number of warehouses and industrial buildings in the Inland Empire grew to 1 Billion Square Feet (1,000,000,000 SQ FT). Nearly 40% of all goods and products coming into the U.S travel on trucks through or sit in warehouses within San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. In 2024, the 5 most polluted cities in the entire nation were within the Inland Empire including Ontario and San Bernardino. Children and adults living in these communities have the highest rates of asthma, lung disease, and COPD in the State of California. Diesel trucks, industrial waste, truck idling, and output of industrial machinery contribute to chemicals in the air such as Sulfur Dioxide, Particulate Matter, Nitrogen Dioxide, and Volatile Organic Compounds. Our guest on the podcast is a native of San Bernardino so her work is personal. On the show Nemmi reminisces and laments the loss of parks and farmland in her community to industrial buildings and warehouses.After completing her PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida A&M University, our guest Dr. Nemmi Cole returned home to join the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California to study the impact of megawarehouses on children's respiratory health outcomes in San Bernardino and Riverside County. Jasmine and Nemmi bonded over their shared passion for how neighborhood design shapes our mental and physical health.

America spends nearly double what the fourth-ranked country spends on healthcare per capita — and still ranks among the worst in outcomes. So what exactly are we paying for? In this episode of the Experiencing Healthcare Podcast, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub examine what happens when healthcare gets treated like gasoline: something people expect to be available, can't easily compare on quality, and ultimately choose based on price or convenience. When brand and price stop mattering, the only differentiator left is how patients are made to feel — and whether they trust the person across from them enough to actually change. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Matt ranks service above outcomes and access — and the patient story that changed how he thinks about both The "Chick-fil-A problem": how your healthcare experience is now being compared to your best service experience anywhere, not just the clinic down the street What provider burnout really looks like when a clinician closes their notes at 11pm wondering if their patient listened How insurance billing creates distrust that bleeds directly into the patient-provider relationship — and what healthcare organizations can do about it Why the most caring thing a doctor can do sometimes feels like the worst customer service in the room If you've ever felt like a number in a waiting room — or if you've ever been the one trying to help someone who wouldn't listen — this conversation will stay with you.

What if the most expensive healthcare decisions aren't made in the boardroom — but in the exam room, when the wrong infection gets treated with the wrong antibiotic? In this episode of the Your Health University, Podcast, Jamie sits down with Madison Browning, a registered nurse in urology at Your Health, to talk about what proper urological care actually looks like, why it matters far beyond the individual patient, and how a strong, collaborative provider team is the difference between a patient thriving and a patient stuck in a revolving door of emergency room visits. What you'll hear in this episode: Why getting a UTI diagnosis right the first time has massive implications for patient health and system costs The role nurse practitioners play in specialized urology care — and why their expertise is often underestimated How the team-based model at Your Health empowers every provider to collaborate and deliver better outcomes The direct connection between outpatient urology care and reduced hospital stays, ER visits, and downstream Medicare and tax costs Madison's genuine gratitude for the team around her — and what it looks like when a healthcare culture actually works If you've ever wondered whether the healthcare system could do better — this episode is proof that it already is, one patient at a time. www.YourHealth.Org
