If more Americans regularly saw primary care doctors, many lives–and billions of dollars–could be saved.  The preventative care they provide is crucial as a foundation to the entire health care system.  Yet, the fee-for-service model is an inefficient one and should be replaced by a value-based approach, according to Dr. Troyen Brennan and adjunct professor of health policy and management at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health and the author of “Wonderful and Broken: The Complex Reality of Primary Care in the United States.”  He goes on to explain the value-based model in our podcast and forecasts a movement in that direction in the coming years.  And he pays great homage to primary care physicians in the book while recognizing that they are underpaid, overworked, and often incentivized to move into higher-paying specialties while patients face provider shortages and many live in ever-growing primary-care deserts.

On this ENCORE of our most popular episode of 2025, hosts Dr. Mojola Omole and Dr. Blair Bigham speak with two authors of the latest “Hypertension Canada guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in adults in primary care”The discussion reflects a shared urgency: despite past successes, Canada's hypertension control rates are declining. The new guidelines aim to reverse this trend by simplifying diagnosis and treatment for frontline clinicians.Dr. Rémi Goupil, a nephrologist and clinician researcher at Sacré-Cœur Hospital in Montreal, and Dr. Greg Hundemer, a nephrologist and clinician scientist at The Ottawa Hospital, explain that the updated guideline is deliberately designed for primary care providers. They highlight key shifts: lowering the diagnostic threshold for hypertension to  ≥ 130/80 mm Hg, simplifying blood pressure targets, and emphasizing accurate, standardized measurement techniques both in clinic and at home. The guidelines were created with input from a majority-primary care committee—including family physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and patient partners—to ensure clinical applicability.Together, the panel outlines a streamlined nine-step treatment algorithm, emphasizing combination therapy as first-line pharmacologic management. They explain the evidence supporting ARB–thiazide combinations, discuss cost considerations for drug selection, and address adherence challenges. They also explore red flags for secondary hypertension and how the algorithm supports—but does not replace—clinical judgment.For physicians, this guideline offers a clear and practical roadmap: measure blood pressure correctly, aim for systolic pressure below 130 mm Hg, and use the simplified treatment sequence to improve adherence and outcomes. Designed to be easy to implement, the new approach aims to empower primary care providers to act with confidenceComments or questions?

“People are not looking for a perfect, polished answer. They're looking for a human to speak to them like a human,” says Jessica Malaty Rivera, an infectious disease epidemiologist and one of the most trusted science communicators in the U.S. to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. That philosophy explains her relatable, judgement-free approach to communications which aims to make science more human, more accessible and less institutional. In this wide-ranging Raise the Line discussion, host Lindsey Smith taps Rivera's expertise on how to elevate science understanding, build public trust, and equip people to recognize disinformation. She is also keen to help people understand the nuances of misinformation -- which she is careful to define – and the emotional drivers behind it in order to contain the “infodemics” that complicate battling epidemics and other public health threats. It's a thoughtful call to educate the general public about the science of information as well as the science behind medicine. Tune in for Rivera's take on the promise and peril of AI-generated content, why clinicians should see communication as part of their professional responsibility, and how to prepare children to navigate an increasingly complex information ecosystem.Mentioned in this episode:de Beaumont Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

“Delivering a baby one day and holding a patient's hand at the end of life literally the next day...that continuity is very powerful,” says Dr. Jen Brull, board chair of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). And as she points out, that continuity also builds trust with patients, an increasingly valuable commodity when faith in medicine and science is declining. As you might expect given her role, Dr. Brull believes strengthening family medicine is the key to improving health and healthcare. Exactly how to do that is at the heart of her conversation with host Lindsey Smith on this episode of Raise the Line, which covers ideas for payment reform, reducing administrative burdens, and stronger support for physician well-being. And with a projected shortage of nearly forty thousand primary care physicians, Dr. Brull also shares details on AAFP's “Be There First” initiative which is designed to attract service-minded medical students – whom she describes as family physicians at heart -- early in their educational journey. “I have great hope that increasing the number of these service-first medical students will fill part of this gap.”Tune-in for an informative look at a cornerstone of the healthcare system and what it means to communities of all sizes throughout the nation.  Mentioned in this episode:AAFP If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

If you're over 60 and using GLP-1 medications like Wegovy or Zepbound, this episode could save your independence. In this episode, I reveal the hidden danger of rapid weight loss without muscle protection—and the simple strategies that keep you strong, steady, and mobile as the pounds come off. GLP-1 medications are transforming weight loss for older adults managing diabetes, high blood pressure, and joint pain. But there's a critical piece most people miss: sarcopenia. This age-related muscle loss accelerates during weight loss, putting you at risk for falls, fractures, and losing the strength you need for daily activities. Tune in to learn how to lose weight safely while protecting the muscle that keeps you independent—and why strength training, protein intake, and staying active aren't optional on this journey.   Episode Highlights: Why GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound are game-changers for adults 60+ The connection between muscle loss, falls, fractures, and loss of independence How sarcopenia affects metabolism, blood sugar control, and bone health Protein requirements for older adults (25-30 grams per meal) Simple strength training routines you can do at home—no gym required Red flags that muscle loss is happening too fast Real patient story: turning weakness into strength on a GLP-1 journey   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd   About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

“This is a time to reimagine public health and public health/healthcare system integration,” says Dr. Deb Houry, the former chief medical officer for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In this thoughtful Raise the Line conversation, Dr. Houry reflects on unprecedented federal action in vaccine guidance and other issues since her noteworthy resignation from the CDC in August, and sees a more decentralized landscape emerging where states and localities play a larger role in providing public health recommendations. And while she acknowledges upsides to this shift, she's also concerned what the absence of a national consensus on health standards could mean. “Diseases don't recognize borders, and it's also important that people have equitable access to preventative services, vaccines, and other things,” she tells host Lindsey Smith. Tune in for Dr. Houry's seasoned perspective on this consequential moment in public health, and her encouraging message for learners and early career providers considering a career in the sector.Mentioned in this episode:DH Leadership & Strategy Solutions If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In this electrifying episode of the Will Power Podcast, we break down a historic legislative victory in Utah that designated Physical Therapists as primary care providers for all musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders—the first state in the nation to do so!Our guest, Brad Powell, Physical Therapist, entrepreneur, and host of "The Healthcare Revolution" podcast, was a key changemaker in this movement. He shares his incredible journey—from recovering from severe motocross injuries to leading the charge to elevate the physical therapy profession.Brad reveals the detailed strategies used to achieve this legislative success, overcome internal professional resistance, and build a thriving, mission-driven private practice, Foundation Physical Therapy.This is more than just a legislative update, it's a call to action for all physical therapists, occupational therapists (OT), and speech-language pathologists (SLP) to claim their rightful roles as doctors in the community and musculoskeletal leaders. Learn how embracing your value can create a profitable practice and change patients' lives on a greater scale.Key Takeaways from This EpisodeThe Utah Law: Learn the details of the groundbreaking bill that designates PTs as the initial point of entry for MSK disorders, effectively establishing them as primary care providers in this domain. Reclaiming PT's Role: Why physical therapists are uniquely positioned to lead the musculoskeletal industry and how this change benefits patients by avoiding unnecessary delays and costs. Overcoming Resistance: Brad discusses the challenge of getting buy-in, noting that the most resistance often came from within the physical therapy profession itself. Diagnostic Accuracy: Brad cites research showing PTs are highly accurate in diagnosing MSK conditions, nearly matching orthopedic surgeons, making a compelling case for Direct Access and primary care status. The Future is Prevention (Medicine 3.0): The shift towards focusing on prevention and longevity, where PTs play a critical role in proactive health management. Building a World-Class Practice: Strategies for scaling a practice, including creating internal growth pathways (Master Clinician, Clinic Director), unlimited C/E budgeting, and an employee NPS of 9.2. The Power of Serving: How focusing on genuinely serving people and creating an "attractive" company culture is the ultimate recruiting and marketing strategy. If you are a PT, OT, or SLP passionate about the future of your profession, share this episode on your social media and with your colleagues!
