My approach to healthcare has changed a lot over the years. In this episode, I talk through what shaped it and why it works better for my patients and coaching clients.

My approach to healthcare has changed a lot in the past few years. I used to think the goal was to collect more data, order more tests, and be as thorough as possible every time. Over time, I realized that people do better when we simplify. When we slow down. When we focus on the small daily choices that actually move their health forward.

In this episode, I talk through how I practice medicine now and how I guide my coaching clients. I explain why I focus on long-term habits, why I avoid fear-based health decisions, and why clarity matters more than the number of tests on a lab panel. I also share how I help people separate real health improvements from all the noise online.

My goal is to offer a calmer and more practical way of thinking about health. I want you to understand your body, make fewer reactive decisions, and build a plan that feels sustainable.

People absorb so much health information that it becomes hard to tell what is true. In this episode, I break down the five misconceptions I correct most often.

I see the same health misconceptions over and over in my coaching calls and medical visits. They are not silly mistakes. They are understandable confusions that come from mixed messages, outdated advice, and overly complicated online content. I wanted to record an episode that clears up the most common ones.

In this episode, I talk through the top five misconceptions I see most often. I explain where each one comes from, why it sounds believable, and what the evidence actually shows. I also share how these misunderstandings affect people's health decisions, their stress levels, and the progress they make.

My goal is to make things easier. When you have a clearer understanding of how the body works, your decisions feel calmer, and your habits become more purposeful.

People get overwhelmed by long lists of screening tests. In this episode, I explain how I decide what actually matters.

People ask me all the time which screening tests they should get. Most of the confusion comes from long lists online or mixed messages from different doctors. I want to simplify this. Screening should be clear, predictable, and tied to real health outcomes.

In this episode, I explain how I think about screening and why more testing is not always better. I talk about the difference between a test that finds disease early and a test that simply creates anxiety. I also share the framework I use with my own patients and coaching clients so they understand which tests matter at each age.

I walk through the most common screening categories. These include cancer screening, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, bone health, and a few specialty tests people often ask about. I also explain when a test adds value and when it is unlikely to change anything about your long-term health.

My goal is to help you spend less time confused and more time confident in your health decisions.
