Feeling burned out from trading your time and energy for a paycheck can push you to rethink what success really looks like. In this episode, we’re joined by our favorite savvy physician, Dr. Disha Spath, to talk about pivoting from burnout in insurance-based primary care to launching a direct primary care (DPC) clinic. Dr. Disha shares how reflecting on her purpose led her to recommit to being a primary care doctor while confronting a scarcity mindset and financially preparing for a startup phase marked by limited income, student loans, and marketing demands. She breaks down DPC using a Netflix vs. Blockbuster analogy. The conversation also explores concerns about two-tier care, New York’s DPC legal landscape, how patients can still use insurance for labs, specialists, and surgeries, and her new patient-facing podcast aimed at combating health misinformation.
