If you have between 3,000 and 5,000 patients per year and would like to learn how to add $100K to your practice with less than 30 minutes per day by a member of your staff, this is for you.

I am offering a free introductory virtual seminar on Saturday, October 12th at 10:30 AM EST.

We are collectively witnessing the erosion of healthcare quality, reducing it to, at best, sick care.

Despite the best intentions, physicians are doing their utmost to meet the increasingly difficult challenges posed by the declining health of a growing percentage of the population, which either ignores or cannot afford better lifestyle choices.

Cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and many cancers can have their severity mitigated by simple lifestyle choices. These require a focused effort in education and incentives, combined with concerted actions by entities that have the power to make a difference.

I have been passionately advocating for preventive health for the past 30 years—a lonely journey until now. Finally, I am in a position to offer real solutions to both practices and their patients.

With the advent of new technologies that are proving to be accurate and affordable, physicians can now offer tangible services that patients can understand and act upon.

Concierge doctors who practice Functional Medicine and are not dependent on insurance can offer their patients a higher-quality experience, particularly in terms of time, understanding, and building a relationship with the patient. Without the limitations of time and patient quotas, doctors can more easily build rapport and help educate their patients.

How can this be done?

One key approach is understanding that oxidative stress, pain, and inflammation are interconnected. Therefore, antioxidants become important tools to mitigate these issues.

On PubMed.gov, there are over 900,000 studies on inflammation and over 70,000 studies on inflammation and antioxidants. Granted, many of these studies may not be relevant due to testing methods, but there is ample evidence that what seems obvious is not always readily embraced, particularly because it falls outside the traditional wheelhouse of allopathic, pharmaceutical-based medicine.

Historically, tests have been invasive, painful, expensive, and time-consuming. However, there are now ways to test non-invasively, in real-time, at minimal cost, and offer measurable results in as little as 60 days.

Moreover, when patients pay out of pocket—even as little as the equivalent of a cup of coffee each day—they may be more compliant and invested in their care, rather than relying on insurance as a crutch.

In conclusion, we face many issues in our healthcare industry. If you are a healthcare provider, you know the struggles of being in the trenches. We fight every day to practice ethically while maintaining mental peace regarding our health and wealth. We have experienced and witnessed the burnout that comes with practicing medicine.

In this article, we have attempted to ask you a question to gauge your readiness to take the first step in thinking outside the box. We offer a dedicated monthly podcast for providers who want to explore innovative solutions. The purpose of the podcast is to discuss and offer solutions that benefit both our patients and our doctors.

We must collectively work together to improve the health and wealth of our community. It's important to stay motivated and think long-term. We invite you to take that first step and think outside the box, join us for this monthly podcast.

If you have any questions, please post them below, and we will do our best to address them during the podcast which will take place in the first or second week of each month.

We look forward to going on this journey with you as we explore new ways of thinking and help each other achieve a state where attaining improved health for the patient and better satisfaction for the provider.
