    Sparks Start Fires and a lot more, with Julie Gunther MD

    Sparks Start Fires and a lot more, with Julie Gunther MD. If you're a physician and thinking maybe now is the time to break free of the old system, here's your show. One of your peers felt the same way and did something about it. You can learn from her too.

    For the rest of us, here's yet one more reason why Direct Primary Care is so beneficial to overall health and wellness. Besides, don't you want a doctor who is happy? 

    Dr. Julie is a graduate of Boise High School, Harvard University, and the University of Washington School of Medicine. She has spoken, provided content or been featured in Forbes, NPR, Bloomberg News, Medical Economics, Physician Practice, Reason TV, KevinMD, The Idaho Statesman, The Idaho Business Review, Greenbelt Magazine among many other forums.

    She enjoys motivational speaking, telling authentic stories and empowering physicians and individuals to think differently about how we care for ourselves and for each other.  

    (Note: As soon as he saw she is a motivational speaker, Hunter knew she had to be on the show. His father was too. Then he found out her maiden name is Schultz. Simply cosmic.)

    Rare Diseases: An Igniter Conversation with Candace Lerman

    Rare Diseases: An Igniter Conversation with Candace Lerman

    Rare diseases are a passion for Candace Lerman. She doesn't let it define her either. She defines it through her social media outreach and website. It's an inspirational story too. From sitting in a hospital bed trying to spell her rare blood disorder, to successfully re-purposing a drug not FDA approved to treat Immune Thrombocytopenia or ITP. (Go ahead, try to pronounce it.)   

    Her path forward evolved into becoming a rare disease warrior and helping others.   There's more to her story, of course. There always is. 

    There may be another positive development here for all rare disease patients. All because she decided to make a positive difference.

    What's 4th Trimester Care? Vida Family DPC's Dr Rebecca Berens explains

    What's 4th Trimester Care? Vida Family DPC's Dr Rebecca Berens explains

    What's 4th trimester care? Hunter hadn't a clue, but he knew of someone to ask. Dr. Rebecca Berens of Vida Family DPC joined him for the scoop on that time between birth and 12 weeks postpartum. 

    Aside from babies popping out, and wanting to go right back in, there's a lot more to postpartum than meets the eye. There's still a lot of connecting going on. Women and their families experience substantial changes. From emotional to social to physiological. It's more complex and the old system can't handle it.

    Enter Direct Primary Care (DPC) and its enabling care model. 

    Dr. Berens explains how and why this is important and not just for women either.

    Who Will Pay for the Coronavirus Pandemic?

    Who Will Pay for the Coronavirus Pandemic?

    Who will pay for the Coronavirus pandemic? China? Dream on, Bullwinkle. More like taxpayers. But as Hunter explains, there’s some good news within that larger picture. The money is there to pay for it, though it requires thinking different about our healthcare system. There’s a lot of cost savings on the table.

    A CIA Officer, a comedy writer, a New York Times Editor, and a Tonight Show Talent Coordinator walk into a bar.

    A CIA Officer, a comedy writer, a New York Times Editor, and a Tonight Show Talent Coordinator walk into a bar.

    A CIA Officer, a comedy writer, a New York Times Editor, and a Tonight Show Talent Coordinator walk into a bar. Actually, it’s William Katz of Urgentagenda.com who wandered into the dining room and sat down with Hunter.   

    They discuss the current state of media in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. How information is reported, and what shapes our “news feeds.” There’s a lack of editors out there and we’re forced to become our own.   

    Along the way, Bill recaps a bit about his careers including his time as a Tonight Show Talent Coordinator, a comedy writer for Bob Newhart, and a New York Times editor.   

    His experience with the CIA is another revealing insider look on how we use information, and disinformation.
