Subscribe and explore: https://youtube.com/@BrentwoodMD Both now and in the past, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people achieve optimal health. Few areas of medicine have captured my attention and passion more than metabolic health. Over the years, Jen (Brentwood’s nurse practitioner extraordinaire) and I have worked with hundreds of patients struggling with weight issues, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Addressing these is a deeply personal and often frustrating journey. And no two stories are exactly alike. In this episode of the Future of Medicine podcast, I want to share three powerful weight loss case studies — including my own personal experience. Each is unique, but the lessons they offer are universal. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain fed up with the weight loss roller coaster, these stories might provide the inspiration or insight you need.

    The Longevity Mindset: Add Decades to Your Life and Feel Good Doing It

    The Future of Medicine Podcast, where we believe in promoting overall health and prevention over just treating sickness. Join us for the latest in medical advancements and expert advice. Subscribe and explore: https://youtube.com/@BrentwoodMD We all juggle countless worries every day. But when one of them is your health, you really only have one worry. Optimal health is elusive when pursued within our current sick care system. Many experience a slow, reactive, and one-size-fits-all approach because the system’s incentives are misaligned. Its infrastructure and economic backing are built around disease management, not disease prevention. Years ago, I left the conventional system to practice medicine in the concierge model, where my team and I answer only to our members — not insurance companies, big hospital systems, or anyone besides the person we’re serving. We aim to provide the structure and support for members to achieve health goals as ambitious as their professional and personal aspirations. In this episode of the Future of Medicine podcast, I’ll cover some of the key areas that everyone should be thinking about and focus on a mental paradigm shift away from the current sick care model.

    How Perfectionism Fuels Shame in High-Achievers and How to Break Free From the Cycle

    The Future of Medicine Podcast, where we believe in promoting overall health and prevention over just treating sickness. Join us for the latest in medical advancements and expert advice. Subscribe and explore: https://youtube.com/@BrentwoodMD High-achieving individuals tend to struggle with perfectionism — with striving to achieve an ideal outcome in everything all the time. And what’s wrong with that? Shouldn’t perfection be the standard we aim for? Though perfection feels like a reasonable and right goal, it simply doesn’t match what we find in reality. At best, perfection is a fantasy. At worst, it’s a delusion. And in either case, when we fail to reach that supreme standard, the result is shame and frustration. In this podcast, I want to talk about the connection between perfectionism and shame, how it affects high-achievers in particular, and what you can do to free yourself from the cycle.
