    HSA + Direct Primary Care: A Rare Win for Patients

    A 2026 rule change now allows HSAs to pay for direct primary care—making healthcare more affordable, personal, and preventive than ever. In this episode of MyMD Unscripted, I break down a major but overlooked healthcare rule change: HSAs can now be used to pay for direct primary care memberships. We explore why this matters, how high-deductible plans pair perfectly with DPC, and how this shift helps patients spend pre-tax dollars on real, relationship-based care that prioritizes prevention and wellness. Dr. Clint Carter is the founder of MyMD Select and the host of MyMD Unscripted. After nearly a decade of burnout in the ER, he chose a different path—one that put patients, not insurance, at the center of care. Alongside his wife Stephanie, Clint has built a thriving direct primary care practice in Tyler, Texas, offering functional medicine, hormone optimization, and wellness services rooted in accessibility and faith. His mission is to create a better way forward for both patients and providers—one built on time, trust, and purpose.

    Healing Eczema from the Inside Out: A Mom’s Mission to End the Itch

    A mother shares how nutrition, gut healing, and environmental changes helped her children overcome severe eczema when conventional care failed. In this episode of MyMD Unscripted, we talk with Andrea McHugh about her journey as a mother navigating severe childhood eczema when conventional medicine offered only symptom management. She shares how gut health, nutrient-dense food, herbal skin care, and reducing environmental stressors helped her children heal—and how those same principles now guide families seeking real relief and food freedom. Andrea McHugh is the founder of Eczema Kids, host of the Eczema Kids Podcast, and a mother of four. She helps families reverse childhood eczema naturally by addressing its true drivers—gut dysfunction, immune overload, and toxic environmental exposures. After two of her children developed severe, life-altering eczema, Andrea immersed herself in root-cause healing when prescriptions and elimination diets failed to deliver lasting results. That journey led her to create the Eczema Elimination Method, a step-by-step system now used by hundreds of families worldwide to restore calm skin and confidence—without steroids, confusion, or shame. In addition to her educational work, Andrea runs a full line of eczema-safe skincare, including tallow-based healing creams, herbal oils, and mineral sunscreen. Through her podcast and programs, she shares practical, real-world solutions for parents ready to get their children off the inflammation hamster wheel and back to thriving.

    Genetic Testing: The Missing Link to Truly Personalized, Proactive Healthcare

    A former ICU PA shares how genetic testing reveals root causes of fatigue, inflammation, mental health struggles, and why “normal labs” miss the truth. In this episode of MyMD Unscripted, I sit down with physician assistant and Well Again founder, Lyndsey Perrin, to explore how genetic testing is transforming preventive and personalized medicine. We talk about her transition from ICU burnout to functional care, why “normal labs” fail so many patients, and how understanding genetic weak links helps explain fatigue, inflammation, mental health struggles, and stalled healing. This conversation reframes wellness, removes self-blame, and shows what true personalization can look like. Lyndsey Perrin, PA-C, is a board-certified Physician Associate and the founder of Well Again, a medical wellness practice built on a genetics-first, personalized approach to care. After years working in hospital and ICU medicine, Lyndsey saw firsthand how reactive, symptom-focused healthcare often leaves patients—especially women—feeling overlooked, dismissed, and without real answers. She launched Well Again to change that model. Today, Lyndsey leads a growing, multidisciplinary team dedicated to helping patients understand their unique biology through DNA-based insights, comprehensive lab testing, and whole-person evaluation. Her practice focuses on uncovering root causes, simplifying complex genetic data, and creating actionable, science-backed wellness plans that empower patients to take ownership of their health. Through her work, Lyndsey helps women break free from persistent symptoms, restore confidence in their bodies, and move toward long-term health transformation—without band-aid solutions. Her mission is to make proactive, personalized medicine accessible, understandable, and truly life-changing.
