    You Have Health Insurance. But Do You Actually Have Healthcare?

    Having a health insurance card does not guarantee that you can reach a doctor who knows you when you actually need care. In this solo episode, Dr. Clint Carter examines the difference between health insurance and healthcare, from three-week waits for appointments to unnecessary urgent care and emergency room visits when patients simply need timely access to someone who knows their history. He shares how his own frustration with conventional practice and emergency medicine eventually led him to direct primary care and the model he helped build at MyMD Select. For Dr. Carter, the distinction matters: insurance is designed to protect against major medical expenses, while everyday healthcare requires relationships, accessibility, follow-up, prevention, and enough time for patients and providers to make thoughtful decisions together. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why being insured does not necessarily give you timely access to a provider who knows your history, understands your concerns, and can help you decide what to do next How direct primary care uses a membership model to create more accessible, relationship-based care with longer visits, ongoing communication, and greater continuity Why employers and employees may benefit from separating insurance for major expenses from accessible primary care for routine illnesses, chronic conditions, prevention, and everyday medical questions This episode is for patients who have health insurance but still struggle to access timely primary care, employers looking for ways to make healthcare benefits more useful to their teams, and anyone curious about how direct primary care differs from the conventional insurance-based model. - - - - - About the Host: 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. - - - - - Social Handles: Website: https://mymdselect.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tylertxmymdselectYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@MyMDSelectTylerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymdselect/ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

    Do Normal Labs Mean Normal Health?

    I break down why “normal” lab results do not always explain how you feel. We discuss the limits of standard testing, why trends and symptoms matter, and how sleep, metabolic health, hormones, lifestyle, and body composition can add context. I also explain why longer, more personalized primary care visits can help connect the numbers to the person. - - - - - Dr. Clint Carter, MD, is a board-certified physician, founder of MyMD Select, and the host of MyMD Unscripted. With a background in emergency and family medicine, Dr. Carter is dedicated to fixing broken healthcare models through personalized, direct primary care.

    Why High Performers Are Still Burned Out — And What They're Missing

    High performers are often very good at pushing through fatigue. The harder question is whether the body is actually recovering from everything being asked of it. Dr. Erika Schultz, DACM, ACN, is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, functional nutrition expert, and founder of The Resiliency Method. In this conversation with Dr. Clint Carter, she explains why diet, exercise, discipline, and productivity may still leave important pieces of recovery unaddressed. They discuss the highly activated nervous system common among driven people, why the ability to shift into a restorative state matters, and how her approach uses a sequence rather than isolated protocols to decide what to address first. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why the traits that help high performers stay productive can also make it difficult to recognize when their capacity for recovery is falling behind How nervous system regulation, mitochondrial function, sleep, and recovery fit into a broader picture of fatigue and burnout beyond diet and exercise alone Why Dr. Schultz believes people who have plateaued after supplements, cleanses, or other functional approaches may benefit from addressing health patterns in a more deliberate sequence This episode is for… high performers, professionals, caregivers, and other driven people who are doing a lot for their health but still feel tired, burned out, hormonally off, or unable to recover as well as they once did. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Erika Schultz holds a Doctorate in Chinese Medicine and is a Certified Applied Clinical Nutritionist whose own experience with chronic illness shaped the development of The Resiliency Method™. After navigating autoimmune conditions, endometriosis, seizures, and hormonal imbalances, she created an approach that combines Chinese medicine with functional medicine and emphasizes nervous system restoration, resilience, and adaptability. Based in Denver, she leads a team of health coaches and works with clients nationwide to move beyond symptom management and support long-term health and vitality. - - - - - Social Handles: Website: https://paramountwell.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-erika-schultz-lac-dacm-acn-9167bb4/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paramountwellness/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@paramountwellness3529 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5t7dgakM87p66MU0O2qmvE?si=b38485eec42c4619 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/the-resiliency-method-the-truth-about-healing-podcast/id1885534318 - - - - - MyMD Unscripted YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MyMDSelectTyler⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mymdselect.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/tylertxmymdselect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mymdselect/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

    From Three Countries to One Conclusion: Medicine Has Forgotten the Basics

    I sit down with Dr. Christina Paul to discuss what practicing across England, Canada, and the United States taught her about modern healthcare. We examine why all three systems handle acute illness well yet often miss prevention, early body signals, and the lifestyle foundations that shape health. Dr. Paul also explains why listening to your body, asking more complete questions, and building sustainable habits can support a longer health span. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Christina Paul is a board-certified internal medicine physician who attended medical school and began her training in England before returning to Canada for internal medicine residency and fellowship training. She later moved to the United States, giving her experience across three differently structured healthcare systems.

    Why Better Relationships, Not Better Prescriptions, Drive Better Outcomes

    I sit down with Dr. Hussain Khimji to examine why lasting health change begins with the relationship between a patient and physician. We discuss how active listening builds trust, why patients need ownership of their care, and how identity, self-worth, and self-compassion influence behavior. Dr. Khimji also shares practical ways physicians can make short visits more patient-centered and how patients can prepare to advocate for what matters most. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Hussain Khimji, MD, is a triple board-certified physician in Lifestyle, Obesity, and Family Medicine, here to prevent chronic disease and optimize wellbeing by chasing progress over perfection. But more than that, he is a "fellow-human-in-progress" committed to walking the same path toward optimal health and meaningful living alongside his patients. - - - - - Social Handles: Website: https://doctorkhimji.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorkhimji/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Hussain-Khimji/61553757665173/ - - - - - MyMD Unscripted YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MyMDSelectTyler⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mymdselect.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/tylertxmymdselect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mymdselect/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

    What If Your Doctor Is Wrong About Health?

    In this episode of MyMD Unscripted, I sit down with Dr. Warren Willey to challenge some of the biggest assumptions in modern healthcare. From his childhood spent on countless medications to decades practicing osteopathic medicine, we discuss why personalized nutrition, movement, hormone health, and individualized care often succeed where conventional approaches fall short—and why getting healthy may require asking better questions than we've been taught to ask. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Warren Willey is a physician and early pioneer in functional and lifestyle medicine, with decades of experience integrating nutrition, exercise, hormone optimization, and advanced diagnostics into patient care.

    In this episode of MyMD Unscripted, Tracy Spiaggia joins me for a conversation that goes beyond medicine and asks an important question: Why hasn't the Church become a leader in restoring health?
