The Future of Medicine Podcast

Aaron Wenzel, MD

The average wait time to see a primary care doctor is 19 days. And after waiting nearly 3 weeks to be seen, typical lobby wait times are 1-2 hours. Then, if you're lucky, you'll get 5 minutes with your doctor. People are frustrated and deserve more. This show will give you everything you need for you and your doctor to have meaningful conversations. And, frankly, some of these conversations might just save your life.

    A Women’s Health Expert Shares Insights Into Menopause, Perimenopause, and the Safety of Hormone Therapy

    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 I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Brooke Faught, a Doctor of Nursing Practice who has dedicated her career to women’s sexual and pelvic health. In our previous discussion, we explored women’s sexual wellness and the complexities of low libido. This time, I wanted to dive deeper into another of Brooke’s areas of expertise: safe hormone management for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Brooke brings over two decades of experience to these conversations. As the founder of the Women’s Institute for Sexual Health and current Director of Women’s Health at Pazona MD, she’s witnessed firsthand how the medical community’s approach to hormones has evolved — for better and worse. Her expertise as a certified menopause practitioner through the Menopause Society and her fellowship with the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health give her a unique perspective on critical issues. Beyond her credentials, Brooke’s passionate advocacy for women’s health has led to significant impact in the field through her research, publications, lectures, and even lobbying efforts.

    Longevity Isn’t an Accident: How to Play Offense and Win More Quality Years

    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 Recently, I had the privilege of speaking to a room full of entrepreneurs, creators, and business leaders — people who are relentlessly driven to maximize their potential. They wanted to know how to live longer while living better. We talked about my book, 90 Is the New 60, and I shared my thesis: We’ve entered an age where living into your 90s with the vitality of a 60-year-old is no longer science fiction. If you take ownership of your health. For most of my career, I didn’t believe that was possible. Like many of my colleagues, I was trained in a sick care model — a system designed to prevent quick death, not to optimize for long life. But once I left that system and began working with highly motivated individuals who wanted to invest in their quality of life, I realized I hadn’t been seeing the whole picture.

    Breaking Down Barriers With Brooke Faught: Insights Into Women’s Sexual Wellness and Libido

    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 As a physician, I’ve witnessed firsthand how certain aspects of women’s health remain shrouded in silence. Too often, I’ve sat across from a patient struggling to voice concerns about sexual health, libido, or menopause-related symptoms. And for years, I felt woefully unprepared to address these conversations with the depth and expertise they deserved. That’s precisely why I was thrilled to sit down with Brooke Faught, a Doctor of Nursing Practice who has dedicated over two decades to transforming women’s sexual and pelvic health.

    The End of Passive Healthcare: How Self-Advocacy Is Your Best Investment in Longevity

    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’ve reached the end of sitting back and waiting for a doctor to tell us how to be healthy. If you want a shot at a long and vibrant life, you have to take ownership of your health now — not when something breaks. The patients I see making the most meaningful progress are those who are loudest about their own goals, values, and ambitions. They don’t outsource responsibility. They show up with intention and curiosity, and they build a team that’s aligned with where they’re going. That kind of alignment matters. When you and your doctor are working in sync — thinking ahead, chasing the right targets, checking the right markers — you get a frictionless partnership with a high likelihood of great outcomes. Because here’s the truth: Passive, reactionary medicine is no longer good enough. You need an offensive mindset. You need a team that’s on board. And, in a system that’s more sick care than health care, you need to self-advocate.

    ‘90 Is the New 60’: Why I Wrote It, Who It’s for, and What I Hope This Book Will Accomplish

    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 I’ve spent nearly two decades as a physician observing patterns, gathering insights, and developing convictions about what’s truly possible for human health and longevity. This journey culminated in my new book, 90 Is the New 60: A Physician’s Guide to Feeling Great and Living a Long Time. What if we could add not just years to our lives, but decades of vibrant, purposeful living? What if the decline we commonly associate with aging isn’t inevitable but optional? These are the questions that drove me to write 90 Is the New 60 — because after all my experience, I truly believe that with the right knowledge, adding decades of vibrant living to the back half of life is a legitimate option for many, many people.

    Beyond the Surface: A Dermatologist’s Thoughts on Aging Skin and Lasting Skin Health

    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 As we age, our skin begins to reflect more than just our years. It often tells a story of our lifestyle, sun exposure, and even internal imbalances. At Brentwood MD, we often hear from members who want to know how to care for their skin as they get older. But they want more than just a list of creams; they want to understand what actually works, what’s worth their time and money, and what aligns with a more comprehensive view of health. I sat down with Dr. Brooke Eastham, a respected dermatologist at Nashville Skin, to get her take. After discussing skin cancer prevention, our talk turned to skin aging and what we can do about it. I appreciated both Dr. Eastham’s depth of knowledge and her ability to cut through the noise to simplify skincare in a way that truly empowers patients.

Subscribe and explore: https://youtube.com/@BrentwoodMD The skin tells a story. Every freckle, mole, and mark represents years of exposure to the elements, genetics at work, and the body’s remarkable ability to protect itself. Yet for all its resilience, our skin remains vulnerable to conditions that can significantly impact our health and quality of life. Understanding how to protect and care for this vital organ is just as important as caring for our internal biological landscape. Dr. Brooke Eastham, a respected colleague I’ve known since medical school, brings over a decade of dermatological expertise to this conversation.

Of the top 10 killers of human beings, you can take steps toward delaying, preventing, or overcoming most of them.
