You Don’t Need More Restrictions, You Need a Plan That Fits Your Life - Talk with Julia Holden

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 08:44:49 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Julia Holden, a functional medicine-certified health coach and personal trainer, and founder of Holden Lifestyle Health. After leaving a decade-long career in corporate healthcare marketing, Julia transitioned to functional medicine health coaching to help people achieve optimal health without feeling forced into restrictive diets or workout routines. She discusses the importance of building healthy habits around positive associations, the foundational pillars of lifestyle modification, and how combining functional coaching with personal training yields the best results.

Key Takeaways:

Ditching the Forced Fitness Mindset: Going to the gym just to look good for a vacation isn't sustainable. Julia helps clients build healthy habits by focusing on activities they genuinely enjoy and feel good about doing consistently.
The Functional Foundation: Before exploring complex medical interventions, it is crucial to optimize modifiable lifestyle factors—sleep, nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and social connection.
Coaching Meets Personal Training: Knowing what to do is only half the battle. Julia recently added personal training to her services to provide safe, targeted workout programming that supports her clients' specific functional health goals.
Empowering the Client: A great health coach listens more than they speak. By getting to know her clients' unique stories and letting them guide the conversation, Julia empowers them to take ownership of their health journey.

From Post-Concussion to Pain-Free: How Physical Therapy Helps.... - Talk with Dr. Cheryl Mitchell

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 08:40:30 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Cheryl Mitchell, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and founder of Inspiration Physical Therapy and Consulting. After suffering a severe workplace concussion that left her with debilitating symptoms for five years due to poor medical advice, Dr. Mitchell dedicated her career to specializing in complex conditions. She discusses her holistic approach to treating post-concussion syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), explaining how specialized physical therapy can relieve chronic pain and restore function when traditional medicine falls short.

Key Takeaways:

Surviving vs. Thriving: If you are still suffering from post-concussion syndrome months or years later, there is still hope. A specialized physical therapist can treat the lingering cognitive, vestibular, and physical impairments.
Understanding Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: EDS is a genetic connective tissue disorder that affects collagen production, leading to hypermobility, joint dislocations, and often POTS. Dr. Mitchell emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis and kinetic chain treatment.
The Whole Kinetic Chain: Treating a single point of pain rarely works long-term. Dr. Mitchell treats the entire body, analyzing movement patterns, compensations, and daily ergonomics to ensure lasting pain relief.

Stop Accepting “That’s Just How It Is” - Talk with Adina Mintz

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 08:34:00 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Adina Mintz, a functional medicine physician assistant and founder of New Jersey Functional Medicine. After 17 years in conventional medicine treating over 50,000 patients, Adina realized the system was relying on band-aid solutions rather than addressing the root causes of illness. She discusses her comprehensive approach to functional medicine, combining critical lifestyle adjustments with detailed functional laboratory testing.

Key Takeaways:

Escaping Medical Gaslighting: Women are frequently told their labs are normal despite suffering from severe symptoms. Adina explains how advanced functional testing, such as hormone cycle mapping, uncovers dysfunctions like PCOS that standard blood tests miss.
Informed Consent and Hormones: Conventional medicine often prescribes oral contraceptives for painful periods without fully explaining risks like cancer, weight gain, or loss of libido. Adina focuses on restoring natural hormonal balance using bioidentical progesterone instead.
Strategic Supplementation: Supplements can be dangerous if taken indiscriminately. Adina uses precise saliva, blood, and urine testing to ensure her patients only take the specific nutrients their bodies actually need.
Healing Complex Chronic Illness: Adina shares an incredible success story of a 20-year-old nursing student who reversed debilitating SIBO, POTS-like symptoms, and tick-borne disease, dropping her medical symptom score from 170 down to 15.

Why Functional Medicine Is Booming: Concierge Care, Better.... - Talk with Dr. Justin Hogan

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 08:22:18 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Justin Hogan, an internal medicine-trained physician and founder of LVWellness & Aesthetics. Frustrated by the fast-paced, prescription-heavy traditional medical model during his residency, Dr. Hogan pivoted to concierge functional medicine after discovering the profound benefits of hormone optimization. He explains why settling for normal lab results isn't enough, and how he helps patients achieve their prime health by focusing on three core pillars: hormone optimization, nutrition, and functional movement.

Key Takeaways:

The Lost Art of Listening: Dr. Hogan emphasizes talking to patients before ever looking at their labs, as symptoms and personal stories usually reveal the true root of the problem.
Synthetic vs. Bioidentical Hormones: Much of the fear surrounding hormone therapy comes from studies on synthetic hormones. Bioidentical hormones match the body's natural structure and can actually decrease the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and certain cancers.
GLP-1s and Muscle Preservation: While GLP-1 medications are powerful tools for treating insulin resistance, Dr. Hogan uses the lowest effective dose combined with protein tracking to ensure patients don't lose their metabolic burn by sacrificing muscle mass.

Why Diets Fail Women After 40 and How to Finally Lose Weight Without... - Talk with Dr. Angela Tran

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:56:31 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Angela Tran, a board-certified physician in internal medicine and obesity medicine and the founder of Med-Fit Medical Weight Loss. After experiencing severe physician burnout in traditional primary care, Dr. Tran pivoted to medical weight loss in 2012 to help patients graduate from the cycle of yo-yo dieting.

Key Takeaways:

Escaping Physician Burnout: Dr. Tran shares her hit-bottom moment stuck in traffic at 8 PM with charting left to do, which prompted her to leave traditional primary care for a more fulfilling path in medical weight loss.
The Truth About GLP-1s: GLP-1 medications are not new and they are not a skinny drug cheat code; they are physiological tools to treat underlying conditions like insulin resistance.
Separating Mechanics from Mindset: Many women blame a lack of willpower for sugar addiction or overeating, but Dr. Tran explains how these are often chemistry-based responses to hormones, stress, and poor sleep.

"There Is No Magic Bullet”: How a Longevity Doctor Builds Real.... - Talk with Dr. Stephan Goupil

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:47:52 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Stephan Goupil, a double board-certified physician in Family and Lifestyle Medicine and founder of Extended Healthspans. Drawing from his unique background as a philosophy major, biology professor, and genetics researcher who once doubled the lifespan of a fruit fly, Dr. Goupil shares why he left the burnout of traditional primary care to open a solo concierge practice.

Key Takeaways:

Healthspan Over Lifespan: Living to 100 isn't the goal if the last 30 years are spent confined to a chair with a box of pills. The focus should be on "healthspan"—maximizing the years spent healthy, active, and capable of doing what you love.
The Foundations of Longevity: Before exploring biohacking or expensive supplements, patients must master the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: diet, exercise, stress management, sleep, avoiding toxins, and maintaining healthy social interactions.
Advanced Preventative Testing: Beyond standard cholesterol panels, Dr. Goupil utilizes advanced labs like APOB and Lp(a) for cardiovascular risk, as well as cutting-edge DNA fragment tests for early detection of dozens of cancers.

Reversing Diabetes and Chronic Disease Through Joyful Wellness - Talk with Dr. Jennifer Davis

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:42:48 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Jennifer Davis, a pediatric intensive care physician who transitioned into lifestyle medicine to help adults and children reverse chronic diseases. Disillusioned by seeing children increasingly affected by adult-type illnesses, Dr. Davis pivoted to an approach focused on root causes. She discusses how she successfully treats conditions like Type 2 diabetes by shifting the focus from rigid diets and restriction to what she calls "joyful wellness"—adding a crucial seventh pillar of "joy" to the standard lifestyle medicine model.

Key Takeaways:

Moving from PICU to Prevention: Dr. Davis explains how her time in the pediatric intensive care unit treating sick children inspired her to switch to lifestyle medicine to stop chronic adult illnesses before they take root.
The Missing 7th Pillar: Standard lifestyle medicine focuses on six pillars like sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Dr. Davis adds "joy" as the vital seventh pillar, arguing that forced, miserable health regimens are impossible to sustain.

Career Crossroads in Medicine: Coaching, Boundaries, Purpose – Talk with Dr. Joe Sherman

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:37:11 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Joe Sherman, pediatrician of 38 years and founder of Joe Sherman MD Coaching and Consulting. After decades in clinical practice, Dr. Sherman now serves as a physician coach and retreat facilitator — helping healthcare professionals navigate burnout, rediscover purpose, and match their soul to their role through values-based career discernment and mindful leadership.

Key Takeaways:

Match Your Soul to Your Role: The most common struggle Dr. Sherman sees is physicians who are technically skilled but deeply misaligned with where they work. His coaching helps them identify their core values and make intentional career decisions that reflect who they truly are.
You Can't Add Without Letting Go: Many burned-out physicians want more connection and fulfillment but have filled every hour with work. Dr. Sherman's core insight — unless you're willing to release something, there's no room to bring anything new in.
Burnout Is Systemic, Not Personal: The pressure, loss of autonomy, and moral injury physicians face comes from the system, not from weakness. Recognizing that distinction is often the first step toward healing and meaningful change.
Community and Belonging Drive Longevity: Drawing on his time with indigenous communities in Bolivia, Dr. Sherman's top health advice is to expand your definition of health beyond biomedical wellness — connection, purpose, and a sense of belonging matter as much as any lab value.
Prime Health Is Holistic Self-Acceptance: His definition — accepting yourself for who you are, setting realistic goals across every dimension of life, and using whatever resources you have to pursue true wholeness.

Time-Based Medicine: The Simple Shift That Makes Care (and Life) Better – Talk with Dr. Daniel Paull

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:31:10 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Daniel Paull, orthopedic surgeon and founder of Easy Orthopedics in Colorado Springs. After a skiing accident at 14 sparked his passion for medicine, Dr. Paull spent years grinding through the traditional system — until an existential crisis mid-fellowship pushed him to quit, move into his in-laws' basement, and build one of the most unconventional orthopedic practices in the country: mobile, cash-based, insurance-free, and just two people.

Key Takeaways:

The Mobile, Insurance-Free Model Works: Dr. Paull built a thriving orthopedic practice with no office, no insurance contracts, and no outside billing — just him, his wife, and a direct relationship with patients. Six years in, he's proof the model is sustainable and replicable.
Time Is the Missing Ingredient in Medicine: You can't compress care down infinitely without losing quality. Dr. Paull's definition of prime health centers on time-based medicine — doctors spending real, unhurried time with patients is the simplest shift that improves outcomes.
Quitting the Right Things Is a Superpower: He quit his fellowship halfway through — something almost no one does. His insight: the most successful people quit what isn't working, reshuffle their priorities, and find a better path to winning.
Don't Let Anyone Bill on Your Behalf: His top business advice — remove every middleman from your revenue. When you control your billing and eliminate insurance company interference, you protect your income, your practice, and your integrity.

Healing Beyond Talk Therapy: How Neurofeedback and Ketamine Are..... – Talk with Nicole Bankhead

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:25:42 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Nicole Bankhead, licensed professional counselor, integrative healer, and founder of Serenity Wellness and Counseling Center in Cypress, Texas. After years in traditional talk therapy, Nicole realized deeper healing required more — and built a practice that combines neurofeedback, EMDR, ketamine-assisted therapy, and functional medicine to help clients heal at the root, not just manage symptoms.

Key Takeaways:

True Healing Is Whole-Person Healing: Serenity Wellness addresses the brain, body, and spirit together. From functional gut support to neurofeedback to psychedelic-assisted therapy, each layer of care works in concert to create profound, lasting transformation.
Neurofeedback Opens the Door: When combined with EMDR or ketamine therapy, neurofeedback calms the nervous system and opens neural pathways so that deeper therapeutic work unfolds with greater ease. Clients report feeling connected to their authentic selves for the first time.
Prep and Integration Matter as Much as the Session: With ketamine-assisted therapy, the dosing day is just one piece. Education, preparation, and post-session integration are what turn a powerful experience into sustainable change.

From Hype to Evidence: A Doctor-First Data Platform - Talk with Leah Braddell

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:19:02 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Leah Braddell, CEO of Data Biologics, a company pioneering the use of real-world evidence to transform medicine. As a lifelong physician sidekick across specialties, Leah has made it her mission to make clinical data accessible and meaningful — not just for corporations, but for individual doctors and patients — starting with the largely underfunded field of regenerative medicine.

Key Takeaways:

Every Patient Is an Opportunity to Learn: Regenerative treatments like PRP and stem cell therapy lack big pharma funding for traditional trials. Data Biologics gives any physician a simple scientific platform to study treatment effectiveness right in their own practice — no academic apparatus required.
Real-World Data Beats 20-Person Studies: The Data Biologics registry now holds more data on many regenerative treatments than exists in all clinical literature combined, helping physicians at conferences align around standards and consensus faster than ever before.
AI Is Only as Good as the Data Behind It: Leah warns that without clean, well-structured real-world data, AI in medicine risks doing more harm than good. Building trustworthy algorithms starts with trustworthy data collection at the point of care.

From Military Medicine to Honest Family Practice - Talk with Dr. Lauren Mitchell

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:12:56 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Lauren Mitchell, a board-certified family medicine physician and founder of Honest Family Medicine. Dr. Mitchell transitioned from active-duty military medicine and a grueling 100-patient-a-day urgent care job during the pandemic to launching a Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic. She shares how a dramatic, life-saving moment in the Peace Corps set her on the path to medicine, and how her DPC clinic allows her to finally practice the comprehensive, holistic, and un-rushed care she was trained to provide. The conversation covers the failing corporate medical model, the power of functional medicine, and why true healthcare begins with simply listening to the patient.

Key Takeaways:

The Call to Medicine: Dr. Mitchell shares the incredible story of performing life-saving CPR on a friend in rural Kazakhstan during her time in the Peace Corps, an event that shifted her career from pre-law to medical school.
Escaping the Corporate Treadmill: After seeing over 100 patients a day in urgent care during the pandemic, Dr. Mitchell embraced the Direct Primary Care model to regain control over her schedule and build genuine relationships with patients.
Practicing Full-Scope Medicine: Unlike traditional systems that constantly refer patients to specialists, the DPC model gives physicians the time to utilize their full training, from dermatology and mental health to minor surgeries and functional medicine.
The "Why" Behind the Symptoms: Functional medicine goes beyond writing a prescription by using specialized testing to uncover the root causes of illness, such as gut imbalances, mold exposure, or hormone dysfunction.
Get Outside: Dr. Mitchell's top health advice is to disconnect from screens and spend at least 30 minutes outside every day, particularly in the morning, to optimize vitamin D and cortisol rhythms for better mental and physical health.

Health Span vs Lifespan: Live Better, Not Just Longer – Talk with Dr. Robyn Tiger

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:58:24 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Robyn Tiger, double board-certified physician in diagnostic radiology and lifestyle medicine, founder of StressFreeMD, and known as the Self-Care Doctor. After developing her own stress-related health conditions during her medical career, Dr. Tiger transformed her life using mind-body medicine — and now uniquely combines yoga therapy, meditation, life coaching, and lifestyle medicine to help physicians and patients relieve stress and extend both lifespan and healthspan.

Key Takeaways:

You Were Born with the Ability to Feel Better: Dr. Tiger's top health advice — you have the innate capacity to feel better whenever you want to. You just need to learn how. That belief is the foundation of everything she teaches at StressFreeMD.
Stress Is the Hidden Driver of Chronic Disease: From migraines to blood sugar spikes to hypertension, Dr. Tiger's own health unraveled under unmanaged stress. She reversed it all through lifestyle medicine — and now guides others through the same transformation.
Meet People Where They Are: Her most powerful differentiator is showing up with zero judgment, zero expectations, and full compassion. Real change happens when patients feel safe enough to be honest about where they truly are.

How Lifestyle Medicine Transforms Patient Care – Talk with Dr. Adelola Ashaye

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:50:27 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Adelola Ashaye, board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician and founder of InTouch Primary Care in Sugar Land, Texas. After nearly a decade in traditional healthcare, Dr. Ashaye saw firsthand how preventable conditions spiral into devastating complications — and made it her mission to offer something different: longer visits, direct access, and truly personalized whole-person care.

Key Takeaways:

Prevention Over Management: A patient she cared for in residency had gone from borderline pre-diabetes to complicated, debilitating disease over 11 years. That moment crystallized Dr. Ashaye's passion — catching health issues early when they're still easy to reverse is everything.
The Membership Model Advantage: By removing insurance constraints and offering extended visits, Dr. Ashaye gives patients something rare in modern medicine — time. More time means better listening, deeper understanding, and faster results.
Listening Is a Clinical Tool: Dr. Ashaye has had patients reveal vital health information years into their care — simply because no one had ever taken the time to ask. Listening is not a soft skill; it's a diagnostic one.

How Emotions Shape Biology and Healing – Talk with Dr. Erin Holston Singh

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:46:42 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Erin Holston Singh, a pioneering naturopathic physician with over 25 years of clinical experience and founder of Options Naturopathic in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Erin bridges rigorous metabolic and emotional terrain diagnostics with mind-body medicine, viewing disease not as an error but as a messenger — and helping patients heal by reconnecting with the innate intelligence of nature and the self.

Key Takeaways:

Emotions Become Biology: Your hormones are essentially your feelings turned into molecules that signal the entire body. Dr. Erin explains how unprocessed emotions directly shape physical health — and why learning to feel is one of the most powerful healing tools available.
Be Willing to Feel: Her top health advice is simple but profound — stop resisting your emotions. Whether it's fear, anger, or grief, the feelings we suppress are often the root of chronic illness, and learning to sit with them is where healing truly begins.
Disease as a Messenger: Dr. Erin's practice views symptoms not as problems to suppress, but as signals from the body and soul worth listening to. This paradigm shift changes how both patients and practitioners approach healing.
Optimal Development Shapes Lifelong Health: Her definition of prime health centers on optimal development — from gestation through adolescence. Unprocessed traumas, surgeries, or disruptions during those formative years often layer into the chronic conditions patients face decades later.
Nature Is the Foundation of Medicine: Dr. Erin's journey into naturopathic medicine was driven by a simple truth — humans are biology, and nature-based medicine works with the body's design rather than against it.

Prevent Disease Before It Starts: A Doctor's Simple Daily Framework – Talk with Dr. Patrice High

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:39:39 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Patrice High, founder and CEO of NuEmpowerment Health and dual board-certified physician in both family medicine and lifestyle medicine. After becoming short of breath running up her own stairs, Dr. High transformed her health using the very principles she now teaches — and built a practice dedicated to helping women prevent, improve, and reverse chronic disease before it takes hold.

Key Takeaways:

Mindset Before Everything: Dr. High's practice uses 60-minute visits because you simply cannot understand a patient's "why" in 15 minutes. Knowing how someone got where they are — and where they want to go — must come before any conversation about food or exercise.
Lifestyle First, Medication Second: Dr. High's approach puts her in the health coaching space alongside a patient's primary care provider. She handles the pieces a 15-minute visit can't — a 16-point lifestyle assessment, goal-setting, and pillar-by-pillar evaluation.
Chronic Disease Is Not Your Destiny: Dr. High was taught that diabetics are always diabetic — until she discovered research proving otherwise. Her own transformation using lifestyle medicine principles became the foundation of her entire practice.
Every Meal Is a Choice: Her top health advice is simple — recognize that every time you open the fridge or sit down to eat, you are choosing wellness or disease. No one is perfect, but awareness at every meal is where change begins.
Intentional Health Is Prime Health: Dr. High defines prime health as intentional living — paying attention to how food, sleep, and stress affect how you feel, and making small conscious improvements day after day.

The Diabetes Reversal Formula: Food, Stress, Sleep, Movement – Talk with Rita Brewer

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:33:54 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Rita Brewer, physician associate, certified lifestyle medicine diplomat, and founder of the Diabetes Reversal Formula coaching program. With over 33 years of experience in internal medicine, surgery, and integrative health, Rita has made it her mission to help people with type 2 diabetes reduce medications, normalize blood sugars, and reclaim vibrant health — using lifestyle as the medicine.

Key Takeaways:

Diabetes Can Be Reversed: Most patients have never been told reversal is possible. Rita's biggest frustration with conventional medicine is that it waits until a full diagnosis before acting — and even then, offers medication over lifestyle tools.
The 7 Pillars of Healing: Rita's formula goes beyond the standard 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine by adding mindset as the foundation. Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress reduction, avoiding toxins, and community support all play a role in reversing chronic disease.
Food Is Your Best Medicine: Everything on the end of your fork is either feeding good health or feeding disease. Rita's top advice for everyone — diabetic or not — is to become aware of toxic, processed foods and replace them with real, whole nutrition.
Medications Manage, Lifestyle Reverses: Drugs can stabilize chronic conditions, but they rarely stop progression. Only true lifestyle change has the power to actually reverse type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Stand Up For Doctors: Stories That Break the Silence on Physician Burnout – Talk with Kim Downey

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:30:09 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Kim Downey, founder of Stand Up For Doctors, physical therapist, three-time cancer survivor, and fierce advocate for physician wellbeing. After losing her own doctor to suicide, Kim made it her mission to build connection and advocacy for healthier doctors and stronger healthcare systems. She shares powerful stories of burnout, moral injury, and what it truly takes to support the humans behind the white coats.

Key Takeaways:

A Crisis Hidden in Plain Sight: An estimated 300–400 physicians take their own life every year — more than one a day — yet these statistics are believed to be underreported. Physician suicide is a public health crisis that demands urgent attention.
Doctors Are Human Too: Society places doctors on a pedestal and expects them to be superhuman. Kim's book, White Coats, Courageous Hearts, features true stories of 15 doctors reclaiming their humanity in a system that constantly challenges it.
Burnout Has Real Causes: Time constraints, loss of autonomy, moral injury, and corporate medicine pressures are driving physicians to their breaking point. The system, not the individual, is often at fault.

You're Not Your Diagnosis: The Mindset Shift That Changes Healing – Talk with Dr. Michael Kaye

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:26:36 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Michael Kaye, chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and founder of the Center for Functional Health. With a career spanning since 1988, Dr. Kaye grew up overweight in Philadelphia, watched his parents suffer from preventable chronic disease, and made it his life's mission to help others avoid the same fate through lifestyle, movement, and root-cause medicine.

Key Takeaways:

Common Is Not Normal: Just because symptoms like fatigue, bloating, or constipation are frequent doesn't make them acceptable. Dr. Kaye challenges patients to stop normalizing red flags their body is sending them.
The Root-Cause Approach: Functional medicine looks beyond the diagnosis to find what's actually driving the problem — addressing gut health, nutrition, sleep, and movement together rather than managing symptoms in isolation.
Your Story Matters: Spending 90 minutes with a patient instead of 11 minutes changes everything. Understanding how someone expresses their symptoms and how they live their life is critical to getting real results.
Sleep and Movement Are Non-Negotiable: Dr. Kaye's top health advice is simple — prioritize restorative sleep and keep moving. No magic, no shortcuts. Tendons, ligaments, joints, and muscles all need consistent movement to function well.

The Longevity Lie: What Most People Get Wrong About Living Longer – Talk with Erik Nelson

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:23:09 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Erik Nelson, founder and medical director of Human Sync, a longevity medicine company focused on personalized health optimization. Starting his career as a neuro ICU nurse at Mayo Clinic, Erik built a systems-based approach to preventative medicine, guiding over 1,500 clients through advanced diagnostics, genomics, and performance science to extend not just lifespan, but peak healthspan.

Key Takeaways:

The Real Problem with Healthcare: The US has world-class acute and emergency care, but some of the worst preventative health outcomes. Erik built Human Sync specifically to shift the focus from reactive treatment to proactive, personalized prevention.
Nervous System Exhaustion: Most high performers are running on stress hormones constantly. The body is incredible at adapting, but without proper recovery, something eventually breaks — and that's what Erik sees behind the scenes with almost every client.
Don't Be Obsessed with Metrics: Wearables and biomarkers are useful tools, but becoming hyper-fixated on perfection can be counterproductive. The goal is a plan that guides you without running your life.
Simple Foundations Win: Eat real food, avoid processed options, spend time outside, and don't take things too seriously. Erik's top health advice centers on sustainable habits over complex protocols.
Prime Health Defined: Being able to do the things you want to do after you retire — staying present for your family and enjoying life later — is the real goal, and every daily action should move toward that.

Peak Performance at Any Age: Reinventing Health, Movement, and.... – Talk with Dr. Adrienne Towsen

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:18:44 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Adrienne Towsen, an orthopedic surgeon and founder of Towsen Clinic in Westchester, Pennsylvania. After 21 years in sports medicine, Dr. Towsen left her practice following a private equity acquisition and pivoted toward proactive, preventative care focused on movement, longevity, and peak performance. She shares how her passion for keeping patients active well into midlife drives her new approach to medicine.

Key Takeaways:

Why She Left Traditional Practice: A private equity acquisition made it impossible to practice medicine aligned with her values, pushing Dr. Towsen to start over and build a practice centered on what truly matters — keeping people healthy and moving.
Lifespan vs. Healthspan: Dr. Towsen emphasizes optimizing the years you live with vitality and function, not just adding years to your life — a philosophy she now builds her entire practice around.
Movement is Medicine: Whether you have an arthritic joint or an overuse injury, staying active is almost always better than being sedentary. Consistent movement paired with proper nutrition and protein intake is her top health advice.
Muscle as a Priority: As we age, muscle naturally declines. Dr. Towsen stresses the importance of proactively maintaining muscle mass through exercise and nutrition to preserve long-term function and quality of life.
Find Your Passion: A competitive ballroom dancer herself, Dr. Towsen believes that finding something that brings you joy is the real secret to staying healthy into midlife and beyond.

Brain Fog, Low Libido, Poor Sleep? Why Your Labs Can Look "Normal".... - Talk with Dr. Joseph Upton

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:11:04 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Joseph Upton, a board-certified anti-aging and preventative medicine specialist at Levy Aesthetics. After a decade in traditional family medicine, Dr. Upton transitioned to hormone optimization and longevity medicine, helping patients who feel unwell despite "normal" lab results finally get answers.

Key Takeaways:

Normal vs. Optimal: The normal lab range is just a bell curve. Dr. Upton works to move patients to the top of that range to resolve symptoms like brain fog and fatigue.
The Healthspan Focus: Anti-aging medicine is about maximizing the years you live with vitality and optimal function, not just living longer.
The Power of the Thyroid: A tech executive's career was saved not by testosterone, but by properly optimizing his thyroid to eliminate severe brain fog.
Subjective Trumps Objective: A patient's symptoms and personal story should always guide treatment more than numbers on a page.
Start Low and Go Slow: Hormone optimization is a long game requiring patience, especially for women entering menopause.

Why Doctors & Investors Are Quietly Owning MRI Centers Instead of... - Talk with Stephen Veals

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 07:58:28 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Stephen Veals of the MRI Consulting Group. Stephen explores the growing trend of doctors and private investors taking ownership of MRI centers rather than outsourcing these services, and shares expert guidance on how to successfully enter this specialized healthcare space.

Key Takeaways:

A Shift in Ownership: Medical professionals and investors are quietly moving toward owning MRI centers instead of renting them, recognizing the long-term value this model offers.
The Private Investor Appeal: Stephen shares the story of a father who, after taking his daughter in for a scan, recognized the clinic's potential and reached out to learn how a private investor could enter the MRI business.
Growing Market Interest: Various investment groups are increasingly viewing MRI center ownership as a lucrative and stable business model worth exploring.

Direct Primary Care The Healthcare Model Putting Doctors and.... - Talk with Dr. Phil Hellman

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 07:23:36 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Phil Hellman, a board-certified family medicine physician and the founder of Paradox Health. Dr. Hellman breaks down the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model, explaining how it functions as affordable concierge medicine where patients pay a monthly membership fee—often less than a cell phone bill—instead of dealing with insurance. By removing the administrative burdens of traditional healthcare, Dr. Hellman is able to spend quality time with his patients, offering transparent, cash-pay prices for medications, labs, and imaging.

Key Takeaways:

What is Direct Primary Care? It is an affordable membership-based healthcare model that bypasses insurance companies to provide patients with extended doctor access, same-day appointments, and steeply discounted medications and labs.
HSA/FSA Integration: New legislative pushes are making it easier for patients to legally use their HSA and FSA dollars to pay for their DPC monthly memberships.
Removing Artificial Friction: The traditional insurance model pits doctors against patients by incentivizing rushed 10-minute visits. The DPC model removes this, allowing physicians to thoroughly diagnose and treat root causes without the pressure of an assembly line.

Stop Testing, Start Listening: The Blueprint for Functional Medicine... - Talk with Katie Garrott

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 07:19:53 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Katie Garrott, a board-certified clinical nutritionist and founder of VivaWise Functional Wellness. Katie shares how her mother's battle with fibromyalgia and her own debilitating parasite infections contracted in Central America led her to pursue functional medicine. They discuss her unique, minimalist approach to care that flips the traditional functional medicine "test, don't guess" model on its head by prioritizing deep listening and lifestyle changes over overwhelming, expensive lab panels.

Key Takeaways:

The Power of Listening: You can uncover the deepest root causes of illness—like chronic stress or poor sleep habits—simply by taking the time to listen to a patient's story, rather than relying solely on expensive functional tests.
Minimalist Functional Medicine: By keeping protocols simple and using basic blood work like a CBC to identify inflammation, Katie helps patients achieve their goals without the burnout and high costs of excessive supplementation and restrictive diets.
Healing the "Incurable": Katie shares a remarkable success story of a patient diagnosed with lymphangiectasia who managed to reverse severe malnutrition and chronic diarrhea by focusing strictly on foundational gut health and stress reduction.

The Menopause Wake-Up Call: Why Your Doctor Isn’t Trained for This - Talk with Angel Turlington

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 07:15:35 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Angel Turlington, a nurse practitioner with over 20 years of experience and the founder of Southeast Aesthetic and Wellness. After years of pouring her energy into her patients and her family, Angel hit a turning point at age 40, deciding it was time to prioritize her own health and detoxify her life. She shares how she evolved her successful aesthetics practice into a comprehensive wellness center that addresses the root causes of aging, focusing heavily on gut restoration and hormonal health.

Key Takeaways:

The Educational Gap: Many well-meaning, modern physicians receive little to no training on menopause or nutrition in residency, leaving women dismissed or misdiagnosed with "anxiety" when they are actually experiencing hormonal decline.
Gut Health is Foundational: Before jumping into trendy biohacks like NAD+ or even hormone replacement, Angel emphasizes that healing the gut microbiome is mandatory; otherwise, you cannot properly absorb nutrients or stabilize your "second brain".
Lift Heavy Sh*t: While yoga and Pilates are great for stress reduction, Angel firmly states that building muscle mass through heavy lifting is the single most important physical indicator for long-term health and longevity.

Stop Chasing Quick Fixes: The RegenCode Protocol for Plantar ... - Talk with Dr. Benjamin Sibley

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 07:10:26 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Benjamin Sibley, a board-certified podiatrist in Australia and the founder of Your Podiatrist Brisbane. With over 31 years of clinical experience, Dr. Sibley has transformed the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis by shifting away from temporary fixes—like damaging cortisone shots—and moving toward advanced regenerative medicine. They discuss the paradigm shift of treating the plantar fascia as a complex "organ" and how his highly customized RegenCode protocol utilizes autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), dual-wavelength MLS laser therapy, and ultrasound guidance to achieve lasting healing.

Key Takeaways:

The Plantar Fascia is an Organ: Successful treatment requires identifying exactly which specific tissues—such as the bone, fat pad, ligaments, or surrounding neurovascular structures—are generating pain, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all injection.
The RegenCode Protocol: True healing goes beyond the foot; Dr. Sibley's biological approach includes increasing protein and essential amino acid intake, as well as addressing hormonal drops (like testosterone and estrogen) that impact tissue repair.
Orthobiologics Over Cortisone: While repeated cortisone shots can break down tissue, autologous PRP harnesses the patient's own blood products and growth factors to act as a natural anti-inflammatory and regenerate damaged cells.
MLS Laser Therapy: This painless, dual-wavelength laser (utilizing both continuous and pulsed beams) penetrates deep into the tissues to decrease inflammation and accelerate cellular healing without requiring any downtime.

Why Listening May Be the Most Powerful Medicine We’ve Lost - Talk with Deidre Arms

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 07:07:06 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Deidre Arms, a board-certified advanced practice nurse and the founder of Aspire Wellness Integrative Health. Deidre shares her inspiring transition from the fast-paced, 10-minute "assembly line" of traditional hospital care to a holistic practice where patients are finally given the time to be truly heard. They discuss how her specialized team tackles root-cause issues like hormonal imbalances, severe gut dysfunction, and chronic inflammation.

Key Takeaways:

Escaping the Assembly Line: Deidre explains why her practice guarantees hour-long appointments without double-booking, ensuring every patient is deeply listened to—a stark contrast to the modern 10-minute conventional care model.
The Power of Belief: True healing starts in the mind. Deidre actively screens for a patient's belief in their own recovery, noting that a positive mindset alone can drive significant improvements.
Gut Health as the Foundation: Treating the microbiome and addressing conditions like leaky gut are the first essential steps to resolving broader issues like autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, and even mental health struggles.
De-prescribing Success: Deidre shares an incredible 18-month journey of helping a fellow nurse reduce her daily medications from 18 down to just three by targeting chronic gut infections and underlying inflammation.

How Plants + Mindfulness Help You Get Off Meds and Thrive - Talk with Dr. Christina Cherian

Dr. Derek Baron — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 09:06:49 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron speaks with Dr. Christina Cherian, a double board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician and founder of Lotus Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Cherian shares how she overcame medical school burnout by discovering the power of plant-based nutrition and mindfulness, shifting her focus from simply prescribing pills to treating the root causes of chronic disease. They discuss how incremental dietary changes, rather than an "all-or-nothing" approach, can reverse conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Dr. Cherian also highlights the vital role of mindfulness in breaking bad habits by creating space between cravings and reactions.

Key Takeaways:

The Turning Point: A book on willpower and a deep dive into plant-based nutrition research inspired Dr. Cherian to stay in medical school and pursue lifestyle medicine rather than traditional "sick care".
Plant-Based Misconceptions: You don't have to go 100% vegan overnight; even small, incremental increases in whole plant foods can significantly improve chronic disease markers.
Whole Foods Over Processed: Swapping meat for highly processed plant-based alternatives still promotes disease; the focus should remain on foods that look as close as possible to how they came out of the ground.
Mindfulness as a Tool: Meditation and mindfulness practices help create crucial space between a stimulus (like a sugar craving) and the physical response, giving patients the power to make healthier choices.

The Hidden Cost of Perfection: Why High Performers Break and How to Fix It - Talk with Dr. Jenna

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 11:08:40 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Jenna Ross, a certified mental performance consultant, licensed associate counselor, and U.S. Army veteran. Drawing on her 13 years of military experience as a medic and drill sergeant, Dr. Ross shares how she helps athletes, executives, and tactical professionals (like police and first responders) train their minds to build stress tolerance and avoid burnout. They discuss the hidden dangers of "maladaptive perfectionism," the creation of her "Appraisal Gap" model, and why performance coaching isn't just for fixing what's broken—it's about optimizing your true potential.

Key Takeaways:

Military-Tested Resilience: Dr. Ross explains how military training effectively rewires the body's natural stress response, a concept she now uses to help civilians and organizations build practical mental toughness.
The Perfectionism Trap: High performers often struggle with "all-or-nothing" thinking. Dr. Ross reveals how the immense pressure to be perfect actually causes performance to drop, leading to critical errors and emotional dysregulation.
The Appraisal Gap: A simple but profound framework that asks two questions—"How much does this matter?" and "How much do I believe I can?"—to help mitigate stress responses and clarify actionable goals.
Coaching Isn't Just Remediation: A common misconception (especially among men) is that you only need a coach if something is "wrong." In reality, peak performance coaching is about optimizing your baseline to become the absolute best version of yourself.
The Mind-Body Connection: True health requires balancing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, as neglecting physical foundational health (like nutrition or sleep) directly limits mental performance.

When Emotional Detox Becomes the Key to Lasting Physical Healing - Talk with Dr. Maya Sarkisyan

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:44:04 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Maya Sarkisyan, a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, functional medicine practitioner, master NLP practitioner, and founder of the Dr. Maya Clinic. Dr. Maya shares her fascinating transition from a high-stress Wall Street software engineering career to holistic medicine, a shift sparked by discovering the profound link between her own autoimmune condition and unresolved emotional trauma. They discuss how traditional medicine often masks symptoms with medications like SSRIs, while a true root-cause approach blends functional testing (like neurotransmitter and microbiome analysis) with powerful emotional detox techniques.

Key Takeaways:

The Emotional-Physical Loop: Disempowering beliefs and unresolved trauma can manifest as physical diseases. Reprogramming your mindset through NLP allows your body's cells to regenerate and heal as you upgrade your level of consciousness.
Functional vs. Conventional Psychiatry: Brain fog, anxiety, and depression are often treated with SSRIs, but they can actually stem from leaky gut, food sensitivities, or mycotoxins identifiable through functional testing.
Evening Routines for Healing: Avoid TV or eating three hours before bed. Instead, use that time to write a gratitude list or set goals, allowing your subconscious to process positive, progressive thoughts during restorative sleep.
Don't Wait for Symptoms: A major flaw in modern healthcare is waiting until you suffer to seek help. Preventative functional testing should be done annually to create proactive health and longevity plans.

Recovery with Comfortable Sleep: The Missing Link in Shoulder Surgery Care - Talk with Sam Jacobsak

Dr. Derek Baron — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 18:40:06 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Sam Jacobsak, former professional baseball player and founder of Shoulder Sleeper. Sam shares the "aha moment" following his own labral surgery when he realized the standard medical sling offered zero support for sleeping, leading to severe inflammation and sleepless nights. Together with his physical therapist co-founder, Sam developed the Shoulder Sleeper pillow—a patented, custom-fitted sleep brace that props the humerus, prevents rolling, and eliminates painful neck straps.

Key Takeaways:

Solving the Sleep Gap: Standard post-op slings are designed for standing with gravity, offering no support when lying down. The Shoulder Sleeper fills this gap as a dedicated, custom-fitted sleep brace.
Immediate Relief: Many patients report getting their first full night of sleep in weeks on the very first night they use the Shoulder Sleeper, drastically reducing morning pain and inflammation.
Beyond the Rotator Cuff: While designed for post-op shoulder surgery, the pillow has proven effective for dislocations, clavicle fractures, and even lymphedema patients recovering from breast cancer surgery.
Pre-Hab Benefits: Sleeping with the pillow before surgery can reduce inflammation enough that some patients have successfully delayed or canceled their procedures by making physical therapy more effective.

Leading Without Breaking: The ER Doctor Who Teaches High Performers to..... - Talk Dr. Shideh Shafie

Dr. Derek Baron — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 15:09:48 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Shideh Shafie, a board-certified emergency medicine physician and high-performance coach. Dr. Shafie shares how a severe head trauma during her honeymoon led her to seek out coaching and discover new tools for managing stress beyond just "working harder". Drawing from her intense ER experience, she now helps successful leaders, physicians, and entrepreneurs transition from high-functioning to truly high-performing without sacrificing their well-being. The conversation explores why leadership can be lonely, the difference between responsibility and stewardship, and how high achievers can use curiosity instead of judgment to overcome setbacks and stay connected to their personal lives.

Key Takeaways:

The Catalyst for Coaching: A massive head injury the day after her wedding forced Dr. Shafie to realize that sheer hard work couldn't solve every problem, leading her to hire a coach and learn emotional processing tools.
Leadership as Stewardship: True leadership goes beyond simple responsibility; it is "stewardship," which involves managing clients, peers, and personal circles with intentional care.
Curiosity Over Judgment: When high achievers face setbacks outside of their control, replacing harsh self-judgment with curiosity is essential for learning and moving forward.
Measuring the Climb, Not Just the Summit: To maintain consistency and avoid burnout, it's critical to track "lag indicators" and daily progress rather than solely focusing on the end goal, like reaching the top of Mount Everest.
The Lonely Reality of Leadership: C-suite executives and physicians often lack a safe space to discuss emotional and strategic frustrations, making specialized coaching a vital outlet for objective, non-judgmental guidance.

Why Insulin Resistance Is the Real Root of Chronic Disease and How to.... - Talk with Shannon Davis

Dr. Derek Baron — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 15:02:52 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Shannon Davis, a registered dietitian and metabolic health specialist. Shannon shares her personal struggle with infertility and her professional realization that the traditional dietary advice she taught for years in dialysis and transplant centers was actually keeping patients sick. They discuss how insulin resistance is the true root cause of most chronic diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and even dementia.

Key Takeaways:

The Root Cause: Insulin resistance is the underlying driver for 93% of Americans' chronic conditions, masking itself as everything from hypertension and PCOS to Alzheimer's.
Stop Counting Calories: A calorie is just a unit of energy; if insulin is high, the body stores fat and blocks fat burning, regardless of caloric deficit.
The Three-Step Protocol: Reverse chronic disease by practicing 12-16 hour intermittent fasting, prioritizing protein (1 gram per pound of goal weight) and healthy fats, and eliminating snacking.
Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes: Type 2 is a disease of insulin resistance and excess insulin, whereas Type 1 is an autoimmune condition resulting in no insulin production.

Why Your Brain Can’t Heal Without Deep Sleep and How Light Therapy.... - Talk with Dr. Joseph DiDuro

Dr. Derek Baron — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 13:38:50 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Joseph DiDuro, a chiropractic neurologist, clinical researcher, and world-leading authority on transcranial photobiomodulation. Dr. DiDuro unpacks the critical relationship between deep sleep, the glymphatic system, and brain health.

Key Takeaways:

The Physics of Light Therapy: Why standing in front of a red light panel isn't enough for brain health, and why therapeutic LEDs must touch the skin to effectively modulate cellular function.
The Glymphatic "Cleaning Crew": Deep sleep and REM sleep act as a "wash, rinse, and spin" cycle for the brain, clearing out neurotoxins, heavy metals, and the daily byproducts of thinking.
One Brain, One Solution: Instead of separate protocols for autism, Lyme disease, TBI, or dementia, Dr. DiDuro emphasizes that enhancing the brain's innate healing mechanisms improves all neurological conditions.
Sleep Deprivation Dangers: How "social jet lag" and poor sleep hygiene force the brain's cleaning crew to work overtime, leading to cognitive decline, brain fog, and toxic buildup.
High-Tech Sleep Retreats: Dr. DiDuro shares insights from his Costa Rica retreats, where he uses wearable data and targeted light therapy to guarantee restorative sleep and nervous system recovery.

How Lifestyle Medicine Can Reverse Chronic Disease and Burnout - Talk with Dr. Suzannah Bozzone

Dr. Derek Baron — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 14:08:48 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Suzannah Bozzone, a board-certified family and lifestyle physician, and the founder of True Health Journey. Dr. Bozzone shares the traumatic personal injury and dismissive medical experience that fueled her passion to become a deeply empathetic physician. They discuss the immense power of Lifestyle Medicine in reversing chronic diseases—which account for 90% of healthcare spending—by prioritizing nutrition, sleep, and stress management over lifelong prescriptions.

Key Takeaways:

The "Why" Behind the Doctor: After a severe skull fracture in college left her with hearing loss and facial paralysis, a dismissive doctor inspired Dr. Bozzone to create a practice rooted in compassion and listening to patients.
Lifestyle as Medicine: Instead of managing symptoms in rushed 7-minute visits, Lifestyle Medicine uses evidence-based habit changes to prevent, treat, and actually reverse chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
Community Over Willpower: Dr. Bozzone explains why focusing on workplace wellness and community environments is far more effective at nudging people toward healthier choices than relying on sheer willpower.
Redefining the "Reward": Learn how to reframe unhealthy habits—like eating a donut—from being viewed as a "treat" to recognizing them as obstacles that prevent you from reaching your true potential and purpose.

Dr. Derek Baron — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 15:34:07 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Keri Kaitz, a wellness advocate and health optimization specialist with Get Healthy USA. Keri shares her fascinating career transition from Wall Street wealth management to biotech, and eventually to preventative healthcare. The conversation centers around the Biophotonic Scanner, a breakthrough, non-invasive device that measures antioxidant levels in real-time.

Reversing Aging Naturally: What 30 Years of Surgery Taught Me..... - Talk with Dr. Alena Butkevica

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 14:07:35 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Alena Butkevica, a biotech scientist, oral maxillofacial surgeon, and the innovator behind AB Bioinnovations Inc. After performing over 15,000 surgeries, Dr. Butkevica realized that true healing and youthfulness come from empowering the body's internal mechanisms, not from superficially altering appearances. She shares her journey of refusing cosmetic surgery in her mid-50s to instead develop "Absolute Youth," a natural, nanotechnology-driven skincare line that successfully reversed her own aging.

Key Takeaways:

The Surgery Epiphany: After decades in the operating room, Dr. Butkevica concluded that surgeries and stitches only create scarring, while true regeneration requires giving the body the raw materials it needs to heal itself.
The Dangers of Cosmetic Trends: Popular treatments like micro-needling, lasers, and even pedicures trigger the body's defense mechanisms, resulting in micro-scarring, leathery skin, and excess tissue buildup.
Nanotechnology in Skincare: To prevent oxidation and ensure deep penetration, Dr. Butkevica uses specialized nanoparticles in negative-pressure bottles to deliver uncorrupted natural ingredients directly to the cells.

Treating Root Causes, Not Symptoms: A Physician’s Shift Toward True Healing - Talk with Dr. Vidal

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 14:04:30 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Vidal Sheen, a board-certified physician in internal medicine and phlebology, and the founder of Sheen Vein Aesthetics and Functional Medicine. Dr. Sheen discusses his transition from a traditional medical model to an approach rooted in functional and regenerative care, an evolution heavily influenced by his undergraduate background in bioengineering. They explore how modern medicine often acts as a band-aid for chronic diseases and why activating the body’s natural healing cascades leads to true restoration.

Key Takeaways:

An Engineering Mindset: Dr. Sheen approaches the human body as a complex system, aiming to identify and fix the underlying chemical or structural changes that cause disease—like asking why a 40-year-old suddenly developed high blood pressure—rather than just medicating the symptoms.
Redefining Heart Disease: Discover why insulin resistance and vascular inflammation are the true culprits behind atherosclerotic disease and heart attacks, creating the environment where LDL cholesterol fractures and ruptures.
Regenerative Aesthetics: True anti-aging involves giving the body the nutritional cofactors it needs to rebuild lost volume and collagen, utilizing autologous materials like fat transfers instead of temporary, artificial fixes like Botox and fillers.

Inside Integrative Medicine: Gut Health, Weight Loss, and the Real... - Talk with Dr. Mary Pardee

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:57:57 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Mary Pardee, a naturopathic medical doctor, longevity specialist, and founder of Modrn Med. They discuss her transition from researching exercise physiology for the U.S. government to solving her own lifelong GI issues, ultimately shaping her evidence-based approach to naturopathic medicine.

Key Takeaways:

Evidence-Based Naturopathy: Dispelling myths, Dr. Mary Pardee explains that true integrative medicine is science-based and can include prescribing pharmaceuticals—such as weight loss medications—when they are the best tool for the patient.
The Truth About Bloating: While minor abdominal distension after a meal is normal physiology, severe bloating that worsens throughout the day may indicate conditions like SIBO, which can be identified using a lactulose breath test.
Gluten Misconceptions: Unless a patient has celiac disease or a confirmed non-celiac sensitivity, there is little scientific evidence to support the widespread demonization of gluten in the functional medicine space.

“You’re Not Broken.” A New Way to Think About Menopause, Stress, and... - Talk with Dr. Kay Corpus

Dr. Derek Baron — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:54:05 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Kay Corpus, a board-certified family physician, expert in integrative medicine, and founder of Soul of Medicine. Dr. Kay Corpus shares her personal journey from conventional medical burnout to finding her true calling in holistic healing. They discuss how physical symptoms are often a portal to deeper emotional and spiritual imbalances, and why empathy is a crucial component of patient care.

Key Takeaways:

The Wounded Healer: Dr. Kay Corpus's own struggles with adrenal fatigue and burnout inspired her to build a practice that honors the mind, body, and soul connection.
Reframing Menopause: Rather than a decline, menopause is a "cocoon" phase—a necessary and sometimes messy initiation into a woman's authentic wisdom.
Pain as a Portal: Physical symptoms are often the body’s way of signaling deeper emotional, spiritual, or relational energy leaks that need addressing.

PRP vs Stem Cells vs Exosomes: The Real-World Guide from a Spine Neurosurgeon - Talk with Dr. Jeff

Dr. Derek Baron — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 17:43:59 GMT

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Jeff D. Gross, a neurosurgeon known as the "Stem Cell Whisperer" and founder of ReCELLebrate. Dr. Gross shares his journey from a traditional spine surgeon to a pioneer in regenerative medicine, driven by the desire to offer patients effective alternatives to invasive surgery.

Key Takeaways:

The Shift to Regenerative Care: Dr. Gross transitioned from traditional neurosurgery to regenerative medicine to fill the gap between conservative treatments and invasive surgeries.
Understanding Biologics: While PRP provides a baseline of healing, stem cells and specifically their messenger particles (exosomes) offer a potent, anti-inflammatory "biohack" that mimics youthful cellular repair.
Exosomes Over Stem Cells: Stem cells from young sources (like amniotic fluid) are powerful, but it's the exosomes they secrete that do the actual work of communicating with and repairing our cells.
