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.

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.
