The Healthcare Liberty Lab Podcast

The system wasn't designed for you to win. It was built to confuse, complicate, and control. Every week, we deconstruct the healthcare machine that profits from your ignorance offering real world solutions that patients can use TODAY. 

No sugar-coating, no corporate agenda- just actionable intelligence on reclaiming your medical freedom.

What You'll Get:

*. Raw conversations with insiders
*. Tactical frameworks to navigate billing & medical decisions
*. Proven methods to question systemic practices that don't serve patients
*. Clear paths to medical autonomy without a bunch of garbage industry jargon

Most people spend a lifetime surrendering their health decisions to a system designed to extract maximum profit. Then wonder why they're broke, sick and dependent.

You don't have to be most people.

The modern patient needs clarity, not confusion. 
Transparency, not transactions. 
Freedom, not fear.

If you're ready to transform from passive patient to informed decision-maker, this is your blueprint.

I quit paying obscene health insurance premiums to faceless corporations & joined a revolution where real humans support each other's medical bills - it's awesome.  No networks. No premiums. No BS.  

Ask me how I sleep at night knowing healthcare doesn't own me anymore.

Emergency Medicine Physician Associate

Awesome experience practicing in urgent care seeing 35+ patients a day.  Amazing team; great patients.  Missed Emergency Medicine too much to stay.  Have stayed on PRN.

Physician Associate

NFL Cheerleader turned EMPA | Award-winning Health Leader | Functional Medicine Advocate | International Speaker | Media Contributor | Podcaster Extraordinaire 😉

I burned out as an Emergency Medicine PA after treating thousands of patients through lockdowns, mandates, and with conflicted guidance and uncertainty.  I ended up depressed, apathetic and completely demoralized. 

I was drowning. The healthcare system was broken and I felt powerless to fix it. 

I started writing on LinkedIn in Summer 2021 with zero followers. I had no idea what I was doing. Just a burned-out healthcare worker who needed an outlet and had strong opinions about fixing the system.

This led to:

• 10K+ followers in 6 months
• Non-clinical unicorn position
• Flexible clinical research role
• Regular podcast appearances
• Keynote speaking opportunities
• Featured in Medscape and US News
• Brand consulting that 3x'd my clinical salary
• Press access to cover FDA and HHS (my dream)

I'm not that smart and have no special training in marketing, and yet, writing online saved my life and changed absolutely everything from my finances to my mental health.

The healthcare professionals I've helped have experienced similar transformations.  

And I love being a part of their stories and I finally feel fulfilled. Through their work and my own,  I'm finally changing healthcare and helping patients in a real way. 

Your expertise is your competitive advantage - you just need to show up consistently and authentically.

My beliefs that drive everything I do:

- Healthcare needs more voices online
- Your expertise deserves a bigger stage
- Opportunities come to those who show up
- Mental health matters more than any paycheck

How can I help you?

• Writing systems that create opportunities 
• Sponsorships for mission-aligned companies that connect you with your customers.
