Today, I am joined by one of my very dear friends and colleagues, Dr. Michelle Peris. Together, we’re sitting down to have a “special edition” episode of the podcast where we explore new and novel approaches to healthcare. Dr. Michell Peris is a Naturopathic Doctor, community builder, speaker, women’s empowerment advocate, and mother. She is truly an innovator when it comes to her utilization of group programming to deliver better health outcomes.

 

Regardless of whether or not you work in healthcare, today’s conversation is incredibly important and relevant. As voters, individuals, and healthcare consumers, we have a huge amount of power to not only make choices around our own healthcare but to actually make choices around leadership whose policy ideas lend themselves to sustainability within healthcare. And more than ever before, we’re in a time and place for disruption, entrepreneurship, and innovative ideas to be brought to the table in our downstream conversations.

 

In this conversation, we take a deep dive into how entrepreneurship and outside-of-the-box thinking actually can lend solutions to a healthcare system that is costing us lives, money, and potential in our own health. We take a look at the incredible healthcare model that Michelle has developed around group health, its capacity to change people’s lives profoundly (and in a highly economically efficient manner), and how she is leading the charge on this new frontier of healthcare.

 

Michelle is absolutely going to blow you away with her mission to support women and the model of care that she has developed in her practice. I truly cannot wait for you all to tune in to this important episode!

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women

Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation into my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!
