Many thanks to Jessi Gold, MD, MS, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Chief Wellness Officer of the University of Tennessee, and author of the new book, “How Do You Feel?”

Dr. Gold is the Wellness Officer for the 5 campuses of the University of Tennessee and its more than 60,000 students and almost 20,000 faculty and staff. During our 45-minute discussion, she related the history behind the adoption of “wellness” as a responsibility of institutions like universities and hospitals. She also explored how the relatively new concept of “work/life balance” can create tension in the workplace and paradoxically hinder students, residents, and faculty from achieving “wellness.”

During COVID, Dr. Gold practiced psychiatry and saw first-hand how the pandemic brought her seriously ill mental health patients and affected her personally. One result of this experience was her new book, “How Do You Feel?” Part memoir and part COVID-health-care-worker-mental-health-chronicle, Dr. Gold shares the stories of four of her patients as well as her own.

You can find her book here:

Many thanks to Cameron Sabet, a second-year medical student at Georgetown University, Washington, DC. Cameron has a deep and insightful view into healthcare as evidenced by his early efforts as an EMT, articles in Time Magazine, The Washington Post, The Daily Mail, multiple peer-reviewed medical publications, and his work with Venture Capital.

Cameron’s busy studying for his final exams, but I stole him away for this fascinating 25-minute interview.

During our discussion, Cameron discussed his background as an EMT and how it gave him real-life insight into some of the mundane but fundamental challenges of health care delivery.

Cameron articulated how journalism is a powerful medium for influencing individuals and public policy. He also illustrated how financial incentives influence healthcare delivery. He also observed that spiritual sensitivities of different ethnic and religious populations must be addressed in order to improve quality of care and bolster faith in the health care system.

Cameron suggested that telehealth is one solution to bringing healthcare to the population. He also shared a formidable reframing of the work/life balance dilemma.

Many thanks to former Congressman Robert Andrews, a graduate of Cornell Law School, an original author of The Affordable Care Act, and CEO of the Health Transformation Alliance (HTA). Rob is here today to speak about the fundamental importance of an effective health care system to every individual and some of the ways the US healthcare system can be improved.

During our 40-minute discussion, we discussed the complex landscape of healthcare in the US that tends to separate physicians and other providers from their patients. Rob estimated that 30% of the money spent in our healthcare system goes to people who are not directly involved in patient care, and “that’s too much.”

During our interview, Rob described how the HTA lowers overhead and improves outcomes by focusing on education, prevention and removing barriers to prescription and provider access.
