Healthcare Uprising

15. Own Your Medical Records

Guava Health is tackling one of the most significant challenges in healthcare—one that impacts both patients and providers. By revolutionizing the way health information is managed, Guava is transforming patient-provider interactions and empowering individuals to take control of their health. While especially valuable for those with chronic conditions, it’s just as useful for families or individuals who may not have major health issues but still benefit from having all their medical data in one place. Whether for routine care, unexpected emergencies, or simply gaining better insight into personal health, Guava provides a gateway to knowledge. And in healthcare, knowledge truly is power—allowing patients to make informed decisions and maximize the limited time they have with their doctors.

14. Take Control of Your Healthcare, There's an App for That

Managing chronic and multiple health conditions, or comorbidities even, can be extremely challenging when your health records sit with double digit numbers of providers and various health systems. To fully understand your visits, your diagnoses, all the doctors you are seeing and the meds you are taking, is far too much to have in multiple places. But that’s the typical situation for many living with chronic health conditions. But enter Guava Health to truly bring it all together in one place, in one app.  Isabel dives into the details of how this app functions and makes so many lives so much easier than they’ve ever experienced before.

13. Men's Fertility At-Home Testing, He'll Do It His Way

Thanks to innovative companies like Herafertility, they’re bringing new products straight into our homes. Men’s fertility testing, also known as sperm testing, no longer has to happen at a fertility clinic, eliminating any potential awkwardness that comes with it. Just as in-home testing has expanded across various health areas, sperm testing is now part of the mix. But it goes beyond just fertility—by checking biomarkers and identifying other potential health issues, it provides a valuable baseline for overall health. This aligns with the growing emphasis on value-based care, allowing individuals to be proactive about their health and address concerns before they become bigger issues. Historically men aren’t exactly on top of their health, so this is one simple way to change that behavior.

12. Ketamine Therapy Roundtable

Join us for our first ever roundtable discussion. For this episode we bring back some guests from previous ketamine therapy episodes to collectively discuss ketamine therapy, and create a more complete understanding of what it means to have access to and benefit from this treatment. Alternative mental health therapies are clearly on the rise, with growing curiosity and interest. Organizations like Enthea are expanding access through employers, while providers like Dr. Casey are stepping up to offer these treatments safely. Ketamine ambassadors like Leigh play a crucial role in normalizing and advancing ketamine as a truly viable—perhaps even more effective than traditional pharmaceuticals—option for addressing mental health challenges such as depression, suicide, and PTSD.
