Healthcare Uprising
This interview-based podcast focuses on how innovation in healthcare is showing up for the benefit of consumers, regular people, anyone who is seeking a way to be healthier and better manage their health. Finally healthcare is being designed "for the people".
We seek to shine a light on the movers, shakers, and innovators across the industry. This includes everything from the tech and digital-based startups providing care and services, to the academics and the medical researchers changing healthcare from inside our educational institutions, to the clinical, biomedical, and medical equipment organizations bringing innovation to our homes, phones and doctor’s offices. It gives a platform to those who are helping to change how healthcare is accessed, delivered, and experienced, for so many Americans.
And equally as important, to truly add the human side of healthcare to this podcast, we cover alot of human stories about real people and their experiences on their healthcare journeys.
Jeremy and Heather will cover some hot healthcare topics as they arise at the top of some of our pre-recorded episodes. Have an interesting topic or new consumer focused healthcare product, program or service you think we should cover? Let us know.
What's especially unique about this podcast is that you have a healthcare industry veteran coupled with your average Joe American to bring levity, authenticity, and a "real" human perspective to these conversations so they don't get too clinical, to in the weeds or complex that you have no idea what we're talking about.

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.

Caretaking when you work full time, and for multiple people in very different ways, for very different reasons, is not easy. From making the time to support them, to staying present at work or for your children, or understanding the myriad of ways to leverage your various health insurance, disability, or long term care benefits, if your loved one is even eligible or has access to that support.
Caretaking is not for the faint of heart and Tanya Wasielewski knows this first hand, many times over. In today’s episode we hear Tanya’s multiple caretaking stories over the last two decades while she raised her son and held down a full time demanding job, in surprisingly disability insurance. It’s not easy to navigate this complicated and complex world of long term care and disability, but we can learn from folks from Tanya, and grab a little bit of her wisdom.
