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.

You don’t often hear about disruption in the pharmacy space, but Mako Rx is changing that by tackling one of the industry’s most pressing issues: cost. In a first-world country, it’s alarming—and unacceptable—that people are skipping medications simply because they can’t afford them. Mako Rx’s partnership with Proactive MD represents a powerful path forward, enabling access to a larger patient population, which is essential for driving meaningful change in healthcare. After all, a small percentage of individuals typically account for the largest share of healthcare costs—addressing their needs efficiently could reshape the entire system.

Today’s discussion is with Monica Rutkowski Grippo, the founder and CEO of Rhea, a community supporting women through pregnancy loss & infertility (in beta). And our vision is bigger: a single, trusted resource for women's health needs. Monica nevers wants any woman to walk alone after pregnancy loss or infertility struggles so the Rhea community was born out of her own personal circumstances where the community she needed and wanted didn’t exist. So she’s creating it. At Rhea, their mission is to empower women to step into their reproductive power.

This episode highlights the ongoing maternal health crisis in the U.S., a troubling reality for such a developed nation. It’s encouraging to see companies like Delfina tackling this issue, especially with a provider-first approach that supports clinicians under pressure. The return of doula support is also powerful—doulas truly can make a difference. For pregnant patients, Delfina offers peace of mind, access to vital information, and early insight into risks like pre-eclampsia.
