Guest Bio – Dr. Josh Emdur:
Dr. Emdur is a clinician and physician leader with a passion for innovation in primary care. He has held a board certification in family medicine since 2007 and is licensed to practice medicine in over 25 states. He spent over a decade treating the sick in the hospital prior to becoming the Chief Medical Officer at SteadyMD where he launched the world's first personal physician service especially for runners that is entirely online. While caring for hospitalized patients he learned that health is achieved outside of the hospital. His medical approach focuses on using lifestyle to treat chronic diseases and using medication only when lifestyle modifications aren’t enough.

His interests include using technology to improve the doctor-patient relationship and exploring alternative payment models for health care outside of traditional insurance. When asked what fuels him in life his response is clear “passion”. Whether it is climbing big walls in Yosemite, striving for marathon personal bests, skiing big backcountry lines in the high mountains, or just being the best human he can it is obvious that he is driven by challenges and excellence.
