Stay Off My Operating Table Dr. Tro & Team: a New, Patient-Centric Model for Healthcare - #75
Dr. Tro Kalayjian - a formerly 350-pound doctor - had to unlearn much of what he'd been taught in medical school to get his health back.
Dr. Laura Buchanan - a former athlete - had the same sort of experience. She learned early on that she wanted to integrate metabolic health into her medical practice.
Despite having different backgrounds in both personal health and medicine, Dr. Tro and Dr. Laura now collaborate to give their patients the best care possible. To address the underlying reason for a patient's health issues, the healthcare team considers the patient’s strengths, weaknesses, failures, and even appetites. They call this "patient bonding." It's a way to establish trust and rapport with the patient.
In this episode, these two doctors share their perspectives on what drives the messaging for nutrition, their passion for establishing rapport and connection with patients, and the future of health tech.
Listen until the end to know their fantastic announcement to help your health improve.
