In this episode of the Health Further podcast, hosts Vic and Marcus sit down with former U.S. Senate Majority Leader and heart transplant surgeon, Senator Bill Frist, to explore the intersection of environmental policy, healthcare, and innovation. Senator Frist discusses his role as Global Board Chair of The Nature Conservancy and why climate change and biodiversity loss are now the greatest threats to human health. He shares stories from his recent trip to the Amazon, the medical breakthroughs enabled by nature, and how depolarizing political issues is key to scalable solutions. They dive into healthcare’s role in emissions, the need for planetary and human health integration, and how medical education must adapt to address climate-linked diseases and health crises.
