Welcome to the Evolution of Medicine podcast! This week, Mat Boulé, osteopath and posturologist, joins us to discuss his work on posture and health creation. In our Year of Resilience, it’s the perfect time for Mat to share his insight on the significant role posture plays in health resilience and how resolving patients’ mechanical issues can transform other important lab markers. But I think the biggest takeaway you’ll get from this episode is an understanding of why the best medical teams need practitioners who can support and improve structural integrity. It was a fascinating 30 minutes—enjoy! Highlights include:

• What posturology is, and how this medical discipline has the potential to revitalize health creation and resilience
• How resolving mechanical issues can transform important lab markers
• The interconnection among structure, posture and inflammatory markers
• The body-self matrix and how it relates to the biopsychosocial model of care
• And so much more!

Welcome to the Evolution of Medicine podcast! In this episode, James continues the Group Visit Series with Swathi Rao, PA-C, who owns and operates a functional medicine practice in Indianapolis, IN. What makes her practice unique is the focus on the power of community in conjunction with group visits to inspire lasting lifestyle change in her patients. In addition to running successful group visits in her practice, Swathi has tapped into the local community, like restaurants and yoga studios, to build new business and maintain the health of the patients she’s seeing in-clinic. It’s an interesting avenue of the group visit model that we haven’t yet explored on the Group Visit Series, and I think it will really impact your perspective on group visits and how they can become integral to the communities they service. Highlights of this episode include:

• Swathi’s journey to functional medicine and to discovering the power of group visits
• How she separates group events for patients and group medical visits when billing insurance
• How she leverages the value of the group visit community structure for the benefit of both her community and her patient base
• How Swathi maximizes peer-to-peer interaction in her group visits
• Her tried-and-true strategies for recruiting patients to group visits
• Why some of her best referrals aren’t coming from the usual sources
• Her profound advice for practitioners who are still on the fence about group visits
• And so much more!
