About this listen

Dr. Adam Brown and Dr. Lara Zibners are back for Season 2 of Unstable Vitals, and they're wasting no time. After catching up on life, including Laura's Arctic Circle dog sledding adventure, Adam's new London life, Calla Lily's first Big Pharma partnership, and a spirited rant about Yorkshire pudding, the duo lays out their ambitious plan for the season ahead.

This episode introduces the "Five P's" framework that will guide Season 2: Politicians/Policymakers, People (patients), Providers, Payers, and Producers. They argue that fixing America's broken healthcare system requires engaging all five groups, and they plan to do exactly that through conversations with health tech founders, clinical innovators, device executives, regulators, and investors.

From the cost of estrogen gel in Europe vs. the U.S. to why walking to the grocery store might be better healthcare policy than anything coming out of Washington, this season promises to be equal parts hilarious and eye-opening.

Topics covered:

  • The "Five P's" of healthcare: the season's guiding framework
  • Public transportation, walkability, and downstream population health
  • Lifestyle medicine and transatlantic perspectives on healthcare costs
  • A preview of Season 2 guests and episodes
  • What Adam and Lara have been up to since last season
