  • 301: Predictive Care, Human First, With Dr. Trevor Turner, MD
    Jun 22 2026

    What if healthcare could identify disease before symptoms appear?

    And what if artificial intelligence could help physicians think better, not simply move faster?

    In this episode of The Human Side of Leadership in Healthcare, Dr. Pelè sits down with Trevor Turner, MD, Co-Founder of Provida Health, to explore the future of predictive, personalized medicine.

    Drawing from his experience caring for professional athletes, Special Operations personnel, and everyday patients, Trevor explains how genomics, wearables, imaging, and AI-powered clinical intelligence are transforming healthcare from a reactive system into a proactive one.

    But this conversation goes far beyond technology.

    Trevor shares his own journey through injury and recovery, explains why movement is foundational to long-term health, and reveals why the most important moments in medicine still require human connection, trust, and compassion.

    Together, they explore:

    • Why healthcare remains largely reactive
    • The difference between information and clinical intelligence
    • How AI can support physician judgment without replacing it
    • Why more data does not automatically create better outcomes
    • The role of emotional intelligence in healthcare leadership
    • What leaders can do today to move their organizations toward predictive care

    If you're interested in the future of healthcare, leadership, artificial intelligence, and the human experience of medicine, this conversation is for you.

  • 300: The Indoor Epidemic: Why Nature Is the Missing Medicine for Burnout, Sleep, and Performance, With John La Puma
    Jun 15 2026

    What if burnout isn't simply a workload problem?

    In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Pelè sits down with physician, chef, regenerative organic farmer, and two-time New York Times bestselling author Dr. John La Puma to explore a surprising idea: many of the health challenges we blame on stress, aging, and burnout may actually be linked to the fact that modern humans spend approximately 93% of their lives indoors.

    Drawing from more than 2,000 scientific studies and the research behind his new book, Indoor Epidemic, Dr. La Puma explains how natural light, fresh air, distance, movement, and time in nature directly influence sleep, mood, memory, focus, cardiovascular health, and even leadership performance.

    They discuss:

    • Why "nature is not a luxury, it's a biological requirement"

    • The concept of "digital obesity" and pixel overload

    • How morning light impacts deep sleep and brain health

    • What healthcare organizations can learn from hospital design research

    • Why burnout may actually be a symptom of under-restoration

    • The surprising minimum effective dose of nature for better performance

    Whether you're a healthcare leader, executive, clinician, or simply someone who spends too much time in front of a screen, this conversation may change the way you think about productivity, wellness, and the environments we create for ourselves and others.

  • 299: The EQ Zone: How Great Leaders Think Clearly Under Pressure, with Dr. Mickey Lebowitz
    Jun 10 2026

    Healthcare professionals are some of the smartest people in the world. Yet burnout, frustration, and emotional exhaustion continue to drive talented clinicians away from the work they love.

    In this episode, Dr. Mickey Lebowitz, physician, emotional intelligence expert, and author of The EQ Prescription, explains why the real challenge in healthcare is not a lack of knowledge. It is learning how to manage ourselves when the pressure is highest.

    We explore Dr. Mickey's powerful concept of the Emotional Intelligence Zone, why leaders often struggle under stress, and practical techniques for staying grounded when the heat is on.

    If you've ever wondered why knowing better doesn't always lead to doing better, this conversation is for you.
