Becoming a Trusted Voice in Healthcare: What Most Doctors Overlook

In today’s digital age, having medical expertise isn’t enough—doctors also need to know how to communicate clearly, connect with the public, and build trust at scale.In this episode of the Med Story Podcast, host Spencer Lalk sits down with Dr. Nate Wood—Yale-trained physician, chef, and Director of Culinary Medicine—to explore what most doctors overlook when trying to educate patients or reach broader audiences.You’ll hear how Dr. Wood transitioned from academic medicine to national media features like Good Morning America and The New York Times, and why clear, relatable communication is now a must-have skill—not a nice-to-have.Inside this conversation: the #1 mistake doctors make when speaking to non-clinicians, how to simplify complex science without losing credibility, what it really takes to land media features and grow your personal brand, and why being “media-trained” matters more than ever in the fight against misinformation.🎙️ Want to be a guest on the podcast?
