Beyond Burnout: The Doctor Who Made Medicine Human Again

He left insurance-driven medicine to build something better. In this episode of The TBD Fit Podcast, Dr. Clint Carter describes leaving a burned-out emergency room career to build a direct primary care practice that gives patients hour-long visits, real-time text access, and at-cost procedures—replacing rushed, insurance-driven medicine with a relationship-first model. He shares how addressing his own thyroid and low testosterone issues opened the door to bioidentical hormone therapy, gluten-light, and low-inflammatory living, which now inform how he helps patients who ‘do everything right’ yet still feel exhausted and foggy. We also dive into how modern bioidentical hormone regimens can support cognition, cardiovascular health, inflammation, sleep, and vitality.-----Dr. Clint Carter is a family physician and former emergency room doctor who burned out on assembly-line medicine and built something better: MyMD Select, a direct primary care practice in Tyler, Texas. For over a decade, he’s pioneered a relationship-first model that gives patients same- or next-day access, hour-long visits, and transparent, at-cost services without insurance red tape. Clint also partners with employers to offer fixed, predictable per-employee pricing that reduces absenteeism, cuts unnecessary emergency room and workers’ comp claims, and boosts retention by delivering care people actually use. His mission now is expanding direct primary care across East Texas and beyond, restoring dignity, clarity, and impact to healthcare while helping purpose-driven clinicians thrive.-----Dr. Clint CarterWebsite: ⁠www.mymdselect.com⁠Facebook: ⁠www.facebook.com/tylertxmymdselect⁠Instagram: ⁠www.instagram.com/mymdselecttyler⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠www.linkedin.com/company/mymd-select-east-texas⁠-----Connect with Dr.ChilleConnect with the Host Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tbdfit.com/⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tbdfit/⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/TotalBodyDiagnostics⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TotalBodyDiagnostics⁠⁠⁠ Discovery Call: ⁠⁠https://calendly.com/dchille/drchillediscoverycall?month=2025-10 ----MUSIC CREDITSCaptured in Time - Instrumental version created byfeinsmeckerArtlist Song License Certificate: Link-----Produced by DrTalks: https://drtalks.com/podcast
