Building Medicine's Missing Link: Nutrition Meets Medical Care

Stephanie Misanik, MS, CNS, LDN, and a Clinical Director at Nava Health, built the largest team of certified nutrition specialists in the United States and has spent nearly a decade transforming how functional medicine integrates nutrition into patient care. In this episode of The Legacy and Longevity Podcast, she breaks down why food is the foundation of longevity medicine, how to personalize nutrition based on data instead of trends, and why your annual physical isn't enough. Stephanie shares her journey from debilitating anxiety in her twenties to leading clinical operations for 60,000+ patients, revealing what it takes to scale a medical practice without losing the human element. You'll learn why most doctors receive less than four hours of nutrition training, how to avoid getting married to diet dogma, and what success actually looks like when you're building something bigger than yourself. This is about stacking days, making hard choices, and creating health that lasts.
