"Crap In, Crap Out:" Dr. Mistry and Monica McKitterick, PA-C, on Lifestyle vs. Pharmaceutical Interventions

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined by special guest Monica McKitterick, PA-C, of Impact Family Wellness. Ms. McKitterick is a primary care provider who operates on a direct primary care model. DPC is a model of care that prioritizes patients over insurance companies and includes access to your primary physician 24/7. Rather than billing through and answering to your insurance company, your DPC Provider is more concerned with making sure you get the time and attention you need. Membership rates are between $59-$89 per month, and for that price, you receive unlimited access to your office in terms of in-office procedures, in office visits, virtual visits, in office testing, and direct access to their provider cell phone number so patients can call or text whenever they need! Today, Ms. McKitterick and Dr. Mistry discuss the modern dilemma of over prescription of pharmaceutical drugs, leading to patients being dependent on multiple medications which often don't even address the root cause of the problem being treated. Ms. McKitterick explains how the DPC model allows her the freedom to have longer, more productive conversations with her patients about their health and the proactive steps they can take to get and remain well. Rather than just prescribing a pill for every little issue that arises, Dr. Mistry and Ms. McKitterick both believe in approaching health holistically and advocating for lifestyle modifications which pay back dividends for patients.
