They argue that fixing America's broken healthcare system requires engaging all five groups, and they plan to do exactly that through conversations with health tech founders, clinical innovators, device executives, regulators, and investors.From the cost of estrogen gel in Europe vs. the U.S. to why walking to the grocery store might be better healthcare policy than anything coming out of Washington, this season promises to be equal parts hilarious and eye-opening.Topics covered:The "Five P's" of healthcare: the season's guiding frameworkPublic transportation, walkability, and downstream population healthLifestyle medicine and transatlantic perspectives on healthcare costsA preview of Season 2 guests and episodesWhat Adam and Lara have been up to since last seasonFollow Unstable Vitals on LinkedIn to stay connected.
