Episode 057 | Dermatologists like me — rightfully so — spend a lot of time talking about the short and long-term harmful effects of UV light from the sun. Those are plentiful and very real.However, most of us don't spend enough time talking about the benefits of controlled, moderate doses of UV light and the things we can do to Sun Responsibly beyond just sunscreen, clothing, and avoidance. That's why I get so much inspiration and knowledge from Dr. Katie Varman.Dr. Varman is a board-certified dermatologist and owner of Shine Functional Dermatology located at 566 E St. Lincoln, CA 95648 and Shine Nutraceuticals, LLC.She has a special interest in photo-dermatology and phototherapy and enjoys teaching patients and colleagues about the interaction between sunlight, skin, and the immune system. Her commitment to functional medicine shapes her approach to care, and she is dedicated to reversing chronic skin conditions with diet and lifestyle interventions.Dr. Varman is a graduate of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine where she graduated with Research Distinction after completing a Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellowship at the University of North Carolina (UNC), Chapel Hill. She later completed dermatology residency at UNC before moving with her family to Northern California and accepting a position with The Permanente Medical Group. After five years of employment, she chose to develop a new approach to dermatologic care and opened Shine Functional Dermatology.  Based on a deep understanding of photo-dermatology, Dr. Varman has a special interest in the development of nutraceuticals that support our bodies' innate management of sunlight. The goal of her work in this area is to allow the body to get the sunlight that it needs for optimal health and wellness without taking on unnecessary risk of skin cancer and photo-aging. SolcareMD is the first of the Daily Defense line borne of Dr. Varman's experience in photomedicine and integrative dermatology.Outside of the office, Dr. Varman is a homesteader and enjoys an active farm life with her husband and children.This episode was recorded on April 7th, 2025.Connect with and learn from Dr. VarmanShine Nutraceuticals / SolcareMDShine Functional DermatologyDr. Varman's Blog: The Sunlight [email protected] from Dr. Lewellis and Above & Beyond DermatologyNeed a dermatologist?

We'll take time to listen to yours."Want more? So do I. Dr. Sung explains on PerqMD.com: “After a decade in dermatology, I’ve seen how large clinics often leave patients feeling rushed and unheard. It became clear that effective treatment wasn’t enough.  Patients deserve more: more time, more empathy, more personalized care.So, we created The Perq. Here, you’re treated as an individual, not a number. We take the time to understand your needs, provide exceptional care, and create a medical experience you’ll look forward to.”Day after day, my patients tell me how they're fed up with 5-minute dermatologists. Well, folks, Dr. Sung is listening, and she ain't no 5-minute derm.Dr. Sung's impressive background includes training at the University of Southern California, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, and with the United States Air Force.

Episode 054 | Today's episode is all about helping you empower your patients who want to be proactive about scar refinement and optimization. Most dermatologists perform procedures multiple times a day that will undoubtedly result in a scar. While we routinely inform our patients about this as part of the informed consent process, there tends to be far less routine discussion about how patients can optimize the appearance of those inevitable scars. We can and should do better. My guest is Lisa Massaad, Senior Director of Global Marketing & Business Development at Newmedical Technology, makers of the physician exclusive Silagen Scar Refinement System.   Ms. Massaad joined the Newmedical team in 2014 in anticipation of the launch of the Silagen professional line. She manages all aspects of global brand management for the Silagen and NewGel+ brands and serves as team lead for new product development projects. In addition to having extensive knowledge about the Silagen Scar Refinement System, she also has personal experience using it, which she shares in this episode.Ms. Massaad has 14 years of pharmaceutical industry sales experience, including six years as an award-winning Regional Sales Director. She joined Advanced Bio-Technologies, Inc. as the National Sales Manager and built its outside sales team. She has directed professional, consumer, and international marketing, including the launch of seven new products, while with ABT/enaltus/Sinclair IS Pharma.Lisa received a B.A. in Political Science from Allegheny College and an M.A. in Communications/PR from Kent State University.I'd like to extend a huge thank you to the whole team at Newmedical Technology for their generous support of this episode and their dedication to scar refinement and optimization. If you'd like to connect with them to learn more about how you can support your patients with Silagen products, you can contact them here.This episode was recorded at their headquarters in Northbrook, IL where I had the opportunity to meet with leadership and tour their remarkable manufacturing and packaging facility.

Episode 041 | ***Please note that this episode was recorded in October 2024 and is being published on January 16, 2025. Dr. Swigost's tale has evolved in some big ways since that time, including the announcement of the imminent closure of Dapper Dermatology in Austin, TX on 2/28/2025. Adam shared with me that he has no regrets about this experience, and I believe it. He's undoubtedly more prepared now than ever to serve his patients in the way that suits him best. (Suits! Dapper! The PUNisher, Dr. Aamir Hussain, will hopefully appreciate this.) If you love him like I do and want to know more, stay tuned for future episodes or reach out to him directly to say hello. Now on with the show!***  Dr. Adam Swigost is a board-certified dermatologist and entrepreneur. He founded Dapper Dermatology, which started as North Dakota's first and only entirely virtual dermatology clinic and evolved into a full service direct care dermatology clinic located in Austin, TX (closing 2/28/2025 as discussed above). Above all, Dr. Swigost is an advocate for physician autonomy and reinvigorating the patient-physician relationship, and he will no doubt bring an outstanding and innovative suite of services to wherever he is headed next.He completed his undergraduate degrees and medical training at the University of North Dakota. He completed his internship through the University of Central Florida in Ocala, FL, and his dermatology residency at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital and Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC. He is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, and the Gay and Lesbian Dermatology Association.If you aren't one of the 186 people (or 86 people plus my mom 100 times -- thanks, Ma!) who have listened to Episode 004 published on January 11th, 2024 back when the show was still called The Direct Care Derm, I highly recommend you check that out first and then come back to this episode. You'll have fun learning about Dr. Swigost's origin story, and you'll get to hear me suck at podcasting way more than I do now. Win-win!

For all who celebrated, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. I'm grateful to all of you who have listened to the show so far.Instead of selling you something on Black Friday, I want to give you something.What you're about to hear is an unfinished draft of an e-book I started many months ago. While I never ended up finishing it, it contains a lot of valuable information, much of which I frequently discuss during consultations with my patients. In the spirit of not letting perfect be the enemy of good, I offer it to you here as a short, unfinished audio book. If it sounds a bit different to you than usual if you're a regular listener or a bit odd in general if you're a new listener, it's because the audio was generated using an AI clone of my voice with the help of Eleven Labs (affiliate link). Please excuse any pronunciation errors or hallucinations. Speech generation models can hallucinate just like text based generative AI models do. The difference between this and my actual voice will only become less obvious over time, so I'll always disclose when an artificial voice rendering is being used.I hope you learn something. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me at 715-391-9774 or [email protected]  if you have any questions or comments.More from Dr. LewellisNeed a dermatologist?

Episode 036 | David Lipman, DC, a seasoned chiropractic physician and owner of Physical Evidence Chiropractic in Boca Raton, FL, has successfully treated thousands of patients. With a deep personal commitment to bio-optimization, Dr. Lipman has achieved extraordinary levels of strength, endurance, and overall health well into his 60s. His mission is to share the knowledge and processes that have profoundly benefited his life, helping others achieve optimal health and wellness.Dr. Lipman provides his patients with expert diagnosis, non-addictive pain relief, swift corrective care for present conditions, and education in preventative care. His chiropractic practice is a reflection of his personal journey as a patient who experienced significant injuries from a young age and found chiropractic care to be the solution. Combining this with his personal fitness program, Dr. Lipman has gained unique insights into managing musculoskeletal pain both personally and professionally. He offers maintenance solutions to keep his patients pain-free and functional, despite acute or chronic injury.Dr. Lipman's experiences with pain and his education have given him a unique perspective on patient care. He believes that while most healthcare providers focus on structural damage as the cause of musculoskeletal pain, the real issue often lies in the body's mechanical compensation for that damage. By correcting this dysfunction rather than merely treating the pain, Dr. Lipman helps his patients achieve lasting relief. Over time, he has incorporated cutting-edge therapies and devices, such as Deep Tissue Laser Therapy, Whole Body Vibration, Mechanical Motion Therapy, Whole Body Cryotherapy, and Photo Bio Modulation Therapy, to quickly and safely resolve issues.Proud to offer progressive therapies not commonly found in other practices, Dr. Lipman is dedicated to providing empathetic, effective, and proactive relief. His philosophy addresses the daily stressors that impact natural weight-bearing and movement mechanics, which often lead to musculoskeletal problems. With experience owning and operating several fitness-club based healthcare practices, Dr. Lipman is committed to helping patients of all ages achieve pain-free and fit lives, enhancing their structural integrity and overall well-being.Tune in to my conversation with Dr. David Lipman for a far-reaching conversation with a fellow practice owner who has built a great life and a great business by going to bat to help people the best way he knows how. I love learning from practice owners in other fields.

Episode 031 | Michael Hersh, MD is a practicing gastroenterologist, coach, and founder of Better Physician Life. When he became an attending in 2009, he hit the ground running. Like many of us, he was excited to build his practice and engage with patients. He joined a small multispecialty group and took on as many leadership opportunities as he could find. If there was a committee that needed a young, eager physician, he was the guy. His position in the group blossomed, and he became a well-respected physician in his community.Everything changed in 2014, as he tells it, with the birth of his daughter.  He went from having all of the time he needed for everything he wanted to do, to realizing that every patient and committee meant trading valuable family time for his career.  He slowly backed away from the leadership roles, but the extra time quickly became filled with patient care.  The more he tried to slow down, the faster everything seemed to move and the less control he had over his day.  His family grew even more with the birth of his son in 2017.  He stepped away from other activities outside of the home, but was never quite able to untangle himself from the complexities of patient care.Like so many other physicians, he had fallen prey to a mutual fund company and needed to figure out his finances immediately.  In his journey to learn as much as possible about that, he found the solution to his problem: The financial independence community.  He devoured all of the information he could find and pursued financial independence like it was his only job.   He knew that if he could achieve that, he would finally get to live the life he wanted.  He could finally carve time out of his day to be with his family.  But once he got on the path, nothing changed.  He was still working just as hard as before. Scrolling social media one day, he came across physician coaching and looked into it with a healthy dose of skepticisim. He soon typed out the words that would change everything: Something needs to change, but I don’t know where to start.  When he saw those words in front of him, his decision became clear.  He took a huge leap of faith and invested in himself.He continues to practice as a gastroenterologist and also runs his own physician coaching business, Better Physician Life.

She thinks it's important to work together as a team and is always happy to do so in English or Spanish. Much like me, Dr. Londoño's goal is to improve and maintain the overall health of her patients. This isn't something that's easy to find in a specialist, especially in a field that can rely much more on procedures than nuanced improvement of health and coaching. She aims to empower you with an understanding of your condition and share with you a comprehensive wellness plan so you can be on a path to life long well being.The treatments she offers are both medical and surgical. She uses open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted techniques for surgical procedures.Not surprisingly, Dr. Londono received the 2022 Physician Leadership Award from the Los Angeles County Medical Association.

He went on to complete his residency at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. While at Stanford, Dr. Soleymani worked with world-renowned experts in cutaneous oncology and complex skin diseases. Following residency, he completed a rigorous fellowship in Mohs Micrographic Surgery, Cutaneous Oncology, and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Zitelli and Brodland Skin Cancer Center under the tutelage of John Zitelli, M.D. Considered by many to be the world’s most prestigious and competitive fellowship, the program is directed by both John Zitelli, M.D. and David Brodland, M.D, widely considered to be two of the pre-eminent authorities in Mohs surgery.
