In their conversation, Brian, Jen, and David talk about the horrible internal and external effects of addiction, Jen and David's journey together as a couple and as partners in teaching people about metabolic health, the mental aspects of metabolic health, the value of hope and giving people hope, listening to patients and helping them define their goals, the importance of maintaining our relationships with loved ones, remote medical monitoring devices, the impacts of stress and how to reduce it, the process of empowering a patient to activate in the achievement of their own health goals, why focusing on patients rather than on money makes you more successful.
