What makes a MedTech idea worth building? ☝️ According to Isa Rizk, CEO of Reflow Medical, there are three things that have to align: 1️⃣ A real, unmet clinical need 2️⃣ Clinical evidence that shows the device works 3️⃣ A clear reimbursement path Without those, even the best ideas can struggle to make it off the ground.

What stays with doctors isn’t always the mistake... it’s the moment we hesitated. In this episode of the Life of Flow Podcast, we sat down with Dr. Anthony Back, MD, to talk about the quiet, personal weight physicians carry. The “what ifs,” the second-guessing, the thought loops that never really leave. This clip is raw, honest, and painfully familiar to anyone who’s ever trained in medicine. And it’s exactly where burnout often begins. 🎧 Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #62!

One of the most powerful parts of this episode is how openly we talk about the thought patterns that quietly wear physicians down. The loops that say: “You should’ve done more.” “You’re not good enough.” “You’ll never get it right.” In this conversation with Dr. Anthony Back, we explore how psilocybin is being studied not just as a treatment, but as a way to soften that inner critic, reconnect to your humanity, and remind you that you were never supposed to carry all of this alone. 🎧 Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #62!

COVID changed medicine... but not just because of the virus. Because of what it did to us. And most of us still haven’t said it out loud. 🎧 Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #62!

There’s a kind of pain in medicine that has nothing to do with outcomes. It’s when a patient walks away feeling used, and a physician walks away feeling nothing. When something as sacred as surgery starts to feel like a transaction, something’s been lost. This episode is a reminder: Technical success means nothing if emotional disconnection becomes the norm. And it’s that disconnection that quietly pulls many physicians away from the work they once loved. 🎧 Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #62!

Hospitals aren’t growing to care for more patients — they’re growing to manage more paperwork 📉 In the last decade, hospital administration has skyrocketed by 650%, while the number of doctors — the ones actually treating patients — has barely changed. And yet, somehow, physicians have lost more control over patient care than ever before. We sat down with @univision to talk about this shift, why doctors are feeling more disconnected from the system, and what happens when the people making the decisions aren’t the ones in the room with the patient. 👉 If you work in medicine, you’ve felt this. What’s one change you think needs to happen ASAP? Let’s talk in the comments.

The 3 rules that can reverse diabetes — no meds required. Most patients ignore them. The few who follow them? They drop their A1C from 12 to 5 in a MONTH — without medication. 1️⃣ If it’s sweet and liquid, don’t drink it. 2️⃣ If it comes in a box and has marketing all over it, don’t eat it. 3️⃣ Get a $20 stretch band and work a muscle group until it burns. It’s that simple — but almost no one does it. 🎧 Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #61!

A ticking time bomb inside your arteries? Medial artery calcification isn’t just another complication — it’s a silent killer hiding in plain sight. And the scariest part? It starts earlier than you think. 🔬 By age 30, calcification is already creeping in. 📈 By 70, it affects over 70-80% of people. ⚠️ Aging, diabetes, and kidney disease are fueling an epidemic doctors still don’t fully understand. So what’s causing this massive increase? And more importantly—what can we do about it? 🎧 Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #61!

Are we saving lives — or just buying time? In this Life of Flow podcast episode, Dr. Roberto Ferraresi pulls back the curtain on one of medicine’s toughest questions: 💰 How much money are we spending on procedures that don’t truly help? ⏳ Are we treating patients — or just prolonging suffering? ⚠️ Is industrial medicine making decisions for us? Surgeons love innovation. We push the limits of what’s possible. But at what cost? If we don’t make time to actually talk to patients, understand their needs, and rethink what quality of life really means… then who are we really helping? 🎧 Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #61!
