    The longevity boom is full of supplements, hacks, and expensive routines, but most of it ignores the simplest lever we already know works. If movement is the most studied “drug” for healthy aging, why are so many people still stuck on the sidelines?

    Dr. Jordan Metzl, Author of The Athlete’s Book of Home Remedies joins CareTalk host John Driscoll, Chairman of UConn Health, to discuss why exercise is the most powerful prescription for healthspan, how motivation can be built through practical behavior change, and how strength and community can help prevent chronic disease over the long run.

  • Building Better GLP-1 Care at Scale w/ Dr. Myra Ahmad, CEO & Founder, Mochi Health
    Feb 5 2026

    Send us a text

    Demand for GLP-1 medications has exploded in recent years. What started as a diabetes treatment has quickly become one of the most talked-about forces in healthcare, reshaping how we think about obesity, metabolic disease, access, affordability, and long-term care.

    But with rapid growth comes confusion: questions about safety, cost, supply constraints, and whether the current system is actually capable of supporting patients for the long haul.

    Dr. Myra Ahmad, Founder and CEO of Mochi Health joins CareTalk host David E. Williams to discuss what’s getting lost in the GLP-1 conversation, why most care models are not built for long-term obesity treatment, and how Mochi is approaching physician-guided metabolic care at scale.

    🎙️⚕️ABOUT MYRA AHMAD
    Founder and CEO of Mochi Health, Myra Ahmad, launched Mochi in 2022 to address the overwhelming inaccessibility of quality obesity treatment but has since expanded access to evidence-based care and empowered patients to make customized treatment plans with their provider using any of Mochi's 150+ offerings. With this, Dr. Ahmad is pushing the limits of health tech and accessibility, all while fighting back against the established healthcare system who aim to keep their monopoly on healthcare.

    Under her leadership, Mochi has grown into an expansive network of over 400 affiliated healthcare providers and is building the future of tech-enabled care. Mochi's comprehensive platform enables seamless communication between pharmacies and providers, features a proprietary electronic medical record system, and incorporates AI transcription tools to reduce physicians' administrative workload in favor of a greater focus on patient-centric care.

    Dr. Ahmad also received her MD from the University of Washington School of Medicine and has held research positions at the MIT Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, UCSF Medical Center, and University of California, San Francisco. She now leads a corporate team of over 60 employees and is growing out of Mochi's headquarters in San Francisco.

    🎙️⚕️ABOUT MOCHI HEALTH
    Mochi Health is setting the new standard for personalized medicine, combining increased access to life-changing medication, physician-guided telemedicine care, and an integrated approach to treatment. Patients can choose between medication and nutrition-based weight loss treatments, personalized by their team of board-certified doctors and registered dietitians.

  • Clinicians Need AI Literacy Now
    Feb 4 2026

    Send us a text

    How deep into AI do clinicians really need to go?

    In this clip from our episode "Making Healthcare Massively Better", CareTalk host John Driscoll speaks with Halle Tecco about why becoming AI-literate is the only way to build real guardrails as patients use tools like ChatGPT at scale.

    Listen to the full episode here

    🎙️⚕️ABOUT HALLE TECCO
    I’ve spent my career working to fix what’s broken in healthcare, and support those trying to do the same. I’ve been investing in the future of healthcare since 2010 as an angel, LP, and the founder of Rock Health.

    Over the years, I’ve backed and advised dozens of healthcare startups, and today I serve on the boards of Cofertility and Collective Health.

    I’m an Adjunct Professor at Columbia Business School, where I created and have taught the first MBA-level course on digital health investing since 2015. I’m also Course Director at Harvard Medical School, where I teach a course on healthcare innovation.

    When I first ventured into digital health, there were no guides—and most of the old guard wasn’t exactly welcoming. But now, I am the old guard 😉. And I believe healthcare needs all the talent it can get. That’s why I teach, write, and share insights through my podcast and upcoming book.
