What happens when a board-certified orthopedic surgeon steps away from the surgery machine?

In this episode, Dr. Joshua Schacter shares why he left a high-volume, surgery-first model to build the Pinnacle Method, a more comprehensive approach to chronic joint pain. His core belief is simple: joint pain is rarely just a joint problem.

Dr. Kevin White and Dr. Schacter break down why so many patients continue to struggle after steroid injections, physical therapy, or even surgery. They discuss insulin resistance, systemic inflammation, hormone shifts, and why the joint often acts as a signal for deeper metabolic stress. You will leave with a clearer way to think about arthritis, aging, and what actually drives long-term results.

“Your health is worth more than a $20 copay.”

This conversation is not about avoiding surgery at all costs. It is about asking better questions before you cut and treating the whole person, not just the X-ray.

Peptides are everywhere right now. So are strong opinions about them. In this episode, Heather returns to talk candidly about injury, healing, and what led her to try peptides when nothing else seemed to help. Along the way, the conversation widens into something bigger: our cultural pull toward finding a pill instead of slowing down to understand what the body is actually asking for.

Dr. Kevin White breaks down peptides in plain language, explains why so much of the conversation lives in gray areas, and why caution, sourcing, and context matter more than trends. They also talk honestly about perimenopause, hot flashes, hormones, and why changes can feel sudden even when they’re part of a longer story.

“A lot of what people swear by right now is lived experience, not clean data.”

This is not a pitch. It’s a real conversation about curiosity, restraint, and how to think clearly when the internet is loud and your body is sending mixed signals.

Real estate developer Gary Brooks spent decades building some of Oklahoma City’s most ambitious projects. But after years of chronic stress, heart surgery, and a family cancer diagnosis, he reached a breaking point. When he finally stepped away, he realized something unsettling: success had masked how unhealthy he had become.

In this episode, Dr. Kevin White sits down with Gary to trace how that personal wake-up call turned into a larger sense of responsibility. Gary shares how learning to track sleep, stress, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk reshaped the way he understood health, and why “normal” lab work had quietly failed to tell the full story. As his own health improved, the question shifted outward: what happens when you realize your friends, your workforce, and your city may be heading down the same path?

That realization became the catalyst for the Healthy City by 2040 summit. Gary explains why the event is not about trends or quick fixes, but about creating a credible starting point for prevention, personal agency, and long-term health at scale. The conversation explores why Oklahoma City’s health rankings matter, how mental health and environment shape physical outcomes, and why empowering people with better tools may be the most meaningful intervention of all.

If you’ve ever felt worn down beneath outward success, or wondered how personal change can ripple outward into something that serves others, this episode offers a grounded reminder: transformation often begins when one person decides not to accept the status quo anymore.
