Quadruple board-certified physician Dr. Gerald Cox joins Dr. Ned Palmer for a thoughtful conversation on personalized medicine, obesity care, and the future of longevity. Dr. Cox reflects on his own childhood struggle with obesity and how it shaped his path from personal trainer to physician, ultimately leading him into concierge medicine where deeper relationships and individualized care take center stage.
Together, they explore how AI is reshaping clinical practice, why prevention will define the next era of healthcare, and what we can learn from the world’s Blue Zones about living longer, healthier lives. Dr. Cox explains his approach to personalized health plans, the power of motivational interviewing, and the role of precision genomics in cardiometabolic and longevity medicine.
What does truly personalized care look like in a system built for volume? And how can technology, motivation, and lifestyle-based medicine converge to meaningfully improve long-term health outcomes?
Dr. Cox closes the episode with reflections on passion, purpose, and his mission to combat medical misinformation through digital education, reminding us why the future of medicine depends on both innovation and empathy.
