Episode 80 – Training as Healthcare: Rethinking the Injury and Physical Therapy Continuum | Katie Dabrowski, DPT, CSCS
2026/04/13
Katie Dabrowski, DPT, CSCS Dr. Katie Dabrowski, PT, DPT, CSCS is a physical therapist, strength coach, and co-founder of Old Bull Athletics — a private practice in Miami, Florida built around treating movement as medicine and blending the worlds of strength training, performance, and rehabilitation. Her undergraduate work in psychology and neuroscience at Nova Southeastern University included a Divisional Honors Thesis comparing the effects of brain training and physical exercise on executive function, and she went on to earn her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Miami. She currently serves as an adjunct neuroscience faculty member at NSU and is an Advisory Board Member for the Society of Neurosports. In this episode of The Preventive Medicine Podcast, Dr. Dabrowski breaks down why she left the traditional PT model behind, how Old Bull Athletics was built to meet patients across the full spectrum of health — not just after injury — and what it actually looks like to use neuroscience and strength training together to build lasting resilience. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand where the future of musculoskeletal care is heading. Dr. Dabrowski’s Social Media: Instagram Link Show Notes Topics Covered: What preventive medicine means through Dr. Dabrowski’s lens as a neuroscience-trained PT and strength coach The origin story of Old Bull Athletics and why a 100% individualized, one-on-one model was the only way to deliver the care she believed in How her background as a former collegiate rower and researcher shaped her clinical philosophy around resilience and performance Shifting the patient mindset from reactive rehab to proactive durability — and the real barriers that get in the way Why Old Bull operates outside the insurance model and how to communicate the value of cash-pay PT to patients The rehab-to-training continuum: when does your PT also become your performance coach, and why that’s by design at Old Bull Her vision for physician-PT collaboration in a truly preventive care model — and how patients can learn to manage their own pain without unnecessary visits Where manual therapy fits (or doesn’t) within a strength and movement-first framework What she wishes physicians knew about optimizing transitions of care with physical therapists When individualized exercise selection matters and when general training is enough A practical, simple, effective exercise routine anyone can implement today Her 2-minute answer to “how do I get healthy?” Join our Mailing List HERE: Mailchimp
Episode 79 – Healthcare Reform, Prevention & Physicians in Politics: A Conversation with a Congressional Candidate | Darren McAuley, DO
2026/03/30
Darren McAuley, DO What happens when a physician with 24 years of military service, experience deploying to Baghdad, and a front-row seat to America’s most devastating hurricanes decides the exam room isn’t enough — and runs for Congress? In this episode of The Preventive Medicine Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Darren, founding chair of the Department of Osteopathic Medicine at Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine, Florida’s State Air Surgeon, and Democratic candidate for Florida’s 15th Congressional District. Dr. Darren has cared for soldiers in combat, coordinated medical responses after catastrophic storms, and trained the next generation of physicians — and now he’s bringing that lens into the political arena. This conversation goes deep on what it actually takes to fix American healthcare — not from a policy wonk’s perspective, but from someone who has lived it on the ground, in uniform, and in the clinic. If you’ve ever wondered why healthcare got so political, who’s really blocking reform, and what a physician-legislator could do differently, this episode is for you. Disclaimer: This podcast is not a political endorsement. Dr. McAuley’s Social Media Instagram Link Show Notes Topics Covered: Defining Preventive Medicine — What the term means beyond the clinic, and why it’s a philosophy as much as a specialty. From Flight Surgeon to Congressional Candidate — The journey that took Dr. Darren from the military and the hospital to the campaign trail, and the moment he decided medicine alone wasn’t enough. The Intersection of Politics and Healthcare — How and why healthcare became a political football, and what it looks like from inside the system. The Physician’s Unique Political Perspective — What doctors see that politicians don’t — and why that gap in understanding is costing lives. Medicare for All & Universal Coverage — Dr. Darren’s honest take on single-payer models and how caring for veterans shaped his views on what Americans deserve. Who’s Blocking Reform — and What Can Actually Be Done — The biggest institutional players resisting change, and realistic paths forward on cost, access, and outcomes. Lessons Learned Across a Career — How Dr. Darren’s views on healthcare delivery have evolved across military medicine, disaster response, and academic medicine. Physicians in Politics — Why more doctors should run for office, and what the medical community can contribute to governance.

Episode 78 – The Business of Getting People Better: Private Practice, Preventive MSK Care, and What No One Tells Young Physicians | Brad Sorosky, MD
2026/03/23
Brad Sorosky, MD What does it actually take to build a private practice from scratch — and keep it alive? In this episode, Dr. Sharma sits down with a physician who has done exactly that. A Northwestern-trained physiatrist and fellowship-trained spine and sports medicine specialist, today’s guest founded Desert Spine and Sports Physicians and has led it as CEO since its inception — earning Top Doc recognition in Phoenix every year since 2009. The conversation goes deep on the philosophy behind function-first MSK care, the operational realities of private practice ownership, and why the current healthcare system is structurally built against the kind of preventive, patient-centered medicine both physicians believe in. This isn’t a polished origin story — it’s an honest, unfiltered look at the business of medicine, the ethics of care delivery, and what it takes to build something that lasts. If you’re a physician thinking about private practice, a patient trying to understand why the system feels broken, or simply someone who wants to know how to actually get and stay healthy — this episode is for you. Desert Spine Social Media: Instagram Link Linkedin Youtube Show Notes What Preventive Medicine Actually Means — How today’s guest defines preventive medicine in the context of spine and MSK care, and why the word gets misused in modern healthcare. Function-First Philosophy — The origin of Desert Spine’s approach to MSK care centered on restoring and maintaining function rather than chasing symptom relief. What shaped this perspective and why it diverges from conventional practice. Starting a Practice from Scratch — The decision to build rather than join. What the early operational phase actually looked like, which systems and decisions made the biggest difference in getting to sustainability, and what most physicians underestimate going in. Why Private Practices Fail in Years 1–5 — The most common reasons practices don’t survive their first few years: financial miscalculation, operational blind spots, physician burnout, and loss of clinical identity under business pressure. How Reimbursement Models Work Against Prevention — A frank breakdown of how current fee-for-service and value-based payment structures disincentivize the kind of care that actually keeps patients healthy long-term. Navigating the Insurance Landscape — The practical reality of getting paid as a private practice. Credentialing, contracting, billing infrastructure, and how to build a system that doesn’t hemorrhage revenue. When Patient Care and Business Reality Conflict — Real talk on the moments every practice owner faces: when doing right by the patient costs the practice money. How to build systems and a culture that protect clinical quality even under financial pressure. Two-Minute Health Advice — If someone walks up and asks how to get healthy, what does a Top Doc physiatrist actually tell them? Honest Advice for Physicians Considering Private Practice — What today’s guest wishes someone had told them. What the business schools don’t cover, what the idealism misses, and what the rewards actually look like on the other side. Join our Mailing List HERE: Mailchimp

Episode 76 | A System Made of Accidents: The Hidden History Behind U.S. Healthcare – Ragav Sharma, DO
2025/11/26
Ragav Sharma, DO In this episode, we break down the surprising and often overlooked history of how the U.S. healthcare system came to be—not through strategy or design, but through a series of accidents, policy compromises, and economic incentives that spiraled into today’s crisis.We explore the roots of employer-based insurance, the rise of fee-for-service reimbursement, the unintended consequences of Medicare and the Affordable Care Act, and how hospitals, insurers, and physicians evolved into the fragmented landscape we live with today. From the explosive growth of consolidation to the misaligned incentives driving costs, access issues, and burnout, this episode explains why American healthcare works exactly as it does—and why fixing it requires understanding its origins.Whether you’re a clinician, policymaker, administrator, or simply a curious listener trying to understand why U.S. healthcare is so complex and costly, this deep dive uncovers the structural forces that still shape the system. You’ll learn how major policy decisions, market power, and historical quirks created the misaligned incentives that fuel skyrocketing prices, consolidation, administrative waste, and persistent inequities.

Episode 75 | The Deep Dive on Resistance Training; The Hidden Secrets Your Doctor Doesn’t Tell You – Ragav Sharma, DO
2025/11/19
Ragav Sharma, DO Ragav Sharma, DO is a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) physician with training in interventional spine and musculoskeletal medicine. He formerly set powerlifting records and has also completed several races including ultramarathons. He is an avid proponent of resistance training and has coached others, obtaining a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification, for both general health and powerlifting goals. In this episode, Dr. Ragav Sharma breaks down the science and strategy behind resistance training — one of the most powerful tools for improving long-term health, performance, and longevity. We explore what the evidence says about strength training for muscle growth, fat loss, metabolic health, injury prevention, and healthy aging. If you’ve ever wondered how often to lift, what exercises actually matter, or whether resistance training is “safe,” this episode gives you the no-nonsense, research-driven answers.  Dr. Sharma's Social Media Instagram Link Show Notes What Is Resistance Training?Resistance training involves contracting skeletal muscle against external resistance to challenge strength and stimulate muscle growth. That resistance can come from:Bodyweight exercisesFree weights (dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells)Resistance bandsMachinesHousehold objects (backpacks, water jugs, cinder blocks)Strength training is not just for athletes or bodybuilders. It is one of the most potent therapeutic tools we have for improving overall function, mobility, and longevity — and it should be accessible to everyone.The Evidence-Based Benefits of Resistance Training1. Improved Body CompositionResistance training:Increases fat-free mass (muscle)Reduces overall and visceral fatHelps preserve muscle during weight loss or GLP-1/GIP therapyPredicts lower mortality independent of BMIMuscle is metabolically protective. Higher muscle mass is associated with a lower risk of chronic disease and death, even in those with a high BMI.2. Stronger Bones and Lower Fracture RiskBone density peaks around age 25–30 and declines after 40, especially in women. Walking alone does little for bone mineral density.Mechanical loading — squats, deadlifts, step-ups, weighted carries — is essential for:Increasing bone densitySlowing osteopenia and osteoporosisReducing fracture riskMaintaining physical function later in lifeOne of the strongest demonstrations is the Lift More Trial, where women 60+ with diagnosed osteoporosis safely performed heavy squats and deadlifts twice per week. They improved bone density significantly, with only one mild strain in over 2,600 sessions.3. Cardiovascular BenefitsMany people assume aerobics is the only way to protect the heart. The data tells a different story:Any resistance training → 19% lower cardiovascular mortalityImproves LDL, HDL, triglycerides, blood pressureEnhances functional capacity in heart failure patientsThe best results come from combining aerobic exercise with strength training — but strength training alone has a meaningful impact.4. Improved Metabolic HealthStrength training increases insulin sensitivity through GLUT4 upregulation and:Lowers HbA1c in both type 1 and type 2 diabetesReduces visceral fat, a major driver of insulin resistanceImproves metabolic flexibilityFor people unable to tolerate high-impact cardio, resistance training becomes even more important.5. Mental Health BenefitsThe psychological benefits are just as powerful:Significantly reduces anxiety symptomsLowers depressive symptoms in adolescents and adultsBenefits occur regardless of strength gainsSimply engaging in resistance training reliably improves mood and mental well-being.6. Reduction in Chronic PainMovement is medicine — and resistance training consistently reduces pain:Decreases chronic low back painImproves pain and function in knee osteoarthritisHelps patients with fibromyalgia reduce fatigue and tender...
