What’s actually worth spending your money on, and what’s just a waste?

What if healthcare focused less on treating problems after they happen and more on helping you understand and optimize your health before they do? In this episode, Keith Bozeman shares his unexpected journey from a successful career in IT to founding Medgevity, a concierge medical service built around personalized, proactive care. He opens up about how his faith, personal experiences, and passion for health shaped his vision for a different approach to wellness, one rooted in science, prevention, and treating the whole person. Tune in to discover what inspired Keith to rethink traditional healthcare and what personalized wellness can look like when you take a more proactive approach to your health. About Keith Bozeman After decades of building and scaling an IT Company, Keith became a patient-looking for a more proactive, strategic approach to his health. He had a great doctor and experienced what healthcare could be: a physician who looked at the full picture, focused on prevention, and helped him think long term. But when he moved, that experience disappeared. Instead he found himself navigating the same fragmented system most people face-brief, insurance driven visits, disconnected providers and no clear strategy tying together fineness-nutrition and medicine. That frustration became the insight. Keith realized the problem wasn’t a lack of information-it was a lack of integration and science backed guidance. So as a patient first, he built what he couldn’t find: a physician-led, multidisciplinary model where experts collaborate around the patient, not in silos. That model became MEDgevity.
