Tim Boyle – The Front Desk Problem: Why Good Practices Still Lose Money (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tim Boyle, Director of Sales and Business Development at Reva Global Medical and a former professional hockey player, joins Dr. Michael Jerkins to talk about the part of private practice nobody trains you for: the operations. His argument is that most physician-owned practices don't struggle because of medicine — they struggle because scheduling, insurance verification, prior authorizations, and claims follow-up all land on the same overloaded desk, and every task that gets dropped is revenue th
Jillian Vestal, JD – Contracts Beyond Salary: The Silent Architect of a Doctor’s Career (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A doctor signs on for one clinic and later learns the employer can reassign them across town, legally, because of one clause they skimmed. Jillian Vestal, who specializes in doctor contracts, joins Dr. Michael Jerkins to break down the terms that quietly decide where you work, when you work, and where you're allowed to go next. She starts with the phrase that appears in nearly every agreement and protects almost nothing: "at the discretion of the employer." It can hand over your location, your s
Gerald Cox, MD and Anafer Barrera, RDN- Engineered to Crave: How Big Food Hijacked the American Plate (Part 2) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dr. Gerald A. Cox and registered dietitian Anafer Barrera join host Dr. Ned Palmer for the second installment of the three-part series, moving the conversation about ultra-processed foods out of the abstract and into the exam room.

Dr. Cox and Anafer make the case that every nutrition conversation starts with tone. Before a
Casey Wiley, M.Ed — The $50,000 Cliff: How the New Loan Rules Are Quietly Rewriting Who Gets to Become a Doctor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Casey Wiley joins Dr. Michael Jerkins to unpack the biggest shift in medical school financing in decades: the July 2026 elimination of Grad PLUS loans under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. For roughly twenty years, students could borrow up to the full cost of attendance. Now federal borrowing is capped at $50,000 a year—and for many trainees, that opens a funding gap of $25,000, $70,000, or more. Casey, the mind behind the Med School Money Guy channel, walks through what actually changed and who
Gerald Cox, MD – Engineered to Crave: How Big Food Hijacked the American Plate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dr. Gerald Cox joins Dr. Palmer for a revealing conversation about a shift most clinicians were never trained to see—how the food on our shelves stopped being food and became a product, deliberately designed to be difficult to stop eating. As a preventive medicine specialist focused on reversing cardiometabolic disease, with roots in obesity, lifestyle, and internal medicine, Dr. Cox brings both the science and a personal story: his own adolescence as an overweight kid who thought he was simply
