Welcome to the eighth episode of Deprescribe. My guest today is Dr. Mark Bonta, MD. He is a medical doctor and internal medicine specialist. When he’s not saving lives or positively impacting the health of his patients, Mark is advancing healthcare literacy and demystifying medicine through his podcast — Ditch The Labcoat.

In this episode, Mark and Shawn discuss:

* Finding alternative paths in medicine, and pharmacy while building the conditions for self-actualization and a rewarding career.

* Exploring alternative billing and reimbursement models in medicine.

* Our thoughts on Medicine 3.0 and the rising trends centered on longevity, healthspan, and lifespan.

* Raising resilient children and adverse childhood experiences.

* Managing and avoiding burnout in medicine, while balancing our professional obligations and responsibilities as frontline healthcare providers.
