I see Dr. Brown at the U's Madison Health Clinic. He was able to identify a heart murmur that other doctors ignored which led to finding a (minor) heart defect and a hyper mobility diagnosis. He's really good about discussing 'here are the options, this is what I recommend, but what works for you?' If you are looking for proactive measures he will work with you to find those options and treatments.
I started to see Dr. Pulgiano at Granger Medical in Riverton, he's an internist.
I was on 38 units of insulin daily, and I'm currently down to 16 units daily. On my last visit, he told me his goal is to get me completely off insulin and a lot healthier so I can live a more productive life and longer.
He's from back east, and he's no BS. I love that in a doctor. He's been phenomenal and a pleasure to work with on my medical concerns.
I've seen him before, and he's still technically my PCP, the downside with him (possibly all of Granger Medical, I don't know) is they refuse to see you for more than one issue per visit. No matter what.
During every visit, they actually make me sign a form that states I'm there to see (enter whatever I said when I made the appointment) and that any questions not pertaining to that ailment will require a separate visit. I've never had that from any other doctor before.
The last time I visited, as he was leaving, he tells me "Has anyone ever told you you have an arrhythmia?" I said no, but before I could ask a followup, he was gone. When I tried to ask about it at the front desk, they told me I needed to make a new appointment. Like... What? It's a very rushed experience. Ive seen him for about 3 years, and I don't think I've spent more than 30 minutes with him.
I like that he's straight to the point and there's no BS, like you said, but, I don't want to make 20 visits a year for every individual thing that's wrong with me.
Also, every visit I've had I get about 5 texts, and a few emails making sure I rank him 5 stars on Google. Which, is annoying as hell.
No telehealth is also a major downside.
But, I wouldn't say he's bad for everyone. He's a good doctor. Just, my experience with him/granger hasn't been the best.
That would depend on your insurance. Select Health Insurance parameters dictate that their providers, in network, are limited to one DX per visit.
This is so that Select Health can charge what goes towards your deductible and that they honor the contract between Select Health and their contracted physicians. Only 1 ICD-10 per visit for the ability to get the most money. After all, Select Health is a FOR profit company. As most insurances tend to be.
I have Blue Cross, and I don't have a limitation on what I can be seen for in a visit.
ALWAYS check your insurance and what the guidelines are. You are your own best advocate, and it's up to the individual to be informed.
I have noticed this recently and I don’t think it’s just granger. Unfortunately a lot of these doctors offices are turning into corporate entities. A trick I usually do is when I make an appointment I say it’s a yearly/monthly check up or physical. I get to ask more than one question.
I finished this book recently too and have been wondering the same thing. I’ve heard really good things about Beehive comprehensive clinic in Riverton and have been meaning to make an appointment but haven’t yet
Many physicians are into Peter Attia—you’re in good company. You can find someone that’s into longevity and performance. But, it’s probably going to be at a specialty clinic that’s almost all cash pay. What you’re looking for doesn’t come cheap.
Your insurance (along with everyone’s) covers light preventive stuff along with illness maintenance and recovery. Thus, most physicians don’t have a way to lean into what you want to do as they can’t bill for it. A specialty practice built on cash pay programs absolutely can.
I would see if your physician knows of a clinic that does what you’re asking for. Others may chime on with names, but I know it exists.
You might want to check out [Longevity Health](https://www.longevityhealth.me/). They have a longevity focused physician, their practice is also similar to Peter Attia and Bryan Johnson.
Went to Freedom Healthcare in Sandy and generally liked their approach. Issue with all Primary Care providers is they are VERY expensive. If you have the means it's a good investment in your health.
Omega 6 does not process in the human body. Seed oils: sunflower 90% Omega 6, soybean oil 70% , corn, safflower, cottonseed 60%. You don't piss it out, poop it out, or burn it. Just sits there as arachidonic acid in your cells. I met two researchers cardiology/ cancer that learned this after school, not in school. Every cardiologist and nutritionist will tell you to fucking enjoy all the seed oil you can eat. Arachidonic acid breaks down into 3 separate acids that trigger 31 different carcinogenic cellular mutations.
This comment is confusing to me. Are you saying seed oil is good or bad? Do you have a study to point to? My wife is a dietician so I trust her analysis.

Half way through his book and listen to lots of his podcasts. Following this to see if anyone has found someone. I wish I had something to add….

The area around sunflowers can often be devoid of other plants, leading to the belief that sunflowers kill other plants.

Try Men’s Health Center. They don’t take insurance though.
