This episode is sponsored by PearsonRavitz– a friend and advocate for physicians with their insurance needs.  This episode is an interview conducted by Parker Condit, CEO and Co-Founder of Moto Bio – a platform helping its members live healthy lives and make smarter decisions for themselves.  We get to talk about being a couple who are both family practice physicians and discuss our transition from primary care to urgent care and the frustrations we experienced in the healthcare system. We talk about the increased focus on box ticking and metrics in the EMR, which led to a decline in patient care, including the lack of understanding from insurance companies and the implementation of laws by non-doctors. Additionally, we touch on the benefits of direct primary care and the importance of preventative care. Looking for something specific?

And that’s putting it lightly. His interest in health and wellness began in early adulthood when he began a career in personal training. During this time, he successfully helped professional athletes optimize their performance, and non-professionals improve their overall physical health. In conversation with his clients, he realized how siloed traditional medical practitioners were from providers in the mental health, fitness, and integrative medicine spaces; spaces that can help physicians prevent disease in their patients, not just treat it. He, along with his business partner Jack, decided to find a solution to this problem and Modo Bio was born. Since mid-2022, Parker has led Modo Bio’s transformation from a brick-and-mortar integrative health clinic into the dynamic remote patient monitoring digital platform it is today. He is responsible for overseeing all areas of Modo Bio’s business operations in addition to fundraising and building meaningful partnerships with physicians, health systems, and stakeholders. Parker currently lives in Arizona where he spends his free time running and spending time with his dog Max, his best friend and the unofficial mascot of Modo Bio.
