This episode finds the Green Docs talking to Kate Ryder, CEO of Maven, the world’s largest online virtual care company for women and families. You’ll hear about the challenges and opportunities of bringing greatly improved access to specialists in fertility, mental health and menopause for clients like Amazon, serving employees around the globe in 35 languages. And, since we’re the Green Docs, we explore how this virtual care model aids those affected by health care disparities and can also be a lifeline for families affected by our escalating “natural” disasters.
Beginning the episode, the guys weigh in on two climate stories: how Hurricane Idalia and other storms on both coasts are growing more dangerous, and a story in the New York Times about changes to the wedding industry forced by worsening weather and air quality. Finally, Nate declares that paper straws “suck” because, well, they don’t- and they contain hormone disruptors: another example of how solutions aren’t always simple.
