In this episode of Entrepreneurship Unlocked, I sit down with Dr. Lawrence Kessler and Dr. Scott Flashner, founders of Restoration Health 365 and pioneers in the field of health optimization, disease prevention, and regenerative medicine.
We dive into their journey from emergency room physicians to urgent care owners—and now to independent, functional medicine doctors focused on treating root causes rather than just masking symptoms. Dr. Kessler is also the author of Optimology: The Future of Medicine, a book that challenges the traditional healthcare model and lays out a systems-based approach to getting the body back in balance.
In this conversation, we talk about:
- Why they left traditional medicine to build something better
- How hormone optimization and nutrient testing can dramatically improve long-term health
- What’s really behind the rise of GLP-1 medications (aka “skinny shots”)
- How big insurance and hospital systems are limiting both doctors and patients
- What doctors looking to go independent should know before making the leap
We also get into the economics of healthcare, the dangers of environmental disruptors (EDCs), and why movement is one of the most underrated prescriptions in medicine.
If you’re someone who’s felt frustrated by the conventional system—or you’re a physician thinking about going independent—this is a powerful, eye-opening conversation you don’t want to miss.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
