In this episode of The Functional Edge, Dr. Julia Ward sits down with Dr. Clint Carter to discuss the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model—a revolutionary approach to healthcare that prioritizes patient-doctor relationships over insurance bureaucracy.
Dr. Carter shares how DPC offers longer visits, transparent pricing, and 24/7 access to your physician, while freeing doctors from the administrative burdens of insurance. He explains how this model restores joy to medical practice, empowers patients, and opens the door to integrating functional medicine, peptides, bioidentical hormones, and more.
You’ll also hear how technology, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), is helping doctors better serve patients and proactively manage care. Dr. Carter shares his own journey from burnout in the ER to finding renewed purpose in Direct Primary Care—and why he believes this model is the future of medicine.
