The Real Modality Is You: Inside Dr. Sean Drake’s Clinic Philosophy
What if your clinic’s biggest asset isn’t a modality or marketing tactic, but you? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Sean Drake, founder of Biomakers Haven and a trusted practitioner to some of the world’s top athletes. Sean’s clinic isn’t built on sales funnels or ad spend — it’s built on presence, purpose, and radical personalization. We dive deep into how he built a fully referral-based practice, what it means to meet patients where they are, and why your nervous system (and theirs) is the most important in the room. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your clinic into a sanctuary — one that creates real transformation — this episode will shake up how you think about healing, leadership, and running a high-impact business. Whether you're a new clinic owner or a seasoned operator, this is the heart-led blueprint that changes everything.

Turn Your Clinic’s Front Desk Into Confident Closers
If you’ve ever looked at your clinic’s front desk and thought, “They could be doing so much more,” you’re not alone. Most front desk teams aren’t trained to sell — and honestly, the word “sales” probably makes them cringe. This episode is about changing that, not with sleazy scripts, but with simple mindset shifts that help your staff connect with patients and confidently guide them toward care. I'm Chris Himel and I work hand-by-hand with hundreds of clinics on this very thing. I'm sharing exactly what I tell them — how to build real rapport, uncover what’s actually driving a patient’s pain, and have conversations that feel natural but lead to more booked services. If your team cares deeply about people but struggles to close, this will change the game for your clinic — and for the patients you’re here to serve.

The Health Data Revolution: Why You Need to Start Tracking Now

The Health Data Revolution: Why You Need to Start Tracking Now
For years, Dave Korsunsky worked in big tech, analyzing massive datasets to optimize performance. But when he turned that same analytical mindset toward his own health, he realized a shocking truth — most people, including doctors, were flying blind. Blood tests, wearables, and other health metrics held the answers, yet they were scattered across PDFs, patient portals, and outdated systems. The problem wasn’t a lack of data—it was the inability to make sense of it. In this episode, Dave shares how he built Heads Up, a platform designed to give people and clinics real-time insights into their health. We dive into why tracking your health data is the key to making real, measurable progress — and how it can reveal what’s actually working (or not). Whether you're a clinic owner or just someone who wants to optimize your body and mind, this conversation will change the way you think about health forever.

How To Build A Profitable Clinic Without Insurance Headaches
When Spring Lane started her clinic, she saw firsthand how broken the traditional healthcare model was — patients struggling to get care, doctors overwhelmed by insurance red tape, and a system that prioritized billing codes over real wellness. Instead of following the standard path, she built a direct primary care (DPC) practice where patients pay a simple membership fee for unlimited access. No insurance. No rushed visits. Just real, personalized care. In this episode, Spring shares how this model not only gives patients better outcomes but also allows clinic owners to break free from the financial and operational headaches of insurance-based care. Spring gets candid about the challenges she faced, from unlearning the traditional healthcare mindset to structuring her membership model in a way that truly serves her patients. She reveals why business owners — who pay 60% of healthcare costs for their employees — are the key to disrupting the industry and why DPC clinics see an average 20% reduction in total healthcare costs. If you're tired of fighting with insurance companies and want to build a thriving, patient-focused clinic, Spring’s story is MUST-HEAR!

Clinic Growth Secrets: Lindsay Kirby on Profit, Passion, and Patient Impact
Lindsay Kirby didn’t plan on becoming a business owner. Raised on a farm and trained as a nurse, she followed a traditional path — until her own wellness journey led her to discover red light therapy. In 2016, driven by curiosity and passion, she opened her first wellness clinic in Tri-Cities, Washington. People thought she was crazy. Red light therapy wasn’t mainstream, and the idea of building a business around it seemed risky. Yet Lindsay had a talent for spotting trends before they took off. Her business doubled revenue year after year, but behind the scenes, she was burned out, overwhelmed, and wondering why there was no profit left at the end of each month. It wasn’t until she hit a breaking point that she realized growth without strategy wasn’t sustainable. In this revealing interview, Lindsay shares how she turned things around by getting in the right rooms, hiring mentors, and embracing her role as a visionary. She breaks down the mistakes that nearly sank her business — overinvesting in trendy equipment, hiring based on feelings, and undervaluing services—and explains how refocusing on the right data and patient outcomes changed everything. From practical tips on separating services for profitability to strategies for building trust and driving results, Lindsay offers a blueprint for clinic owners ready to grow smarter, not just bigger.

From Near Death To New Life: How Alex Meyer Used AI To Get His Health Back
Alex Meyer was on the verge of death — battling both dengue fever and COVID in a Mexico clinic unfamiliar with treating either. With the help of his wife, a nurse practitioner, Alex survived, but he was far from 100 percent. A serial entrepreneur, he found himself with barely any energy, months after this near-fatal experience. Determined to regain his strength, Alex turned to an unconventional path: AI. Not just one, but multiple AIs tailored to guide his recovery. He built an AI-powered system that monitored every aspect of his health — sleep patterns, nutrition, even stress triggers — guiding him from a frail state back to 100 percent again. Now, Alex is bringing this powerful technology to clinic owners, helping them redefine patient recovery with a highly personalized AI system. Known as “The Viking” to friends, Alex joins this week’s episode of Bio’s Brightest to share his incredible journey and dive into topics like wearable tech and health disinformation.
