Show Notes:

People don’t like going to the doctor’s office. Dr. Ryan Greene of Monarch Athletic Club is changing that by re-inventing the primary care experience. Monarch is a wellness club with a board-certified care team that supports members through all aspects of health.

With a background in allopathic and osteopathic medicine, Dr. Ryan Greene brings expertise in both clinical and lifestyle medicine. He has incorporated medically-driven services such as comprehensive blood work, physical therapy, and body composition scans, into an integrated and preventive medical practice doubling as a luxury gym.

Focusing on the basic pillars of health — movement, nutrition, sleep, mental health, and community — Monarch’s care model helps members understand why these fundamental ideas are important for improving longevity and quality of life.

Today’s episode covers key markers for longevity, the Monarch membership onboarding journey, and why investing in health will save the U.S. billions ($).
