Health Maintenance - Jiffy Lube for Humans?

The average adult spends $30-150 every 3 months to maintain their car, but what do they do to maintain their body, which presumably is more important?

When's the last time you checked your cholesterol? (compare that with your last oil change)

Blood pressure?

blood sugar?

triglycerides?

percent body fat?

Think about this: jiffy lube took the really cumbersome and long task of car maintenance and made it routine, focused, and fast. Maybe the same could be done with health maintenance?

Just like with cars, if there's something actively wrong, you have to go the standard route (see a mechanic/doctor/hospital), but if you're just doing routine maintenance, you don't need all that.

What if regular health maintenance check-ups raise your health awareness and end up motivating you to eat/act healthier? What if insurance companies offer cheaper insurance rates if you show a record of regular maintenance and good numbers?

Dr. Alex Mohseni invited to speak at Brault’s Healthcare Leadership Forum about the future of Emergency Medicine services and how ED groups can adapt using telemedicine.

Dr. Mohseni presented on the topic of how Emergency Medicine groups could expand their scope of practice to the virtual space to and how to do so in a financially viable way.

From Stethoscope to Strategy: Why I Built ClinX Academy for Physicians Ready to Lead

“I love medicine—but I don’t love the hamster wheel.” That sentence kept echoing in my head during 3 a.m. shifts and budget meetings alike. If you’re a physician feeling the same tug between clinical passion and systemic frustration, this post is for you. The Problem: Brilliant Clinicians, Limited Business Training Physicians command >80 % of U.S. healthcare spend yet hold <5 % of C-suite seats. Traditional MBAs cost $150K+, 2 years, and countless missed family dinners. Weekend “crash courses” often lack depth, CME credit, or a meaningful network. Burnout rates hover around 50 % —and much of it stems from feeling powerless in operational decisions.

How to connect openai to zapier to twilio so that you can interface with GPT3 via SMS

I created an SMS interface to openAI's gpt3 API so that I can send an SMS prompt to openai and get an SMS response. Result looks like this: There may be better/easier ways of doing this, but this is how I figured it out. I'm assuming some degree of familiarity w/ Zapier here: 1. Buy a phone number in Twilio to use for this. This only costs $1/mo 2. In Zapier, create a new zap where the trigger is "Webhooks by Zapier" (Premium option). Choose your event as "Catch Hook". This will generate a webhook URL that is custom for this workflow. We are doing this because when you send the SMS to the Twilio phone number, you want it to **instantly** trigger the zapier workflow and not wait the 5-15 min it takes for Twilio to trigger on its own, so for that you need the webhook: 3. Copy the webhook URL from zapier and paste it into Twilio in the "A Messages Comes In" webhook section for that phone number 4. You will then need to send a test message so that Zap...
