Flourish by Advaita Health
Flourish by Advaita Health explores the future of care at the intersection of clinical practice, individual flourishing, and society. Hosted by Tripp Johnson and Marcus Shumate, each episode features candid conversations with clinicians, patients, leaders, and innovators shaping behavioral health and beyond.
From the frontlines of clinical practice and medical innovation, to the science of flourishing through mindfulness, nutrition, exercise, and sleep, to the broader forces of society—healthcare policy, technology, and culture—we bring diverse perspectives into one conversation.
Our mission is to create a more connected, compassionate, and effective healthcare system, while helping people live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Whether you’re a provider, policymaker, or someone passionate about health and well-being, the Advaita Health Podcast offers insight, inspiration, and practical wisdom for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
