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.

Student Perspective: Gabi Herter “We Can’t Help You”
In this week’s episode, Tripp interviews UNC-Chapel Hill graduate student Gabi Herter. Gabi is currently completing her Master of Public Health with a concentration in health policy. She is particularly interested in improving the accessibility of mental health services, such as peer support centers, on campuses across the nation. After Gabi faced mental health concerns of her own and struggled in finding accessible resources, she realized the gravity of the crisis that she was not alone in facing. Having grown up and completed her undergraduate degree in Canada, Gabi also offers some unique perspectives on how the collegiate mental health resources differ, all while leading listeners to a much bigger conversation- what is the solution?
