   Dr. Hany Demian

   In this episode of the Business of HLTH Podcast, Natalie sits down with Dr. Hany Demian, physician, entrepreneur, and Founder & CEO of Praesentia Healthcare and BioSpine Institute, to explore a provocative question: What if modern medicine is designed to manage disease rather than restore health? Drawing on a career that spans surgery, emergency medicine, chronic pain management, and longevity medicine, Dr. Demian shares the experiences that led him to challenge conventional healthcare models and build a more integrated approach to patient care. He explains why he believes aging should be viewed as a modifiable biological process rather than an inevitable decline and how advances in diagnostics, regenerative medicine, and artificial intelligence are transforming the future of healthcare. The conversation dives into the distinction between lifespan and healthspan, the emerging science behind longevity, and why preserving energy, mobility, cognitive function, and independence may be the most important healthcare goals of the coming decades. Dr. Demian also discusses the limitations of symptom-focused medicine, the importance of addressing root causes, and how predictive care models may fundamentally reshape the patient experience. If you're interested in longevity, chronic pain, preventative medicine, healthcare innovation, or the future of personalized care, this episode offers a fascinating look at where medicine may be headed next.

   Joanna Nathan

   In this episode of the Business of HLTH Podcast, Natalie sits down with Joanna Nathan, CEO and Co-Founder of Prana Surgical, to discuss the realities of building a medical technology company in one of healthcare's most complex and highly regulated fields. Drawing on her unique journey from bioengineering and venture investing to entrepreneurship, Joanna shares how Prana Surgical was born from a critical gap in lung cancer care. As lung cancer screening identifies more patients with small, early-stage lesions, many remain trapped in a cycle of surveillance because existing surgical tools are not designed for these challenging cases. Joanna explains how the Prana System aims to enable image-guided, minimally invasive procedures that help physicians target difficult-to-reach lung lesions while preserving healthy tissue and improving treatment precision. The conversation explores the challenges of scaling a medtech company, balancing clinical and business risk, navigating regulatory hurdles, securing capital, and bringing new technologies into real-world hospital workflows. Joanna also reflects on Prana's milestone of safely treating its first patients and what it takes to transform an innovative idea into a clinically viable solution. If you're interested in medical innovation, surgical oncology, healthcare entrepreneurship, or the future of precision medicine, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

   Dr. Tyler B. Evans

   In this episode of the Business of HLTH Podcast, we step beyond traditional healthcare conversations to examine the deeper forces shaping who gets sick, who receives care, and why. Natalie sits down with Dr. Tyler B. Evans, physician, global health leader, and CEO of Wellness Equity Alliance, whose work spans refugee camps, pandemic response, and frontline care in some of the world’s most underserved communities. Drawing from decades of experience, Dr. Evans challenges the conventional view of disease, arguing that health outcomes are not just biological, but the direct result of social and political systems. From the rise of street medicine and the realities of healthcare access to the growing crisis of distrust in public health, this conversation explores what’s broken and what it will take to rebuild it. Dr. Evans also shares insights from his book on how pandemics are shaped long before they begin, and why rethinking systems, not just treatments, is critical to the future of global health. If you’re interested in health equity, system-level change, and the intersection of medicine, policy, and society, this is a conversation that will challenge how you think about healthcare.
