Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dr. Kimberly Parks discuss the following:

* Dr. Parks, why don’t you start by telling us a little about your medical background — how you became a physician, a specialist in cardiology, and an expert in lifestyle medicine?
* You emphasize lifestyle and preventative medicine in your approach to care. Can you talk about why you think that's important and an effective approach for your patients.
* Food seems to play a particularly critical role in a healthy lifestyle. Can you tell us about your approach to Culinary Medicine and the types of teaching and events you offer at Synergy Private Health?
* You started Synergy Private Health as a concierge-style (membership-based) medical program. Why do you think that was the best model to support your vision and your unique approach to personalized care?
* What kind of feedback have you received from Synergy Private Health Members? What aspects of the lifestyle approach and the membership experience do they seem to appreciate the most?
* What would your best advice be for other doctors who are considering the lifestyle medicine approach and/or transitioning to a concierge model?
