Not every doctor dreams of climbing the traditional ladder. Some dream of building their own. Doctors Making a Difference, hosted by Dr. Peter Crane, tells the stories we rarely hear, of physicians who dared to ask, “Is this all there is?” and then changed their lives to answer it. These are the moments after burnout, after bureaucracy, after sacrifice. When purpose called louder than protocol. Each week, listeners meet doctors who stepped off the expected path—into roles as entrepreneurs, advocates, creatives, and leaders redefining what it means to heal. They didn’t just survive medicine. They made it theirs.Copyright 2025 Doctors Making A Difference 個人ファイナンス 個人的成功 経済学 自己啓発 衛生・健康的な生活 身体的病い・疾患

This is not financial advice. —----------------------------- In this episode of Doctors Making a Difference, Dr. Peter Crane interviews Jeff Sekinger, founder of NURP (algorithmic trading software), Zero Percent (financial education), and Orca Capital (digital asset hedge fund). Jeff shares his journey from JPMorgan to entrepreneurship, the inspiration behind creating accessible quant strategies for non-accredited investors, and how NURP’s Midas strategy brings hedge fund-level tools to individual brokerage accounts. The conversation covers the challenges physicians face with time, financial education, and diversification; the power of positive expectancy strategies; market-neutral trading vs. traditional buy-and-hold; liquidity and autonomy in algorithmic trading; and realistic portfolio allocation (1-20%). Jeff emphasizes education, risk management, backtesting, and third-party verification while stressing that this is not financial advice and trading involves significant risk.

  • Bariatric Surgery Versus GLP-1s: The Real Talk on Weight Loss That Works | Dr. Alexa Roth | DMD#90
    2026/07/02
    This episode is sponsored by NURP NURP helps busy physicians grow their wealth through AI-powered algorithmic trading designed for demanding careers. No day trading, no guesswork, and no constant market watching required. Ready to put your money to work? Visit start.nurp.com/doctors to learn more. Trading involves risk, and results may vary. This is not financial advice. —----------------------------- In this episode of Doctors Making a Difference, Dr. Peter Crane interviews Dr. Alexa Roth, a bariatric surgeon and obesity medicine specialist running a Center of Excellence program in Idaho. Dr. Roth discusses her path from competitive athlete and reluctant surgery student to falling in love with bariatric surgery, the psychological aspects of weight management, and how to approach patients with empathy and evidence-based options. They explore the strengths and limitations of lifestyle changes, GLP-1 medications, and surgical interventions, cost comparisons, insurance challenges, medical tourism risks, and early intervention in pediatric obesity. Dr. Roth also shares insights on public education through social media and her website. Episode Highlights From competitive athlete and internal medicine leanings to discovering a passion for surgery during a long Nissen redo caseWhy bariatric surgery offers uniquely rewarding long-term patient relationships and near-100% satisfactionThe combination of technical laparoscopic skill, psychology/psychiatry overlap, and life-changing outcomes that drew her to the fieldPatient-centered approach: Meeting patients where they are, understanding their story, and avoiding shame/blame messagingSpectrum of treatments, lifestyle (5-7% TBWL), medications (up to ~22%), and surgery (20-40%+ TBWL), and how to match them to patient goalsGLP-1 revolution making obesity more approachable and increasing patient willingness to seek careCost comparison: Bariatric surgery often pays for itself in under a year vs. ongoing brand GLP-1 costs; long-term savings for the healthcare systemRisks of medical tourism (lack of follow-up, complications, nutritional issues) and the importance of comprehensive lifelong supportEarly intervention in children and adolescents; family-wide benefits when adults pursue treatmentUsing authentic, short-form social media content to combat misinformation and educate the public Top 3 Takeaways Obesity is a chronic disease driven by genetics, epigenetics, and environment. Treat it with the same nuance and tools (lifestyle + meds + surgery) as diabetes or hypertension, not just “eat less and move more.”The best treatment is the one the patient will actually stick with; shared decision-making using realistic expectations on efficacy, cost, and lifelong commitment leads to better adherence.Surgery and medications are complementary tools, not competitors. Comprehensive programs that offer all options deliver superior, sustainable results and change entire families.

She leads a comprehensive weight management program recognized as a Center of Excellence. A former competitive swimmer and triathlete, she brings discipline and empathy to her practice.
