How Doctors Stay On The Cutting-Edge

She lost her leg in a traumatic accident… and turned it into a mission to help others find strength, identity, and purpose again.

This is the story behind Less Leg More Heart — and why it matters for every patient facing limb loss or PAD.

I'm talking with Tina Godfrey Hurley, founder of Less Leg More Heart, alongside Dr. John Phillips, about what happens after amputation — physically, emotionally, and mentally — and how patients rebuild their lives in ways most people never see.

Tina's journey started with a devastating accident that led to limb loss at a young age. Today, she's helping others navigate trauma, identity, mental health, and recovery through her nonprofit and advocacy work.

We're getting into: • What patients really experience after limb loss • The emotional side of recovery doctors don't always see • How identity, confidence, and purpose evolve after trauma • Why community and support systems change outcomes • What PAD patients can learn from the amputee community

If you've ever thought, "no one understands what this feels like," this conversation will hit home.

She Lost Her Leg… And Built a Movement | The Woman Behind Less Leg More Heart

A silent killer hiding in plain sight — and you may not know you're at risk.

I talk with a CEO living with this genetic heart condition and what it means for you.

Dr. John Phillips and I talk to one of the most respected minds in tech, Phil McKinney, former CTO of Hewlett Packard and now CEO of CableLabs, to talk about something far more personal than innovation:

A genetic heart condition he didn't know he had.

It's called apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy where the heart muscle thickens, particularly at the tip of the heart. That thickening can interfere with blood flow and increase the risk of dangerous heart rhythms.

And here's what you need to know:

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy affects about 1 in 500 people...many of whom don't even know they have it.

For some, the first sign is a life-threatening event.

Phil was fortunate. His condition was caught early.

Not everyone gets that chance.

We break down what this condition actually is, why it's often missed, and how something as simple as knowing your family history could change your outcome. If there's heart disease in your family, or unexplained symptoms like shortness of breath, chest discomfort, dizziness, or fainting, those are not things to brush off.

This is about awareness. It's about asking better questions. And it's about catching something early enough to do something about it.

A CEO's Life Long Battle With Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

I'm interviewing a vascular surgeon who has PAD… and the doctor who treated him. Get ready for an inside look at what medicine looks like from both sides. 

Dr. John Phillips and I are talking to Dr. Kevin Lurie, a vascular surgeon from Alaska who was recently diagnosed with Peripheral Artery Disease and treated for blockages below the knee. 

We're also talking to Dr. Amr El Serghany, the vascular surgeon from Hawaii who performed the procedures using the Reflow Medical retractable stent. 

Patients say it all the time: "If doctors had PAD, they would understand the pain." Now you'll hear from one who does… and the doctor who treated him. 

This conversation goes deeper than anything we've done before: • What it's like for a doctor to become the patient • The reality of PAD pain and limitations • How treatment decisions are made in real life • What changes when the physician understands the experience firsthand • How this is reshaping the way both doctors approach care This is where clinical expertise meets lived experience — and it changes everything.
