On this episode we were joined by Isabelle Kenyon and Kim Boyd, two women leading by example to transform the way people receive healthcare. Isabelle and Kim are at the helm of Calibrate, a virtual care platform designed to help people with weight loss, and take the willpower factor out of the equation. Calibrate considers obesity an illness and it should be treated as such. But in the analog world, many patients receive generic advice and are then left to their own devices to lose weight. Thus, reducing the weight loss process to a matter of calorie deficits and willpower. In other words, it's apparent that there isn't really an issue with the quality of care itself, but rather with the way it's delivered to patients. Impersonal, irregular, impractical. Isabelle witnessed this discrepancy first-hand when she suffered a spinal fracture back in 2015. Calibrate challenges this status quo by taking the virtual route to increase the accessibility of care and coaching. Subscribers receive: Doctor-presrcibed GLP-1 medicationBi-weekly video coachingA personalized, holistic curriculumGuaranteed medical coverage This approach allows patient to apply much more gradual changes to their diet thanks to the consistent follow-ups. It also helps them take accountability through coaching sessions and the online community. Small wins add up to big wins over time! Huge thanks to Isabelle and Kim for joining us this episode. And hats off to them for leveraging technology to empower patients at scale; that's just the thing we love to see.
