Orthopedic surgeon Michael Day discusses his article "Why it's time for doctors to become performance coaches." Michael explains why public trust in U.S. health care is declining and how patients are increasingly turning to high performers and influencers outside medicine for health inspiration. He argues that physicians must expand their role beyond disease treatment to become performance coaches—providing accountability, context, and specialized knowledge to help patients pursue fitness, resilience, and longevity. Michael emphasizes the lessons learned from elite athletes, the power of exercise in preventing chronic disease, and the importance of patient ownership in a tech-enabled health future. Listeners will gain insights into how physicians can bridge the gap between treatment and performance while rebuilding trust with their patients. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.
