💡 ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Healthcare is built around institutions. Carrie Allen wants to rebuild it around the patient.
Carrie spent over 20 years scaling consumer platforms at companies like Zipcar and Kaplan before she founded the Holistic Health Hub. Her model is recentralized care. Each person owns their own health data, and practitioners across conventional, functional, integrative and holistic care work together around them. She built it after years of piecing together her own care, and watching the people around her do the same.
We talk about being the project manager of your own health, and how that job multiplies when you care for kids or aging parents. We get into specialists who never talk to each other, prior authorizations, and why a home sleep study took me almost a year even after all my years on the hospital side. Carrie also explains how the Hub's directory and Well-being Concierge work, what's next with the Boston launch, and why she thinks millennials may be the generation that finally fixes the system.

🎯 KEY TAKEAWAYS
🔹 Healthcare is built around institutions, and recentralized care rebuilds it around the patient
🔹 Most patients already act as the project manager of their own health, and caregivers do it for the whole family
🔹 Specialists rarely talk to each other, so the patient is often the only one who sees the full picture
🔹 When each person owns their health data, every practitioner on their team can work from the same information
🔹 Conventional, functional, integrative and holistic practitioners can work together when the system is built for it
🔹 Even a simple home sleep study can take almost a year when nobody coordinates the steps
