Shoulder-to-shoulder with industry leaders in Concierge Medicine

Fill Your Cup First ...


As a physician-entrepreneur, you understand that time and resources are often limited. Whether it's spending more time with patients, securing funds for upgrades, or developing your team, the clock never stops ticking.



We want to change the perception that entering your practice feels like stepping into a penalty box. At CMF25, taking place in Atlanta from October 16-18, we're dedicated to helping doctors tackle and better manage that one precious asset: your time.


Here’s a sneak peek: "Every day, we experience small moments with specific people around us. These interactions can either nurture their growth as healthcare leaders or divert our own focus from what truly matters. A truth that only a few exceptional [concierge] physicians have grasped is that 'we cannot invest in others unless we first take care of ourselves.' While articles, journals, podcasts, books, and webinars offer valuable insights, they can't match the power of being in a room with others who share your mission and vision FOR patients! There’s something transformative about learning and growing together.”


Whether you’re seeking fresh ideas, a bit of guidance, or an impetus to kickstart your old-fashioned idea, or if you’re ready to share your experiences with others, we invite you to join us at CMF25 this October in Atlanta.


We greatly admire the work you’re doing and look forward to supporting you at CMF25 this October!


FOR YOU, FOR DOCTORS,

~Michael

Weekend Reading: Planetary Eating

Gidon Eshel.  Planetary Eating: The Hidden Links between Your Plate and Our Cosmic Neighborhood.  MIT Press, 2025.

I did a blurb for this book:

Planetary Eating gives us a geophysicist’s deep analysis of the environmental cost of beef production and the benefits of replacing meat with plants.  Salads, he argues, are a blueprint for rebellion against corporate-run agricultural systems.

This book is divided into two parts.

  • The first is a deep dive into calculating the environmental cost of eating beef.
  • The second is how climate affects agriculture.

Eshel has fun with this.  He notes that his comments on meat-eating typically get responses:

roughly evenly split between the blindingly enlightened, zero doubt vegan activists, and angry self-appointed beef and big ag defenders.  And when I publish papers that suggest that in some circumstances beef may have some productive roles to play (it does), the tenor of the comments remains unchanged, but the camps neatly reverse, like Prussian troops in formation.

His main argument: “you cannot understand food and agriculture without invoking basic physics, thermodynamics, biology, and other pertinent sciences.”

He’s not kidding.  There’s a lot of all of that in this book and math calculations and formulas as well.  But what he’s trying to say makes sense.

I loved his analysis of why dairy farms do better in Texas and Arizona, states that would seem to be

Inhospitable to moist- and cool-loving cattle.  To combat cattle’s exceptional heat burden due to their large size, high performance, and large metabolic health output, migrating to where sweat dries fast, thus dripping minimally, is essential.  This requires near-surface air characteristics that strongly favor rapid evaporation.  Because few processes promote these conditions more than subsidence, which outside of the tropics is maximized downstream of mountain ranges that vigorous prevailing winds pass over, modern dairy migrate to those areas…Far from perplexing, locating dairy operations just east of the Rockies or the Coast Range now makes perfect sense, because that is the location of maximum effect of planetary waves the interactions of the prevailing westerly winds with the mountains excite.  And in that most coherent downstream node, the main effect for our purposes is subsidence; more subsidence, more comfortable and productive dairy cows.
