About the Show

When I first heard about Direct Primary Care, I thought, “Is this for real?” A way to take better care of patients, spend more time with family, and not be crushed by the system? Yes, please. Then it took me 8 more years to actually make the leap. Yikes.

Since 2021, I’ve lived the DPC Life. And the truth is, making DPC work is not always easy. I’m still learning a lot from other DPC docs, so I created DPC Life to share their stories.

Every week, you’ll hear doctors share their realities - the wins, the hard days, and the surprising lessons they learned along the way. These aren’t polished highlight reels. They’re conversations that help you feel less alone and give you ideas to build a practice that actually fits your life.

Who It's for

This podcast is for:

  • Docs who are curious about DPC but don’t know where to start.

  • Doctors in the fee-for-service “system” who need encouragement (and maybe a laugh).

  • Anyone who wants simple practice operating systems that don’t run them into the ground.

  • Physicians who want proof that yes, you can be a good doctor and still have a life.

About The Host

Hi, I’m Dr. Anne Gonzalez, a DPC doc and co-founder of Emerald Health DPC & Aesthetics in Hickory, NC. I started this podcast because when I was figuring out DPC, I searched for honest stories from people actually doing it. Not just the highs, but the lows too, and how to make the practice & life beyond it better.

Now, I get to share with you more stories of doctors who are making this model work for their families & their patients.
