Hey careerpreneurs!

So it’s clear from last week’s poll that Preventative Wellness is the most popular Non-Clinical Career doctors reading this email are thinking about in 2025.

It makes total sense and I’m a strong advocate for prevention over cure.

However, this topic remains controversial because as doctors we are primarily trained to treat, not prevent disease.

So the question is whether doctors should be practicing in this area at all AS doctors?

Either way with burgeoning specialties, like Lifestyle Medicine, its happening and people are subscribing. However if you’re planning your career in Lifestyle Medicine and wanting to work for yourself and earn GOOD money, what areas could YOU focus on if companies are paying?

1. Workplace Wellness Programs

   Design a program that focuses on company wide stress management, nutrition, burnout reduction and lifestyle related diseases. Workshops, 1-1s or even online training programs could result in a healthy company and a healthy 6-7 figure income for you! I’ve seen many doctors do this, including one of our current Fellows!

2. Health / Life Coaching

   Knock on some doors and offer this as a scalable service on a 1-1 or group basis. The key is demonstrating the value to companies and what a return on investment looks like for providing this service.

3. Music Wellness / Tech

   This came up in our Doctors in Industry Doctors Mess last night. One of our Fellows is a Medical Advisor for Music Healthtech companies - music wellness is a thing (I live by this with my singing and piano), that the right companies could pay for. The question is how can you make this a business opportunity where you earn to do what you love?

Basically, options are endless. The key is to think about what you love, what companies will pay for, and write a business plan. (I’ve seen Corporate Wellness dogs too!)

If you’re getting into preventative wellness, how much support are you getting in developing a business out of your passion?
