"What happens when a physician chooses alignment over convention? In this thoughtful and empowering episode, CJ sits down with Dr. Raina Gazurian—board-certified physician in family medicine and geriatrics and founder of Lanai Health—to talk about her decision to step away from traditional healthcare and build a practice rooted in time, trust, and true connection.
After more than 15 years in the traditional system, Raina recognized that the care she wanted to provide—and the relationships her patients needed—were no longer possible within its constraints. She shares what inspired her transition, how direct primary care is changing the way she practices medicine, and why empowering women—especially in midlife—to advocate for their health is central to her work today.
If you’ve ever felt rushed, unheard, or dismissed in a medical setting, this conversation offers a powerful reframe on what compassionate, patient-centered care can truly look like."
