Prevent Disease Before It Starts: A Doctor’s Simple Daily Framework – Talk with Dr. Patrice High

Episode 39

Click Below To Listen….

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Patrice High, founder and CEO of NuEmpowerment Health and dual board-certified physician in both family medicine and lifestyle medicine. After becoming short of breath running up her own stairs, Dr. High transformed her health using the very principles she now teaches — and built a practice dedicated to helping women prevent, improve, and reverse chronic disease before it takes hold.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mindset Before Everything: Dr. High’s practice uses 60-minute visits because you simply cannot understand a patient’s “why” in 15 minutes. Knowing how someone got where they are — and where they want to go — must come before any conversation about food or exercise.
  • Lifestyle First, Medication Second: Dr. High’s approach puts her in the health coaching space alongside a patient’s primary care provider. She handles the pieces a 15-minute visit can’t — a 16-point lifestyle assessment, goal-setting, and pillar-by-pillar evaluation.
  • Chronic Disease Is Not Your Destiny: Dr. High was taught that diabetics are always diabetic — until she discovered research proving otherwise. Her own transformation using lifestyle medicine principles became the foundation of her entire practice.
  • Every Meal Is a Choice: Her top health advice is simple — recognize that every time you open the fridge or sit down to eat, you are choosing wellness or disease. No one is perfect, but awareness at every meal is where change begins.
  • Intentional Health Is Prime Health: Dr. High defines prime health as intentional living — paying attention to how food, sleep, and stress affect how you feel, and making small conscious improvements day after day.
