Vitals&Values: Concierge Medicine of West Michigan
Vitals & Values is where evidence-based health meets unapologetic truth. Hosted by Dr. Lara, a concierge MD reshaping modern medicine, and David Roden, a transformation coach who lost over 200 pounds and lived to tell the tale, this podcast isn’t here to go viral—it’s here to tell the truth.
Every episode dives deep into:
🧬 Medicine & Metabolic Health
🥦 Nutrition & Sustainable Weight Loss
🏋️♂️ Fitness & Habit Formation
✝ Christian Faith & Spiritual Stewardship
💭 Mental Health & Lifestyle Resets
📅 Weekly Format:
Vitals Check – Clinical clarity from Dr. Lara
Values in Focus – Real-world forces behind health: mindset, faith, emotions, relationships, identity, and environment
The Honest Table – Candid convos & unfiltered guests
The Real Takeaway – A lifestyle or mindset challenge for the week
This isn’t wellness theater. It’s not guru culture. It’s a movement for people who want to think critically, live intentionally, and take their health personally.
