What happens when a nurse practitioner stops waiting for the system to change- and builds something better? In this episode, I sit down with Chris O'Donnell, one of Australia’s most successful private practice NPs and the founder of MyWeightLoss Clinic, a nationwide telehealth service. We unpack how Chris scaled from ED Fast Track to 120+ staff, 500,000 patient encounters, and a model of care that delivers medication via Uber Eats. You’ll hear: • Why obesity is a metabolic issue, not a willpower problem • How NP-led telehealth is reshaping chronic disease care • The four pillars of obesity medicine • AI, patient safety, and managing clinical risk remotely This one’s part clinical reasoning, part healthcare rebellion- and all heart.
