Whether you’re a fellow provider curious about integrating new technology or just passionate about your own health journey, I think you’ll find this conversation eye-opening and inspiring.
Welcome back to the Healthy Returns podcast! I’m Sharon Polsky, your host, and I’m excited to have you join me for another episode focused on the intersection of better health and better business. Today, I’m sitting down with Dr. Spiewak, a dual board-certified internist and pediatrician based in Tampa, Florida, who shares her story about moving from traditional academic medicine into building a thriving concierge primary care and wellness practice.
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Spiewak about how she’s woven the Evolt360 body composition scanner into her clinical practice. We talk about why understanding body composition provides so much more insight than weight or BMI alone, and how this data can instantly motivate and guide patients—whether they’re focused on weight loss, strength training, or preventative health.
You’ll hear us discuss the value of personalized, holistic care, including how tech like Evolt360 empowers both practitioners and patients to see real, measurable progress.
Here are my top three takeaways for anyone in healthcare or wellness:
Go Beyond the Scale: Traditional metrics like BMI don’t tell the full story. Dr. Spiewak shares how Evolt scans reveal key insights about visceral fat, muscle mass, and metabolic health—critical for tailoring treatment plans and showing patients their real progress.
Empower Patients with Data: Giving patients access to objective, easy-to-understand body composition data (like BMR, TEE, and even “bio age”) boosts motivation and compliance. Patients are more engaged in their health journeys when they can see their progress, not just in pounds lost but in muscle gained and health risks reduced.
Build Community & Value: Offering body composition scanning as part of membership (for free!) increases patient engagement and builds a culture of health. Open house events with free scans are more effective than paid ads for generating leads and fostering patient loyalty.
