This is a short transcript excerpt from a YouTube interview in which Dr. Gapin argues that the future of medicine will rely less on individual doctors and more on multidisciplinary teams (nutrition, fitness, genetics, concierge services) that use real-time wearable data. He emphasizes teaching patients self-management—interpreting daily data and learning behavioral skills—because infrequent clinic visits (e.g., every 12 weeks) offer limited opportunity for change.

And so I really believe the future of medicine is relying less on the doctor, like me, like you, and relying more on a team. And I feel that my patients get the best results because I have a team around me, and I have nutrition experts, and I have fitness experts, I have genetics folks, and I have a concierge team who can react real time to wearable data when we see issues going on that, like you mentioned, if you see someone every 12 weeks, what can you really accomplish in that short time you have, that short window you have? Whereas if you could teach your patient how to fish, they're going to do a lot better on their own. When you teach them how to use and interpret the data real time on a daily basis, give them the tools, that's where you start to enact change.
