Dr. Joy Kong's cardiology clinic uses technology-driven methods to improve VO2 max and body composition far beyond standard outcomes. She argues daily patient observations matter more than randomized trials, and that medications are overprescribed when advanced monitoring could identify who actually needs them.
A lot of my colleagues, they called me crazy. They called me all kinds of things. Wow. I'm working on some of our latest data from my practice on looking at outcomes, looking at improvement in VO2 max, looking at body composition. When you look at that data on where we've come in 1 year of kind of the type of practice that I have versus the standard kind of cardiology practice, you can't compare it. You cannot compare it. We kind of grew up in this evidence-based medicine type system, and everybody is looking for the evidence where there's no randomized data for this, that. Honestly, at this point, I could care less because I see my patients every single day. And I'm not anti-medicine, okay? Don't get it wrong. There are absolutely times when people need medications, but we overutilize these medications. But I make a wise decision on who those people are because we have the technology and techniques to figure out. What's important for us is to educate doctors as well. Let me show you the data. You know, you don't have the randomized controlled data because we were never doing it this way. But look at what's happened to our patients. There is a different way to practice medicine. It is a fun way to practice medicine. And you don't have to be told what you need to do from the insurance companies.
