    In this episode of The Visible Voices Podcast, I speak with Dr. Michelle Finkel, emergency medicine physician turned entrepreneur and founder of Insider Medical Admissions — a specialized consulting business helping applicants navigate medical school, residency, fellowship, post-bac, and dental school admissions. Drawing on her experience as faculty at Massachusetts General Hospital and assistant residency director, Michelle shares her high-touch, human-centered approach to helping applicants find their voice, avoid the humility trap, and write with persuasion and originality.

  • Dietary Guidelines: Annahieta Kalantari on Protein, Industry Influence, and What the Science Says

    Dietary Guidelines: Annahieta Kalantari on Protein, Industry Influence, and What the Science Says
    2026/05/13
    In this episode of the Visible Voices Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Annahieta Kalantari aka Dr. AK emergency and lifestyle medicine physician and founder of the Whole Human Health and Wellbeing Platform. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released in January 2026, and we dig into what changed, what the science actually says, and where industry influence shows up. We discuss the daily protein recommendation changes. We also get into the confusion caused by the new food pyramid graphic and how the Uncompromised Dietary Guidelines — a nonprofit effort with recommendations outside of industry is something to read. Correction: In the original recording of this episode, we inadvertently misspoke the protein intake recommendation in milligrams per kilogram — the correct unit is grams per kilogram of body weight (g/kg). The audio and transcript have been updated to reflect this correction. We apologize for the error! ▶ Subscribe on YouTube @resaelewissmd — new Visible Voices episodes on Wednesdays. 🎙️ Search "The Visible Voices Podcast" on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

    Eat for Your Microbiome | Desiree Nielsen on Fiber, Gut Health & Fighting Chronic Disease
    2026/05/06
    First released as audio only. Re-edited and now available in video and audio. In lifestyle medicine, food is not a side conversation. It's the conversation. This week I speak with Desiree Nielsen— registered dietitian and plant-based recipe developer. Desiree Nielsen and I discuss what doctors miss when they skip the nutrition conversation, how gut microbiome health connects to long COVID and chronic disease, and why dietary fiber — not protein — is the most important nutrient right now. We break down the science of anti-inflammatory eating, plant diversity, omega-3s, and the Mediterranean diet, with a rapid-fire review of coffee, avocado, salmon, oat milk, soy milk, walnuts, and cinnamon. Desiree shares a gut-friendly, plant-forward eating that is never about deprivation — it's about flavor, function, and long-term wellbeing.

  • The AI Stethoscope That Scribes Itself: Lapsi Health’s Jhonatan Bringas Dimitriades on Reinventing Clinical AI

    The AI Stethoscope That Scribes Itself: Lapsi Health’s Jhonatan Bringas Dimitriades on Reinventing Clinical AI
    2026/04/29
    Dr. Jhonatan Bringas Dimitriades is the CEO and co-founder of Lapsi Health and the co-creator of Keikku — the world's first FDA-cleared digital stethoscope with an integrated AI scribe. The healthtech company and device were built alongside his co-founder and wife Dr. Diana van Stijn. Keikku listens to cardiac and pulmonary sounds, detects heart murmurs with 90% accuracy, and scribes physician-patient encounters real time at the bedside. In this episode, we talk about the pediatric asthma patient that sparked Lapsi Health, why lung sounds are where the clinical misdiagnosis can happen, how MEMS microphone technology powers AI-assisted auscultation, and what multilingual AI scribing means for the future of point-of-care medicine. MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems devices are miniature sensors and actuators—combining electrical and mechanical components—found in smartphones, cars, and medical tools. Jhonatan and I discuss the deskilling debate. He makes the case for why physicians need to be reskilling right now. ▶ Subscribe to @ResaELewissMD — new episodes The Visible Voices Podcast episode every Wednesday. 🎙️ Search "The Visible Voices Podcast" on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

  • Will AI Make Things Better? Roy Perlis Seeks Better Outcomes for Patients

    Will AI Make Things Better? Roy Perlis Seeks Better Outcomes for Patients
    2026/04/01
    Dr. Roy Perlis, editor-in-chief of JAMA AI and psychiatrist-researcher at Mass General Brigham, joins to explore the evolving intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare. Drawing on his deep experience and expertise working in neural networks, genetics, and electronic health records, Roy outlines where AI is genuinely delivering — like ambient scribes and clinical decision support — while urging clinicians to stay skeptical, look for clinically meaningful outcomes, and resist the de-skilling that comes with over-reliance on automation. We also discuss mental health stigma among physicians, the promise and peril of AI chatbots in psychiatric care, and the looming psychiatry workforce crisis, leaving listeners with one essential question: will AI actually make things better?
