In the premiere episode of Taking Back Healthcare, the new podcast from Athelas, Chief Business Officer Hersh Solanki and VP of Sales Greg Martinez sit down with Mark Newman, CEO of Nomi Health, for a candid conversation about the future of healthcare in America.

Newman shares his perspective on why the U.S. spends more on healthcare than any other nation—with little to show for it—and how technology can serve as a powerful lever to reduce costs, improve access, and cut through inefficiency. From real-world examples to bold predictions, this episode sets the tone for a series focused on innovation, accountability, and reclaiming control over a broken system.
