Building a Medical Practice on Trust and Science

Carlos and Nathalie Jorge joined host Steve Dunn on The Charlotte Ledger Podcast to talk about building Companion Health on a foundation of research, compassion, and honesty with clients.

The conversation covered how a concierge and functional medicine model can put the human back in healthcare, the family story that shaped Companion Health's mission, and the challenges of running a medical practice as both clinicians and entrepreneurs. They also discussed how to navigate health advice on social media, the value of evidence-based care, and why a doctor's willingness to admit uncertainty builds trust. The episode closed with their vision for bringing high-touch, evidence-based care to more people, and with the systemic issues in U.S. healthcare that make that work necessary.

The episode followed Carlos and Nathalie's recognition as 2025 Charlotte Ledger 40 Over 40 honorees.
