Friday After Clinic is two podiatrists talking about what they wish their patients, and their profession, understood about healthcare.
Dr. Joe Dahlin and Dr. Anna Moore run Colorado Foot and Ankle Wellness in Grand Junction, Colorado, a direct care medicine practice. There’s no insurance in the middle, just a patient, a provider, and enough time to get to the why. Both are board-certified podiatrists, and Anna brings a nutrition and functional medicine lens.
Each week they take on foot and ankle care, nutrition, functional medicine, and the business of medicine from the direct care side. The themes are root cause over symptoms, prevention over reaction, and education over quick fixes, along with what it costs when the system gets it backwards.
It’s for patients who want to understand their own bodies. It’s for anyone curious what direct care medicine actually is. And it’s for providers wondering if there’s a way out. Joe and Anna are as frustrated with healthcare as you are, which is why they built something different.
