70: Reimagining Health Beyond the Prescription Pad: 2024 Awards Honoree Emily Cordes

In this episode of the Compassionate Leaders Circle Podcast, we speak with Emily Cordes, Lead Physician at Root, Inc. and a 2024 Compassionate Leaders Circle Awards honoree. With a bold vision for the future of healthcare, Emily is challenging the conventional “pill for the ill” mindset and advocating for a more holistic, sustainable approach to well-being.

Emily shares how she helps individuals build long-term health systems that work in the context of real life — not just ideal conditions — and why personalization, practicality, and prevention must be central to modern healthcare. She also offers insights into the true potential of wearables like smartwatches and health monitors: tools for awareness and accountability, not anxiety.

Tune in for a refreshing and actionable take on how to reclaim agency over your health, one habit at a time.
