They cite examples from the VA whole health model and community health centers, discuss team-based care, group visits and using existing evaluation and management (E\/M) billing while advocating for payment reform. The episode highlights training needs in residency programs, small, actionable practice changes, clinician well-being and the risks and opportunities of AI in supporting whole health.    Topics by timestamp  00:00 Welcome and guests    01:25 Why family medicine    03:36 Why whole health now    05:22 Defining whole health    08:22 Lifestyle medicine link    10:54 Principles and team care    13:03 Real-world examples    16:09 Billing and payment reality    22:05 Training and resources    25:57 Takeaways and next steps    29:51 Salutogenesis explained    30:57 AI and closing    Additional resources  Family Physicians: Leaders in Whole Health   AAFP Pilot Program Shows Value of Lifestyle Medicine   Prevention & Wellness  Scaling Whole Health Strategies in Primary Care: Action Brief   Disclaimer: Copyright 2026.
