011: Launching & Growing A Successful Practice With Scott Rattigan

What if the biggest barrier to healing isn't the treatment itself, but who holds the power to make change happen?

In this episode of the Health and Wellness Marketing Show, Uli Iserloh sat down with JR Burgess, three-time bestselling author and healthcare innovator who has transformed over 100 clinics worldwide.

JR shares his remarkable journey from building the top-volume stem cell clinic in the country to discovering the revolutionary concept of "power transfer" - the critical shift that determines whether patients succeed or fail in their healing journey. From losing insurance contracts to winning innovation awards, JR reveals how practitioners can become influential guides who empower patients to take ownership of their health while building profitable, outcome-based practices.

If you're a practitioner struggling with patient compliance, feeling isolated in your practice, or wondering how to create lasting change beyond the treatment room, this conversation offers a blueprint for transforming both your impact and your business model.

Listen to Learn:

  • Discover the "power transfer" concept and why both doctors and patients are right when they blame each other for healthcare failures.
  • Learn the four-option framework that meets patients exactly where they are - from insurance-based care to transformational protocols used by professional athletes.
  • Understand how "coopetition" (cooperation + competition) can replace healthcare ego battles and create collaborative care teams that get better outcomes.
  • Explore the white-labeled lifestyle medicine model that allows practitioners to scale their impact without additional time, money, or risk through 50/50 partnerships.
  • Find out why becoming preeminent at education and communication is more powerful than any treatment modality for creating lasting patient transformation.
