Next Third Best Third
062: Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Doctor: The Future of Medicine & Faith // Medical Transactions vs. True Healthcare
In this episode of Next Third Best Third, I sit down with my good friend and brother, Dr. Kevin Gates — a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor, from Baylor Scott and White, who is reshaping the way we think about health. Kevin shares his unique perspective on the current shift happening in American healthcare and why hope is one of the most powerful tools for healing.
As we dive deeper, Dr. Kevin opens up about the challenges patients face when they feel defeated, isolated, or hopeless — and why our beliefs about health matter as much as our treatments. From faith to functional medicine, from simple steps like walking and lifting weights to deeper truths about identity and mindset, Kevin brings wisdom, humility, and practical steps that can change your health journey.
What I love most about this conversation is Dr. Kevin’s willingness to be real. He’s not just a doctor behind a white coat; he’s a man who has wrestled with fear, walked through pain, and discovered that faith and hope are game-changers. Whether you’re struggling with chronic illness, feeling stuck, or simply want to take your health to the next level, this episode will inspire you to believe that better is possible.
