What does it actually mean to plan for your health, not just react to problems? In this episode of EnRich Your Life, Rich sits down with Dr. Raymond Zakhari, a triple board-certified nurse practitioner in adult health, family practice, and psychiatric–mental health, and founder of Metro Medical Direct, to talk about what proactive health planning can look like as you move through your 50s and into retirement.

Dr. Zakhari breaks down how everyday people quietly drift into what he calls "permanent patient" status, why the healthcare system is designed around silos rather than solutions, and what five non-negotiables you should be focused on right now, starting with sleep.

They also dig into the sandwich generation reality, caring for aging parents without a plan, the rising impact of cannabis on mental health, and why concierge medicine may be the model that finally puts patients back in control.

If you've spent years planning your finances, but not enough time planning  for your health, this episode is your wake-up call.
