Turning the Tide on Chronic Disease - CMS Medicare Big Experiment - Yuri Sudhakar

Scott Fulton

New Medicare funding model could move from sick care to building healthspan.

This WHEALTHSPAN Podcast episode explores how #lifestyle #medicine can transform #healthcare in the wake of CMS’s decision to fund lifestyle‑based models for chronic disease starting in 2026. The conversation with Nudj Health CEO, Yuri Sudhakar, unpacks how targeted changes in nutrition, activity, sleep, stress, and social connection can prevent, treat, and in some cases reverse cardiometabolic diseases, shifting care from reactive “sick care” to proactive healthspan. The episode highlights what it will take for clinicians and health systems to operationalize lifestyle medicine—integrating multidisciplinary teams, remote support, and meaningful measurement—so that evidence‑based lifestyle interventions become a routine part of everyday care, not a bolt‑on or afterthought.
