What if healthcare WASN'T about waiting until everything went wrong?

In this episode of Hooked on Health, Concierge PT owner & CEO Dr. Sean Lordan, DPT, OCS, CSCS sits down with Kate DiFiore, MSN, AGAC-NP, BC, founder of Aura Longevity & Wellness, to unpack what’s broken in modern healthcare, and why preventative, personalized medicine is the future.

After years working in hospital-based care, Kate shifted away from reactive medicine toward a holistic, total-body approach focused on longevity, hormone health, metabolic wellness, and lifestyle-driven prevention. Together, they discuss why many people don’t feel like themselves anymore, how “normal” labs can still miss the full picture, and why strength, movement, and consistency matter more than perfection as we age.

In this episode, you’ll learn...

✦ The real difference between reactive vs. preventative healthcare

✦ Why modern medicine often treats symptoms instead of root causes ✦ How personalized care supports longevity and long-term health

✦ Simple habits that make a big impact on how you feel and age

If you’re ready to take ownership of your health (and stop waiting until something breaks), this episode will change how you think about healthcare.
