Marshall Allen and “The Healers Have Lost Control”

Back in February, Marshall Allen interviewed Stacey Richter for the Allen Health Academy newsletter article titled "The Healers Have Lost Control".  In the interview Marshall and Stacey cover how she got started with the Relentless Health Value podcast and goes on to discuss who her audience is and the ideal guest. 

In the interview, Stacey highlights the financial burdens on working Americans and employers, pointing out that financial interests often drive health care decisions. She stresses the importance of education and proactive measures, recommending resources like Allen Health Academy and her podcast.

Stacey is honored that a pro like Marshall took the time to write about her and the work she does with the Relentless Health Value podcast. In an upcoming episode, Stacey honors the loss of Marshall Allen who recently passed away. Marshall was a frequent guest on the RHV podcast most recently in Episode 425.
