You feel fine, but do you really know what's happening inside your body? And what happens when you want more comprehensive health testing but struggle with the cost, access, or limitations of your current healthcare options?
In this episode of Travel & Transformation, I sit down with William Ban, co-founder and chief operating officer of HiMedi, a South Korea-based healthcare concierge platform that connects international patients with medical facilities for preventative health screenings.
William shares how his own experience with a comprehensive health checkup in South Korea changed his perspective on healthcare. What he expected to be a routine physical turned into a much more extensive screening, with blood work, hormone testing, ultrasounds, imaging, and more, all completed in one location in about two hours.
We explore how South Korea approaches preventative healthcare, why comprehensive testing can be difficult to access in the US, and how looking at multiple health markers together can provide a broader picture of what's happening in your body.
We also talk about medical tourism, the importance of finding trusted clinics, and how HiMedi helps international patients navigate appointments, language barriers, and follow-up care.
IN THIS EPISODE:
For me, one of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is the importance of advocating for your own health. Having access to more information doesn't automatically give you all the answers, but it can help you ask better questions and make more informed decisions about your next steps.
If this conversation got you thinking differently about your health, I hope you'll share it with someone who may find it helpful.
BEST MOMENTS
“The best advocate for your own health is you.”
“You can't fix anything that you can't measure.”
“Every human, every body is slightly different.”
“Are you actually really fine?”
