Beyond Clinical Walls

Here's the thing - real healthcare advocacy happens beyond clinical walls. It's about understanding our bodies, knowing our resources, and helping each other navigate the healthcare system.

The Beyond Clinical Walls Podcast guides you to becoming your best advocate. Created and hosted by Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell, MD, MS (known to listeners as Dr. Bayo), this show empowers you with the knowledge to understand your body and navigate a complex healthcare system so you can advocate for the care you deserve.

Dr. Bayo combines her extensive medical expertise with real-world insights. As Medical Director for Saint Mary's Urgent Cares and for the Washoe County Sexual Assault Response Team, she brings a unique perspective on healthcare and patient advocacy.

Dr. Bayo is a nationally recognized health advocate, a national speaker with a TEDx Talk called "Do No Harm" with over 2 million views, a national news contributor, and brings years of experience as a practicing physician to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and practical healthcare navigation.

In each episode, Dr. Bayo speaks with guests who are passionate advocates of health-related topics to help you learn from the best. Together, they provide insights and strategies that empower you to take control of your healthcare journey.
