Episode Details

Dave Appel is calling on the fitness industry to confront stigma and embrace medical integration at a pivotal moment in modern health. With one in eight Americans now using GLP-1 therapies—and data showing these individuals are more likely to join and remain at gyms when properly supported—he believes this shift represents the industry’s greatest growth opportunity. Through KORB Health, a virtual healthcare provider, Dave is embedding medical weight loss, hormone optimization, mental health, and longevity programs directly into gyms. By employing dedicated clinicians and creating co-branded, integrated care models, KORB helps fitness facilities generate recurring revenue while offering members personalized, continuous support that redefines resilience and whole-person wellness.
