From a young age Matt developed an interest in technology, and throughout his career has combined this passion with his expertise in business and leading teams to improve the patient experience. Having seen digitalization transform industries, he recognized the need for healthcare organizations to harness software to increase access to care – transitioning away from a heavy reliance on phones and paper.
At Mend, Matt is focused on using the power of telemedicine, A.I. reminders, digital forms and more to make it easier for patients and providers to communicate. With deep experience in healthcare tech companies – including OneOncology and Varian Medical Systems – Matt understands how medical offices work and how providers can leverage technology to reduce administrative burden, spend more quality time with patients and operate more efficiently.
Driven by a commitment to excellence, Matt works relentlessly to curate solutions that help healthcare organizations care for more patients. A hands-on chief executive who works closely with customers, his goal is to deliver the best possible products and services to help as many patients as possible.


Originally from Michigan, Matt is a graduate of the University of Michigan-Dearborn, where he double majored in business administration and management information systems and earned a Master’s in Business Administration. Now based in Orlando, when Matt is not at work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters.

YH22-39. Greg Hammer, MD, “nonjudgmental Mindfulness”

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Greg Hammer ,MD, on air from September 20th

Greg Hammer, MD, Stanford School of Medicine professor, physician, best-selling author, and mindfulness expert, shares tips to become more nonjudgmental and explains the benefits.

Most people admirably strive to be “nonjudgmental” towards others.  Coming from a place of nonjudgment allows us to see the best in others without letting our own biases get in the way.  However, in order to become less judgmental, we need to change how we think about ourselves and the world around us. 

We make quick judgments every day about everything we see and put these things into categories, such as healthy/ unhealthy, affordable/ expensive, and good/ bad.  And how much more often do we make judgments about ourselves?? 

Mindfulness, or living in the present moment, gives us the space to practice nonjudgment.  First, we acknowledge how often we judge and that it is not necessary to judge.  Then we can practice living in the present and accepting the world, ourselves, and others as they are.

What is nonjudgment? Nonjudgment is observation without bias.  It’s understanding that reality is not necessarily good or bad— it just is. Nonjudgment is a natural extension of “living in the moment.”

What are the benefits of nonjudgment?

  • Nonjudgment allows you to see the best in yourself and others.
  • You’re freeing yourself from your own criticism.
  • You’re more open to positive experiences and opportunities.
  • What problems does judgment create?

Judgment prevents us from seeing what is really in front of us!  We risk missing out on making new friends, having great conversations, and learning something new.

Judgment stokes our own fears, anxieties, and insecurities which keep us stuck.

Our compulsive need to make judgments is tiring and takes our energy away from important tasks.

How does mindfulness inhibit judgment?

  • When we are focused on the present moment, we accept things as they are, which prevents judgment.
  • When practiced consistently, nonjudgment will become more natural, but it will most likely never be automatic.  Remaining nonjudgmental is a continual effort.

Any tips on practicing judgment?

  • Take a moment to be present (practice mindfulness) every morning before you start your day.  Set an intention to greet the first person you see with nonjudgment.
  • When you notice a judgment, release it.  You may not be able to stop all immediate judgments, but you can notice and capture them before they influence your behavior.
  • Remember that becoming aware of bias and judgment is an important first step.
  • If you notice that your self-talk is critical, try adjusting your tone to sound like you are talking to a dear friend.

I’m a father, husband, and passionate creator. I grew up in a small Massachusetts town and spent a lot of time outside and playing sports as a kid although I wasn’t very good. I’ve always been my weird self and known as a mellow kid who’s always joking. I went to the university of New Haven for a year after high school but dropped out after 2 semesters after dealing with deep depression, paranoia, and mood swings. I was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and spent what I call a sick kids gap year trying to write several novels, drinking heavily, sometimes avoiding public situations for weeks on end and sometimes contemplating big life changing moves. I spent the next few years unmedicated and self medicated openly struggling with bipolar disorder. I started dating my wife who suffered from a severe eating disorder and stood by me while I struggled through my own mental illness. I have a 1 year old son named Nohl (Nohlie) a cat named ozzy, and a daughter on the way named Leala Bowie, I love to paint, write, listen to music, hike and cook.

YH22-28. Jenny Watson. Elderberry Syrup Wonders

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Jenny Watson, on air from July 12th

As a new mom, I was desperate to find these ways to help my children feel their best and build strong immune systems, but I didn’t know where to turn. Elderberry Syrup helped me feel empowered as a mom to fuel my children with natural ingredients. Our company started from a simple Facebook post in 2017 where I wanted to share this incredible remedy with other moms looking to keep their families healthy. From that Facebook post, I grew this business from my home kitchen with customers walking up to my front door to a nationwide brand shipping directly to our customers in all 50 states (and now in Canada too)! And we still make the same small batch, hand crafted, fresh and delicious Elderberry Syrup every single week! Our small team puts their heart and soul into every jar, and we are honored to help so many families discover the benefits of elderberries.

Jenny Watson is the founder of The Elderberry Co. The wife of a pastor and stay-at-home mom with two small children, she was looking for ways to keep her family healthy, naturally. She started making Elderberry Syrup in her kitchen and found they were no longer fighting colds or flu. Friends and family were her first customers, but soon, it got to the point where strangers were showing up at her doorstep at all hours wanting to buy the magic elixir. Within a year, Jenny was making the syrup in mass batches in a commercial kitchen, and today, is managing a multi-million dollar business with a line of products and 11 employees.

YH22-22. Dr. Ernst von Schwarz, The Secret World of Stem Cell Therapy.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is your choice with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Ernst von Schwarz, on air from May 31st

World-renowned cardiologist and stem cell research pioneer, Dr. Ernst von Schwarz, author of the new book, The Secret World of Stem Cell Therapy: What YOU Need to Know About the Health, Beauty, and Anti-Aging Breakthrough

“Stem cell therapy is considered to be the most important discovery in modern medicine, likely bigger than the discovery of penicillin or the detection of the tuberculous bacteria.” 

In our current healthcare system, physicians perform reactive medicine, which means diagnostic testing and pharmaceutical therapy is aimed at improving symptoms that occur secondary to damage or loss of function. Regenerative medicine, on the other hand, aims to repair damaged tissue and restore functionality by recruiting the body’s self-healing properties. With our aging bodies, we do lose the regenerative power of stem cells. Stem cell therapy has the ability to partially induce regeneration of acutely injured or chronically damaged tissues. In fact, most clinical studies testing stem cell therapy for different conditions have shown beneficial results with very little adverse events (unlike the pharmaceutical therapies). However, stem cell therapy outside the frame of ongoing clinical trials is not FDA-approved and is considered experimental. 

In this interview, Dr. Ernst von Schwarz can talk about:

  • The “squaring the circle” challenge: The dilemma of modern stem cell therapy that is the problem of translating reliable basic research into daily clinical practice without business-driven delays by regulatory agencies or avoiding companies and providers who sell false promises to patients for thousands of dollars for the cure of diseases without knowing the risks and potential outcomes.
  • The process of approvals, costs, why this therapy is not FDA approved: The lack of understanding behind the scientific breakthroughs.
  • The Relationship Between Aging and Anti-Aging Medicine: The causes of cellular aging, reactive medicine today and sick care versus health care 
  • The Secret World of Stem Cells: Examining these power engines that are a resource for life, growth, and repair in living creatures. Stem cells have the ability to generate and replace cells with unlimited replication.
  • Heart/vascular & sexual problems and stem cell therapy solutions
  • His Personal Doubts: The experts, the experiments, the standard of therapies, his basic research and the KISS technique
