Upstream Medicine: Dr. Grant Zarzour, Sperity Health | Bioscience Innovation
What if the best medicine isn’t surgery or a prescription — but prevention?
In this episode, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Grant Zarzour shares how personal experiences reshaped his view of healthcare — from fixing joints in the operating room to helping people avoid the operating room altogether.
After witnessing the challenges of his father’s illness and his son’s early autism diagnosis, Grant founded Sperity Health— a longevity and preventive-medicine company with locations across the U.S. that helps people lower their risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and dementia through data, diagnostics, and personalized care.
From Medicine 3.0 to the power of wearables, AI, and lifestyle science, Grant explains how Sperity Health is changing what modern healthcare looks like — and how Hatch Fairhope is helping innovators like him connect ideas, technology, and community to transform health across the Gulf Coast.
Quote:
“You don’t want dementia. You’d do anything to prevent it — yet every day, you’re making the same choices that lead you there. You’re at a fork in the road.”
🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How Sperity Health is redefining longevity and preventive care nationwide
- The personal stories that inspired Grant to launch a new model of medicine
- What Medicine 3.0 means in practice — and how it aligns with ideas from Dr. Peter Attia’s bestselling book Outlive
- How AI and human insight work together to personalize health
- The “CFO on the treadmill” story — and why small wake-up moments can save lives
- How Hatch Fairhope is connecting science, business, and community on the Gulf Coast
