This is the White Code Investor Podcast, where we help those who wear the White Code get a fair shake on Wall Street.

We've been helping doctors and other high-income professionals stop doing dumb things with their money since 2011.

Here's your host, Dr. Jim Dolly.

This is White Code Investor Podcast No. 122, frugling down with Disha Spath, MD.

Thanks so much for what you do. I had a unique opportunity this week. I got the opportunity to take care of an 800-pound man.

I wanted to give a special shout-out to those you working with the severely obese, whether you're in primary care or you're a bariatric surgeon.

This is a real issue, and I think you're making a big difference in helping these folks.

Their lifespan is shortened so dramatically by their weight that anything you can do, even helping them to drop just 100 or 200 pounds, makes a dramatic, dramatic difference in their comorbidities and their lifespan.

As interesting as I call it, the cardiologist about him, because he was having a chest pain, the cardiologist said there is almost nothing I can do with this man, because we could not put him on the cath lab table.

We could not put him on the CT scan table. It's just a very, very difficult person to take care of just because of his sheer size.

And so those of you who are working on this problem, and most importantly, probably preventing this problem, I wanted to give you a special shout-out and thank you for what you do with your daily work.

As much as you are trying to help others, I want to help you to be successful in your finances, and that's what the White Code Investor podcast is all about.

I estimate that 80% of doctors need want and should use a financial advisor and or an investment manager.

Some investment gurus, such as Dr. William Bernstein, think my estimate is way too low.

At any rate, if you want to use an advisor temporarily or for your entire life, there's no reason to feel guilty about it.

Just make sure you are getting good advice at a fair price.

If you need help updating your financial planner, just getting one in place, check out our list of recommended financial advisors at whitecodeinvestor.com slash financial-advisors.

You can do this, and the White Code Investor can help.

I told you last week about the passive income MD conference that is still available, I believe, for registration.

I don't know how much longer it's going to be. That will take place on October 26th in Los Angeles.

It's a one-day conference with some of the biggest names and physician real estate investing that there are out there.

Letty Alto, who also be speaking of the White Code Investor conference, is there Eric Taith, Victor Mingona, Trevor McGregor, Aaron Kaplan.
