AI in Healthcare: Best Practices and Critical Pitfalls for Wellness Practitioners
Thu Feb 05 2026
AI is everywhere. Your inbox is full of tools promising to revolutionize your practice. Your colleagues are either raving about efficiency gains or warning about ethical dangers. So what's a wellness practice owner supposed to do?
Anna and Kendall tackle AI head-on, sharing how they're actually using it in their practices while addressing the serious concerns many healthcare providers have. As Anna admits, "I use AI constantly... for me it helps level the playing field as a neurodiverse person."
The conversation covers practical applications—from AI scribes that reduce charting burden to using AI for hiring decisions and content creation. Anna shares a fascinating approach: "I started bringing in different data points and asking AI to synthesize data... an applicant's DISC assessment plus their resume, plus feedback from interviews... where are the green flags, where are the red flags."
But the episode doesn't shy away from the darker side. Kendall issues a stark warning about AI therapy companies: "People are dying... if you have someone using it who has suicidal, homicidal thoughts and the AI is now agreeing with them that their lethal thoughts are in the best interest of everyone—these things are happening."
The hosts balance enthusiasm for helpful AI tools with clear-eyed recognition of where human expertise and presence remain irreplaceable. If you're trying to navigate AI in your wellness practice—knowing what to embrace and what to avoid—this episode offers essential guidance.
