In this episode of Titans of Healthcare, host Justin Bellante sits down with Dr. Carl D. Paige (Chief Medical Officer) and Terry Paige (CEO), the husband-and-wife team behind the Medical Transformation Center in Louisville, Kentucky. They’ve spent three decades building businesses together and the last decade-plus building MTC—a practice devoted to cellular medicine: optimizing energy production, immune balance, gut health, and recovery so the whole system performs better. From EOS-driven leadership to lab-backed protocols, they explain how culture, process, and science combine to move care from reactive “sick care” to proactive transformation.
Key Takeaways
• Cellular First: MTC treats at the cell level—mitochondria, biochemistry, immune modulation, and inflammation—so organs and systems can follow.
• From Primary Care to Regenerative: After ~30 years in traditional IM/Peds, Dr. Paige shifted to functional/regenerative medicine to solve “unsolved” cases and ditch the one-diagnosis/one-drug treadmill.
• Culture & EOS: Clear values (compassion, collaboration, commitment to action, critical thinking) + the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) let a 3-person clinic scale to a 19-person center.
• Outcomes in the Real World: Common wins include recovery from long-COVID–style fatigue/brain fog, autoimmune symptom improvement, and natural fertility restoration by optimizing health—not chasing one symptom.
• New Modalities: They’re excited by pairing focused transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with regenerative products (e.g., exosome-based approaches) to target tissue more effectively.
• Leadership Lessons: Hire for values, hold people accountable, and don’t “catch the ball” for underperformance. Slow down to build SOPs so you can scale fast.
• Proactive > Reactive: Patients increasingly want data-driven longevity and healthspan; clinicians who ignore this shift will be left behind.
• Biohacking—with Brains: Lots of innovation, but also noise; trained clinicians must separate trends from traps and insist on mechanism + evidence.
