My guest Dr. Nicole T. Rochester is a board-certified pediatrician, professional health advocate, TEDx, and keynote speaker, and the CEO of Your GPS Doc, LLC, an innovative company that helps aging individuals, those with chronic illnesses, and their family caregivers navigate the healthcare system.
