Ep 24 | What Real Healthcare Should Look Like with Chloe Harrouche from The Lanby

Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office with more questions than answers? Today, we sit down with Chloe Harrouche, founder and CEO of The Lanby, a patient-led concierge primary care practice in New York City that’s reimagining what healthcare could (and should) look like.
At just 23, Chloe faced a breast cancer diagnosis that exposed the cracks in conventional medicine. While treatment saved her life, she was left without guidance on prevention, nutrition, fertility, or long-term wellness. That gap pushed her to become her own advocate, and eventually to build the healthcare model she wished had existed: one that integrates functional medicine, personalized care teams, and real coordination between doctors and wellness experts.
Together, Alexandra and Chloe explore:
Why self-care alone isn’t a healthcare plan
The risks of “DIY wellness” without medical oversight
How functional medicine can bridge the gap between prevention and treatment
The unique care team model at The Lanby and why joint visits matter
Why moms in particular need support that goes beyond quick fixes and supplement trends
Whether you’re a mom juggling endless wellness advice, a provider looking for a better model, or someone who simply wants to take proactive steps toward real health, this conversation will affirm your intuition, challenge the system, and give you a hopeful glimpse of what true patient-led care can be.
