Episode 101: The Legal Fight for the Soul of Medicine

Please join us next Thursday at 7pm Eastern - Steve will talk with special guests Dr. Michael Turner and his attorney Pete Serrano. Dr. Turner is a graduate of Stanford University, Harvard Medical School and The Mayo Clinic. He is an Integrative Medicine physician and CEO of his own national, concierge practice – and with the assistance of his attorney Pete Serano of the Silent Majority Foundation he is suing the Washington Medical Commission for interfering with doctors’ freedom to practice medicine. 

Dr. Michael Turner is a graduate of Stanford University, Harvard Medical School and The Mayo Clinic and has treated over 10,000 patients since 2009. He practices Integrative Medicine in his own national concierge practice, providing personalized approaches (including hormones, sleep, recovery, nutrition, supplements and exercise) to help people achieve their optimal state of health. Called “genuine”,“caring”, and “the best doctor in the world” by patients, he brings a high degree of empathy, trademark optimism, and a holistic approach to patient care.

As a 46-year-old father of 5 children, and CEO of his successful practice, he challenged himself towards optimal health by successfully passing the Navy SEALS fitness test (one of the most difficult in the world). As a former classroom teacher, and with a background in Theater, he has become a sought-after guest on multiple podcasts, spoken at national conferences, chaired workshops and created workplace wellness programs. He is also the host of the Manna podcast and has over 14,000 active subscribers on his Substack.

Attorney Peter Serrano is a Director and the General Counsel for Silent Majority Foundation (SMF), a 501c3 non-profit organization. Pete is married to his wife, PJ, and is a proud father of three. Pete's first job after law school was with a small water litigation firm in D.C., where Pete sued the government to stop illegal rulemaking. Since that time, Pete has fought for open government to protect private business and individual rights. With Silent Majority Foundation, Pete and the SMF team have fought the government to protect individual freedoms, including free speech, religious rights, medical freedom and autonomy, and individual rights to bear arms. In SMF’s medical freedom work, SMF has represented four MDs (including Dr. Turner) and one PA to protect their licenses from the Washington Medical Commission.  SMF has also sued the Washington Medical Commission for its adoption of a covid-19 Position Statement, which it has enforced against Drs. who have spoken out against the “mainstream” covid-19 narrative that the shots and the government’s covid-19 treatment protocol were safe and effective.
