Podcast and YouTube Production for Health Practitioners
Your patients are already on YouTube. They are searching for answers to symptoms they have been dismissed about, conditions they do not fully understand and practitioners they can trust before they ever book an appointment.
The practitioner who shows up in that search — with honest, clear, empathetic content — wins the trust before the consultation even begins.
I am Bren Russell. I produce podcasts and YouTube content for health experts who want to build that trust at scale. Not through hype or content marketing. Through real conversations that make the right person feel understood.
Talk to Bren
Patients today arrive informed, sceptical and having already Googled their symptoms. The practitioner who built trust before the appointment wins.
The era of "trust me, I'm a doctor" is over. Patients have access to more information than ever — and more misinformation. What they are looking for is a practitioner who understands their specific experience and can explain it clearly without talking down to them.
A well-produced podcast or YouTube channel does something no ad campaign can. It lets a patient spend 40 minutes with you before they ever make contact. By the time they book, they already trust you. They already know how you think. They already believe you might be the person who can help.
That is not marketing. That is relationship building at scale.
Josh Dodds is a health practitioner specialising in complex, often misunderstood conditions. His audience had tried conventional medicine and felt dismissed. They were searching YouTube for answers — and not finding content that spoke to their experience.
We built his show around keyword research that identified what his audience was actually searching for. Not what he assumed they wanted to hear — what they were typing into YouTube at 11pm feeling frustrated and unheard. Then we produced conversations with credible guests around those specific topics.
The result was content that felt like exactly what his audience had been looking for. And YouTube's algorithm noticed.
The analytics behind one episode produced for Josh Dodds — Wiser Than Before.
107k views. 23,400 hours watched. 1,500 new subscribers from one conversation about histamine intolerance — recorded remotely, no studio.
YouTube pushed this to 1.3 million people who had never heard of Josh. Because the topic matched what his audience was already searching for.
The episode that reached 1.3 million people.
A practitioner talking honestly about a misunderstood condition. An audience that had been searching for exactly this. YouTube's algorithm connecting the two.

Patients arrive sceptical
People with complex or misunderstood conditions have often been dismissed before. They are not looking for credentials — they are looking for a practitioner who gets it. Content that speaks to their specific experience builds that trust faster than any qualification wall in your waiting room.
Your audience is already on YouTube
People with health concerns search YouTube the same way they search Google. They are looking for answers to specific symptoms, conditions and treatments. A well-produced video that matches that search intent appears in front of exactly the right person at exactly the right moment.
You know things most creators don't
The health space on YouTube is full of content from people who are not practitioners. Your clinical knowledge, your patient experience and your honest approach to complex conditions is genuinely rare. That expertise is the foundation of content that builds real authority.
Content that works while you sleep
One strong episode can generate views, trust and inbound enquiries for years. Unlike social media posts that disappear in 48 hours, a well-produced YouTube video or podcast episode is an asset that keeps working. The Josh Dodds episode is still growing two years after it was published.
Keyword research around real patient concerns
Before we record anything I research what your audience is actually searching for. Not what you assume they want to hear — the specific symptoms, conditions and questions they are typing into YouTube at night. That research shapes every topic and every title.
Audio and video to broadcast standard
Clean, credible production that reflects the quality of your practice. Remote setup — no studio required. Full video episodes for YouTube, audio for podcast platforms and short clips for social. Record once, publish everywhere.
Titles and thumbnails that earn the click
The best content in the world does not grow if nobody clicks on it. I write titles and design thumbnails that match exactly what your audience is searching for. The Josh Dodds episode had 1.3 million impressions because the packaging made the algorithm confident it knew who to show it to.
Show notes, chapters and SEO
Every episode published with chapters, show notes and descriptions written for both search and human readers. The parts most producers ignore — and the parts that extend your reach significantly over time.
One person across everything
You work with me directly. No agency, no handoffs, no explaining your practice to someone new every month. The same person who shapes the strategy produces every episode. That consistency is what makes a show grow.
YouTube Shorts as the discovery engine
Short clips from long-form episodes are the fastest way to reach new audiences. One strong moment from a 45-minute conversation — packaged correctly — can pull thousands of new viewers into your full episode and your channel.
