Hi, I'm Dr. Curtis Koons.
My weeks are a mix that shouldn't work on paper but somehow does. I'm a physician - trained as an anesthesiologist, still practicing - and I spend part of my time on the executive side of medicine, working on how hospitals deliver quality care. I'm also a founder: I started Bluegrass Precision Wellness and Bluegrass Precision Supplements, which keeps me close to the unglamorous realities of running real companies - hiring, operations, product, what to build next.
And then there's the tech itch. I spend a strange amount of time in code editors, AI tools, and automation platforms, testing how emerging technology can quietly reshape how businesses run, how medicine works, and how people live.
So that's the resume: medicine, healthcare quality, companies, code.
But none of it is the headline.
The headline is everything around the work - being a husband, a dad to three boys, a friend. That's the part I'm optimizing for. The rest exists to serve it, and it took me longer than I'd like to admit to get the order right.
The Slow Saturday is where I think out loud about all of it - medicine, building, technology, health, and the life the work is supposed to serve. No hype, no hot takes. Just one honest note each Saturday, from someone who's still figuring it out.
What I write about
Most weeks I write about one of these. Subscribe and I'll send you the next one when it goes out.
- Life outside the clinic - fatherhood, marriage, music, money, and the rest of what a week actually holds
- Medicine from the inside - notes from the room where it happens, not the headlines about it
- Longevity and the long game - prevention, fitness that predicts your future, and the small choices that compound for decades
- Training and the body - strength, mobility, and the work that actually shows up when you need it
- Habits that hold up - building an environment that does the work, so willpower doesn't have to
