The Vet Reset
"By the time I finished that run, I was like, OK so I'm going to quit my job and do something new." Dr. Maggie Brown-Bury talks about moving from ER to full-time relief, how puffins look when they fly, and the magic of semi-anonymous cheering.

Dr. Amy Porto, registered dietitian, professor, and intuitive eating counselor, is back - and this time we're tackling the complex phenomenon called "functional medicine."

Dr. Audrey Hoffmann doesn't believe in work-life balance. Whether she's lifting heavy barbells in her basement or running her busy practice, she's all in.

Dr. Ross Palmer shares how one dog inspires him (both in and out of the veterinary hospital), the importance of remembering you're more than what you do for a living - and why sometimes it's OK to let life be the one to hit reset.

April, a personal trainer and studio owner and a great friend and mentor, chats with me about hitting reset on her career, working in workouts when her whole job is to get other people to work out, and the enormous benefits of strength training for women and busy professionals.

Get perspective on the pervasive nature of diet culture with Dr. Amy Porto, registered dietitian, professor, and certified intuitive eating counselor.

Why I think coaching is so important - and why I became one (spoiler: to help others love running as much as I do - especially those who don't think they're meant to run).

Dr. Lauren Smith of The Vetitude stops by to discuss loneliness, empathy, learned helplessness, and those universal demons: body image, diet culture, weight stigma, and why commenting on someone's weight loss can be exactly what they don't need to hear.
info_outlineI loved getting to know Dr. Jennifer Quammen during this conversation - she experiences vet med from a lot of different angles, which gives her a unique ability to relate to others in the field. Along with being a practicing vet, she and her partner run Veterinarian Coaching to help vets thrive and grow both in practice and beyond. Jen is also involved in organized veterinary medicine through the KVMA and is Chief Veterinary Officer at TeleVet.
It's hard to believe she has any free time, but she is also an athlete (kettlebells are her jam) and makes time to relax and allow herself to be. In this hour, we talk about boundaries (just because you can doesn't mean you should!), similarities between ultrarunners and veterinarians (high performers abound), and how intellectual diversity can benefit vet med.
If you haven't met Jen yet, take some time to listen. She's engaging and funny and relatable - and wise.
