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." Katie's got her own story to tell, and Amy weighs in on some heavy issues surrounding this controversial, yet increasingly popular, piece of wellness culture.

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 heard Dr. Ross Palmer tell a story in a webinar about a dog named Griz, complete with video montage, and I knew I needed to meet him. Luckily, he's the kind of guy who answers emails from complete strangers AND gets up early to record with them at 7 AM before a day of teaching.
Ross and I fit a lot into this conversation, including his own health wake-up call and reset and why Griz and his owner continue to inspire him, not just in the exam room but in other areas of his life as well. Turns out we both have some compulsive tendencies, and he shares why sometimes life stressors that get in the way of achieving those big goals can actually be a gift.
I think everyone can take something away from this episode. For a start, try this exercise: take a blank notebook and fill the front with things you love and the back with things you don't - find out what Ross does with his toward the end of the conversation.
