It's a deeply personal episode where I bare my soul about my changing priorities, dreams for the future, and the profound lessons I've learned over these incredible 9 years.

    This episode is packed with heartfelt reflections, a few tears (yep, I got emotional!), and hopefully, some wisdom that'll resonate with you, whether you're a doctor or not.

    So grab a tissue (or two) and join me for this final ride. Let's laugh, maybe cry a little, and celebrate the amazing journey we've been on together. Thank you for being part of my story - now let's dive into this last chapter!

life changing! 20 yrs ago I lost significant weight with efforts solely on exercise then the weight came back when my schedule had to change. I have lived with sense of utter failure / hypocrisy much of my adult life. I am now the most healthy I have been in ALL my life mentally and physically. Thank you

down by 107 lbs since I began my journey in 21

I’m not a busy physician- but I’m married to one and I’ve struggled with this last 20 pounds for the past 20 years plus. I’m hopeful - although increasing my fat intake feels very scary!!

Amazingly pragmatic approach to changing your habits by changing your perceptions

I enjoy the podcast and the material is really useful. but unfortunately the first third of the podcast is typically unrelated. I understand wanting to story tell and be relatable but if it's not about the topic (sorry to sound harsh) I really don't care. as the podcast went along so much of the beginning was self serving - requesting reviews & reading them. maybe put that stuff at the end so I can get to the actual "meat" of it.

useful once she gets to actual material
