Season 4 Trailer - A Healer's Self-Care Journey

"We're taught to sacrifice our health for others while the system disregards our wellbeing entirely."

After helping you navigate healthcare for three seasons, I realized I wasn't navigating my own. I was pushing through exhaustion and modeling the depletion I warned against.


This season documents my real journey back to health plus honest conversations with practitioners choosing a different way. Originally created for Third Opinion MD YouTube, now available in podcast format for your commute, walks, or whenever you need audio inspiration.


Featuring:

  • Personal reflections on healing
  • Raw practitioner conversations
  • What actually helps
  • The paradigm shift healthcare needs


For healthcare providers running on empty and anyone ready for real transformation.


"Choosing your health isn't giving up. It's the beginning of everything."
