As we bring 2023 to a close, we acknowledge we’ve learned quite a bit about addressing the Wellness Paradox this past year. This knowledge was driven by our amazing guest that all provided insight and actionable to address the gap that exists between fitness professionals and the medical community. 

In episode 112, we summarize the collective thoughts of expert guests from this past year about how to address the Wellness Paradox. We trust that you’ll find their insights even more enlightening when combined together than they even were when you listened to them independently at the end of every episode. 

We sincerely thank our guests for sharing their time, expertise, and passion this past year. We thank all of you, our listeners, for engaging with us and taking what you’ve learned to frontline of healthcare, everyday. We look forward to providing more insight, actionables, and inspiration in 2024.
