Real Life Fitness for Real Women

 

Dr. Anne Meneghetti, licensed physician, has come up with some great ways to make fitness a part of your real life – and, no, it’s not the four-hours-in-the-gym-every-day model. So if you make big excuses for not exercising, Dr. Anne recommends you make a very small commitment.  If you can’t keep that commitment, make a smaller commitment.  So, if you’re not getting the amount of exercise you’d like (just like Dr. Ann and me!), tune in to find out how to make fitness fit into your life, and call in with your fitness trials, challenges and triumphs. 

Anne Meneghetti, MD, specializes in mind-body health communications. She received her medical degree at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School before completing her Internal Medicine Internship and Residency at the University of Michigan Medical Center.  Following Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowships at Boston University Medical Center, she obtained a Doctorate in Integrative Medicine at Capital University of Integrative Medicine in Washington, DC.

Dr. Anne is the author of Nature Cures:  Alternative Approaches for Common Conditions in Women.  She offers a menu of approaches for each condition: modern medicine, folk remedies, herbal medicine, Ayurveda from India, Chinese medicine and mind-body healing.

She blogs for RealforMe.com and has won numerous awards for her work in health policy, promotion of nutrition therapy and anti-smoking treatment.

Epidsode #38: Helping Vets Heal with Judith Broder

Helping Vets Heal

 

Dr. Judith Broder created the Soldiers Project to provide free, confidential counseling for soldiers – and their families.  Her goal is to help soldiers come home in the fullest sense, not just physically but mentally, by preventing problems and offering treatment early.

As a psychiatrist, she knew that without help some soldiers would never get past what they had seen and done. And, though she knew very little about the military health system before she started, this social innovator knew enough about how people react to trauma to be convinced that with more than a million soldiers returning to their old lives - sometimes after multiple deployments - there would be a need for help.

Judith’s journey to her encore career and the great work she’s doing will give you an inspired perspective on your own “what’s next”.  Tune in!

Judith T. Broder, MD, is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who practiced in Los Angeles from 1972 until her retirement in 2009. She was active in teaching psychiatric residents and candidates at psychoanalytic institutes throughout her career. She is a Training and Supervising analyst at LAISPS.

She founded The Soldiers Project, which provides unlimited, free, confidential therapy to combat veterans, in 2005. The sessions aim to alleviate the behavioral problems that can result from combat trauma and address personal, moral, and spiritual crises that may follow grim wartime experiences or personal actions.

The five-year-old program has a network of more than 200 volunteers, has treated more than 300 patients in the Los Angeles area, and is being replicated in other cities. Judith is a 2009 Purpose Prize winner.

Hate Exercise?  Give It a Tri!

Joanna Ezinga is not your typical 58-year-old.  In 2004 she returned to school and turned a long standing commitment to exercise into a new career.  She completed a program in physical fitness, became an American Council on Exercise Certified Personal Trainer, and in 2006 launched Ezinga Fitness, a multi-faceted company dedicated to helping women achieve their health and fitness goals. 

A competitive triathlete for almost 20 years, Joanna knew first-hand the power of the sport to transform a woman's life.
