My Expert Odyssey (Part 1): Depression, Diabetes & Trauma
Description
In this first of two Season 1 bonus episodes, we get a bit more personal with the expert guests whose own experiences motivate and inform their professional endeavors.
Dr. Jacob Meyer, Director of the Wellbeing & Exercise Lab at Iowa State, confides that, “My own personal struggles with depression coincided with periods when I was much less active.”
Diabetes ran in the family of Dr. Sheri Colberg, diagnosed with Type 1 at age four. The author of a dozen books on diabetes and exercise, she recounts encouraging her Type 1 grandmother on laps around the backyard from an early age.
And DPT Lisa Lowe, former able-bodied competitor now para rowing athlete and coach, describes re-adopting the sport she loved after a horrific car accident did significant damage to her legs.
Listen in for the personal sagas of My Body Odyssey experts in these special bonus episodes.
My Body Odyssey is a Fluent Knowledge production. Original music by Ryan Adair Rooney.
