    Twin coughs can’t hold our hosts back as they express gratitude for their respiratory symptoms and dive into the topic of bodies being truth-tellers. They explore the idea that our bodies can’t lie, but sometimes the data they signal can be outdated. Jamie explains how diagnoses can be either helpful doorways or unhelpful destinations. And Joan shares a few stories about how this principle has made practicing medicine more enjoyable.

    Your Body is Alive
    Oct 29 2024
    Did you know your body is alive? Today, Joan and Jamie explore the idea that our bodies are not inanimate objects that can be fully understood and controlled but, rather, our partners in this life requiring a communicative relationship. They discuss how transformative this concept was for their careers and share stories of how they now relate better to the bodies in their care. Listen in to better understand what it means to be a living body.

    The Jamie Episode
    Oct 22 2024
    It’s the Jamie episode! Today we travel back in time with our hosts and journey along Jamie’s quest of finding her body. She shares that as an infant she failed to thrive, as an adolescent she brutalized her body, and as an adult, she burned out. But when she finally got curious and quiet, she learned what her body had been trying to communicate since the very beginning. Listen in as the hosts discuss the formation of Jamie’s deep belief that all bodies are capable of health and vitality and the authors and creators Jamie credits most for helping her along the way.

    The Joan Episode
    Oct 15 2024
    It’s the Joan episode! Today we get to hear all about the little girl who dreamed of being a teacher and instead followed both her parents’ footsteps to become a fifth-generation doctor. Joan shares with us when her deep need for certainty began in childhood and explains why she is now deliberately stepping away from that particular value. Jamie’s questions bring us insight into Joan’s life as a mother, a daughter, a family physician, and a body. Then we get a peek into her favorite Instagram accounts and find out who the artist is that inspired Joan’s current ukelele lessons. Listen in to learn all about our dear host, Joan Chan!
