💭 “I told a lot more people than I thought I would ever tell to stay in bed, you know normally our role is to get people out of bed, get them moving, and just get them back to it, but for some of these folks mean rolling over was desaturating folks into the fifties and sixties and so it was a struggle just to get them back to 80s and 90s with their oxygen.” - Dr. Kathleen Antares

👉🏻 Our guest is Dr. Kathleen Antares, PT, DPT, an accidental veteran entrepreneur, who exited the womb with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck and has been living life on the edge ever since!
