This week, Angie and Emily welcome Meg Miller, LDAP Program Manager and Leadership Instructor at Echelon Front!

Meg discussed her background as a collegiate athlete at Duke and how the principles of Extreme Ownership can help sports teams, corporations, and women like you communicate more effectively and level up in all ways. 

She talked about the importance of clear and concise communication, even when it's difficult, and how building relationships helps you to have tough conversations that strengthen rather than break down rapport.  These lessons aren't just for the board room or the playing field, but your everyday life too!

Meg also shared her perspective on the idea of "discipline equals freedom"—how it applies to her health and fitness and the balance between detachment and processing emotions. 

Angie, Emily, and Meg also covered the "BLUFF" communication technique and the advice for women to go for the things they want.

Join Angie and Emily as they dive into an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Lynn Wagner, MD, a trailblazer in integrative and functional medicine. In this episode, Dr. Wagner shares her incredible journey—from emergency room physician to becoming a leader in anti-aging, longevity, and biohacking.

Dr. Wagner reveals how shifting her focus to holistic health transformed her career and her patients' lives. She explains why treating the root cause of health issues, rather than just symptoms, is key to achieving vitality and longevity. From energy medicine and stress management to gut health, muscle maintenance, and toxin reduction, Dr. Wagner offers practical, actionable tips for living your healthiest, most energized life.

Whether you're looking to optimize your wellness or wanting to learn more about the functional medicine, this episode is packed with inspiration and insight you won’t want to miss!

More about Dr. Lynn Wagner, MD and Her Links:
Lynn Wagner knew she wanted to be a physician in childhood. She “forgot” her dreams in early adulthood, initially pursuing photojournalism and business. Her father’s declining health in her early 20s exposed her to the healthcare system and reignited her passion for healing. She enrolled in medical education, ultimately completing a residency in emergency medicine. Dr. Wagner practiced as an emergency room physician for 10 years, at which point she developed an interest in not only treating health conditions but preventing them. She started to explore alternative therapies for healing patients and preventing disease, which led her on a new path—integrative medicine. After completing a fellowship in integrative medicine at the Andrew Weil Center | Arizona Integrative Medicine, she opened an integrative medicine practice in 2015.

Since its inception, Dr. Wagner has continued to grow and study the world of integrative and functional medicine, anti-aging, longevity, and biohacking. She believes that everyone deserves to live a life full of maximum energy and vitality and that when they do, they are able to serve their purpose in this world. She makes it her highest priority to give her patients all there is to offer in the world of integrative medicine to reach their health goals.

Her clinic offers integrative medicine consultations and care, halotherapy, contrast therapy (sauna and cold plunge), IV therapy, and aesthetics.
