In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Dr. Dina Altayeb—a powerhouse of inspiration. Not only is she an accomplished dentist and Ironman triathlete, but she’s also one of the most passionate and dedicated people I know. 

From balancing her thriving career to conquering some of the toughest endurance races in the world, Dr. Dina’s journey is nothing short of remarkable.

We talk about her early influences, the unexpected way she found her way into endurance sports and the deep personal transformation she’s experienced through competition. We also share a heartfelt discussion about her love for dogs—something that started with a little push from her son and has since become a huge part of her life.

Dr. Altayeb also opens up about life transitions, the power of finding purpose beyond achievements, and the invaluable lessons she’s learned from both sports and her dogs.

Key Highlights:

• Early influences: How growing up in an active family shaped Dr. Altayeb’s mindset and lifestyle.
• Athletic journey: From a fun 5K race to Ironman Kona—what kept her motivated?
• Finding deeper meaning in competition: Shifting from goal-oriented racing to spiritual fulfillment.
• Overcoming a fear of dogs: How her son convinced her to bring a dog into their home, leading to a lifelong love.
• Life balance & purpose: Prioritizing what truly matters while excelling in multiple areas of life.

Join us for this inspiring conversation about resilience, passion, and the pursuit of joy in every aspect of life.
