Description:

Dr. Muellner is an Internal Medicine Physician in Los Angeles, California. He is a California native who has a passion for all things style, fashion, health, travel, and lifestyle. Dr. Muellner is pushing the boundaries of creativity outside of medicine. In college, he double majored in Communications and Molecular Biology, minored in Music Composition. He is a proficient skateboarder, guitar player, singer, blogger, and youtuber discussing the day in the life of a doctor. Dr. Muellner is one of the OGs of medical blogging, consistently putting out content since 2014.

In this episode, we dive deep discussing his path to medicine, why he resisted medicine for so long, how he uses his experience in the arts as a physician, and we discuss his love for music, skateboarding, and fashion. Dr. Muellner has a refreshing outlook on medicine and was generous enough to wake up early to record the episode with me on a Sunday Morning at 5am before his 12-hour shift in the hospital.
