Healthy Pets, Healthy People | Tricia Montgomery | K9 Fit Club


Listen Later

We are talking about pet obesity! Something different but very relevant. Tricia Montgomery is founder of K9 fit club, which offers organized fitness for people with their dogs. It’s different for obvious reasons. It’s relevant because there are significant health benefits for us when we are active with our pets. And there’s a lot of science to back those benefits up. For example, obesity and loneliness and better mental health are all positively impacted when we exercise with our pets. Think of it as science-based fun. This conversation includes a lot of promotion for the company, which we normally don’t do. It's in this conversation because Tricia has a story of renewing and then sustaining health, which is what we’re all about here. It’s also a story of someone who saw a problem in her own life and created a solution to better health for herself and others. So a great example of healthcare entrepreneurship. We spend a lot of time talking about technology and healthcare innovation, making the healthcare system better. But it’s this bigger picture of health and unique ways of getting us to a healthier society that really drives us.
