In this second of two holiday bonus episodes, MBO gets personal with four expert guests whose experiences inform their professional pursuits.

As a kid in Canada, Dr. Mark Stoutenberg (Temple University) dreamed of becoming an American football coach but changed course after discovering exercise physiology and the need for greater public accessibility to exercise programs. 

Dr. Michael Riddell’s path to becoming a world-renowned authority on diabetes and exercise at York University (Toronto) began as a 15-year old with type one whose basketball teammates didn’t worry about blood sugar levels.

Dr. Shosh Bennett began a groundbreaking career in maternal behavioral health after two severe cases of postpartum depression.

And Dr. Kathryn Schmitz (University of Pittsburgh) had the all too personal experience of implementing exercise oncology with her own life partner. 

Tune in for the personal sagas of My Body Odyssey (MBO) medical experts in these holiday bonus episodes. MBO is a Fluent Knowledge production; original music by Ryan Adair Rooney.
