Dear Diary, in episode 99, We sit down with neurologist and epileptologist Dr. Jessica Lowe (Dr. Brain Barbie) to unpack one of the most misunderstood conditions in healthcare. What started as a conversation about migraines turned into an eye-opening discussion on brain health, invisible illnesses, migraine myths, and the overwhelming amount of misinformation online. Jessica breaks down the science behind migraines, explains why they're so much more than "just a headache," and shares practical, evidence-based ways to better understand and care for your brain. Enjoy!

Dear Diary, In episode 97, We sit down with Dr. Wendy Johnson PT, DPT  to explore one of the most unique and least talked about careers in healthcare.

Dear Diary, episode 95 is UNHINGED. Mel & Al are finally in the same city again (only for 3 days :( and they're spilling ALL the tea on their chaotic Charlotte weekend. We're talking: a certified Hot Girl Hugo Spritz Summer declaration, a 4th of July outing that flopped, Al's very first Solidcore class, and a white water rafting trip that had them questioning their life choices in real time. Come for the chaos, stay for the friendship, leave with either a new Charlotte itinerary or a list of things NOT to do this summer. Your call. Full VLOG dropping next week <3

Dear Diary, In Episode 94 of The Physio Diaries podcast, Mel & Al catch up on everything that's happened lately.

They also talk life in Charlotte vs. LA, travel therapy updates, getting older (but hopefully hotter), and why these break room chats always end up somewhere completely unexpected. Just two travel DPTs catching up with their besties.
