TechLink Health Podcast on Heart Smart Mindfulness
It was an honor to be featured as a guest on the TechLink Health podcast. I shared my insights on maintaining heart health with a busy lifestyle, the role of mindfulness on outcomes in healthcare, and the importance of addressing issues that lead to burnout in physicians and others.
I often host the TechLink Health podcast, a show devoted to exploring the gamut of new technologies and innovations in health care. I began this journey as a guest on the podcast in 2022. The interview went so well that I was subsequently invited to host.
It’s been a lot of fun, and I always learn so much from our guests. My experience is a great example of what can happen when you take chances and say yes to opportunities that align with your purpose, even when you don’t know exactly what will happen next.
This week I’m re-sharing my first episode. The conversation ranges from insights on maintaining heart health with a busy lifestyle to the role of mindfulness on outcomes in healthcare, and the importance of addressing issues that lead to burnout in physicians and others. We also discussed the ways a creative practice can help physicians and others in healthcare.

Defeating Superbugs: My Podcast Interview with Dr. Steffanie Strathdee
As a podcast host for TechLink Health, it was a privilege to interview Dr. Steffanie Strathdee, an epidemiologist and Distinguished Professor at UC San Diego. Dr. Strathdee literally saved her husband's life when he suffered a catastrophic antibiotic-resistant superbug infection. Through her investigations, Dr. Strathdee uncovered the possibility of phage therapy. Considered a risky and largely unproven treatment modality at the time, it was a last-ditch effort -- and it worked!

Dr. Strathdee is now the Co-Director of the Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics at UC San Diego. You can find her book, The Perfect Predator, on Amazon. There’s an audiobook version as well, which I highly recommend.
