Drs. Kitty Dotson and Sarah Schuetz: lifestyle medicine

About this episode

Two internal medicine doctors discuss their shift from traditional medicine to lifestyle medicine, focusing on health and wellness.

Burned out from seeing patients nonstop, managing insurance paperwork and barely sleeping, two Lexington, Kentucky internal medicine doctors—Dr. Kitty Dotson and Dr. Sarah Schuetz—walked away from traditional medicine to build something radically different. Today, they focus exclusively on the six pillars of health (nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, social connection, and avoiding risky substances), and their patients are reversing heart disease, slashing medications, dropping weight, and—most importantly—regaining power over their own health and lives. In this eye-opening episode, learn how small, shame-free changes can put us on a trajectory to live long and well, and why the future of primary care should look more like a medical office attached to a gym and teaching kitchen than a waiting room of sickness.
