The Mindful Movement Podcast and Community

In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Koche to explore her journey from being diagnosed with leukemia at age 15 to becoming a physician focused on integrative medicine and prevention. We talk about the importance of understanding the root causes behind health issues, how nutrition and lifestyle can influence recovery and long-term health, and why mitochondrial function and metabolic health play such a central role in overall well-being. Dr. Koche also shares perspectives on thyroid health, perimenopause, the connection between emotional and physical health, and why learning to listen to your body’s signals can be an important part of the healing process.
