In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most powerful but underrated approaches to long-term wellness: Lifestyle Medicine.
So many people want to improve their health, lose weight, reduce stress, and prevent chronic disease, but they feel overwhelmed by wellness trends, extreme dieting, and unrealistic routines.
That’s why this conversation is so important.
Joining me is Dr Ann Hester, a double board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, who shares practical and evidence-based ways to improve health through sustainable habits—not perfection.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or like it’s “too late” to get healthy… this episode is for you.
Main Discussion Points:
- What Lifestyle Medicine is (and what it is not)
- The pillars of Lifestyle Medicine are explained simply.
- How to start over when you feel like you’ve ‘failed.’
Key Takeaway:
- Start with one habit—not five.

Dr Ann Hester
Dr Ann Hester is a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine—one of fewer than 1% of physicians worldwide with this dual certification. With over 30 years of clinical experience, she saw a troubling trend: smart, successful people losing their health to conditions like high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, among others.
So, she created PTR Reset™—a proprietary coaching system grounded in Lifestyle Medicine to help individuals and employees prevent, treat, and potentially reverse common chronic conditions naturally. Dr Ann currently leads Inspire Health, LLC, a dual-purpose venture serving both individuals and corporations.
