๐ŸŽ™๏ธ New on the podcast: Metabolic Wellbeing Without the BS, Episode #67


 Episode Title: A medical student perspective with Chloe Jenvey

This week, I sat down with Chloe Jenvey, a 4th-year medical student in the UK, whoโ€™s boldly carving out her space in healthcare โ€” one that is holistic, spiritual, and truly person-centric.

๐Ÿง  From burnout to boundaries.
 ๐Ÿฉบ From workaholism to wellness.
 ๐ŸŒฑ From survival to conscious healing.

Chloe opens up with honesty and humility about the pressures of medical school, the expectations placed on future doctors, and the deep re-evaluation it takes to care for others without losing yourself.

In this episode we explore:
 ๐Ÿ”น What drew Chloe to medicine at 17
 ๐Ÿ”น Why rest is a skill โ€” and how she learned it
 ๐Ÿ”น Learning and unlearning the art of self-care
 ๐Ÿ”น The power of healthy coping mechanisms
 ๐Ÿ”น Her evolving passion for General Practice and person-first care
 ๐Ÿ”น The value of having a mentor, and the influence of the BHMA (British Holistic Medical Association)

๐Ÿ’ฅ Chloe reminds us: โ€œDonโ€™t become a doctor for the money โ€” become one for the mission.โ€

This is a must-listen for anyone in medicine, healthcare, or simply navigating high-performance environments while staying human.
