🎙️ 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, who’s boldly carving out her space in healthcare — one that is holistic, spiritual, and truly person-centric.

đź§  From burnout to boundaries.
 đź©ş From workaholism to wellness.
 đźŚ± 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:
 đź”ą What drew Chloe to medicine at 17
 đź”ą Why rest is a skill — and how she learned it
 đź”ą Learning and unlearning the art of self-care
 đź”ą The power of healthy coping mechanisms
 đź”ą Her evolving passion for General Practice and person-first care
 đź”ą The value of having a mentor, and the influence of the BHMA (British Holistic Medical Association)

💥 Chloe reminds us: “Don’t become a doctor for the money — become one for the mission.”

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