🎙️ 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.

🧠 From burnout to boundaries.
🩺 From workaholism to wellness.
🌱 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:
🔹 What drew Chloe to medicine at 17
🔹 Why rest is a skill — and how she learned it
🔹 Learning and unlearning the art of self-care
🔹 The power of healthy coping mechanisms
🔹 Her evolving passion for General Practice and person-first care
🔹 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.
