    Silliness Saved Me

    In Episode 3 of Paging Dr. Jow, Dr. Veronica Jow shares how an inflatable Hello Kitty costume helped her reconnect with joy during one of the most overwhelming periods of her life. While navigating the pressures of practicing medicine, running a business, raising a family, and living through the pandemic, Dr. Jow felt exhausted, scattered, and emotionally depleted. An unexpectedly ridiculous Halloween experience made her laugh in a way she had not laughed in a long time—and created a genuine shift in how she felt. Looking back as a physician, Dr. Jow explains how silliness, laughter, and play can interrupt a cycle of stress, create relief within the nervous system, and help us feel more capable of facing difficult situations. Silliness does not eliminate life’s problems, but it can give the mind and body space to recover. From wearing costumes and telling bad jokes to jumping on a trampoline or watching a ridiculous movie, this episode is a reminder that play is not frivolous. Sometimes, it is restorative—and sometimes, it can become a lifeline. Subscribe to Paging Dr. Jow for thoughtful conversations about health, recovery, movement, resilience, and living well.

    Recover Better: The Importance of Rest

    In this episode of Paging Dr. Jow, we explore why rest is an essential part of recovery, injury prevention, and long-term performance. Rest is often treated as time away from progress, but the body needs adequate recovery to repair tissue, restore energy, adapt to training, and perform at its best. Dr. Jow discusses the importance of listening to your body, recognizing when you may need more recovery, and understanding how rest supports both physical and mental well-being. Whether you are an athlete, recovering from an injury, returning to exercise, or simply trying to feel and function better, effective recovery begins with giving your body the time and support it needs.
