    Behavioral Change for Better Women’s Health with Dr. Caelin White

    Is the time of a cancer diagnosis, when health becomes the focus  of daily life,  the best time to introduce healthy lifestyle interventions?  My guest is Dr. Caelin White a registered clinical and sports psychologist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He provides tailored interventions for anxiety, depression, chronic pain, trauma, and emotional regulation, as well as performance difficulties, such as focus, motivation, perfectionism, managing performance expectations, distress tolerance, goal setting, and time management.  He competed in the World's Toughest Mudder   https://youtu.be/IQ2uJCkjiBc -  when a 26.2-mile marathon is not enough- a 24-hour ultra-endurance race over a 10-mile looped obstacle course to raise awareness of the barriers to receiving mental health care.  The US preventive service task force estimates that health behaviors have the greatest impact on our health- more so than clinical care, genetics & biology, or the physical environment.  Listen as Dr. White shares his insights on how we as physicians may better support our patients to achieve better health with lifestyle changes.

    Dr. Andrea Mckee, a Radiation Oncologist is here to help us better understand radiation.  How it's all around us all of the time.  How sometimes dangerous but sometimes life-saving. This inaugural episode of It's Time You Knew launches during Women’s History Month and honors Madame Curie  – the first woman to win a Nobel prize, and the only woman to win twice in 2 different fields: chemistry and physics.  Her work with radioactive substances and their medical applications made her famous and sadly led to her demise from radiation damage to the bone marrow.
