Humbling, educational, insightful and inspiring
In a world of podcasts, Dr Becca Whittaker is a voice of integrity and hope in the realm of patients stepping up to take responsibility for their healing journeys. She has taken it upon herself to interview the most incredibly interesting thought leaders in these different categories of interest and I was totally absorbed by the episode contents she then provided. As an interviewer she has the ability to draw out the human stories, discover the science, and ask the probing questions, all while remaining the most courteous, thoughtful host. I’ve loved the interviews she has shared so far, and I am looking forward to where the show will go over the coming year. As someone who is ‘incurably’ sick myself, I have found her a light in a sometimes dark world and I wish her every success in her continued journey or healing.
