Maestro on the Mic

It's time for a change, people. Join me for a very special episode of Maestro on the Mic where Dr. Ellie Somers speaks her passion, tells it like it is, and says all the things that today's medical industry needs to hear. Far too many providers continue to present their female patients with a bleak prognosis that is dictated by factors they cannot change, and quite frankly that they don't need to change. Being resilient, robust, or anti-fragile are not qualities reserved solely for those with male anatomy, and estrogen is absolutely not a sports performance death sentence. Patients need to be empowered, clinicians need to step it up, and physical therapists need to realize that not even the sky is the limit. This episode. Let's go.
