In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Maximilian Muenke, M.D. who is a US licensed Physician, and a US licensed Physician Acupuncturist. We talked about his upbringing, professional background, and the role fitness has played in his life. He received his M.D. degree from the Free University of Berlin in his native Germany in 1979 and did residency training at the University of Kiel, Germany. Dr. Muenke moved to the US over 25 years ago, where he continued his training as a research fellowship, at Yale University in New Haven, CT, and a clinical fellowship at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Muenke has always been interested in complementary and alternative medicine, specifically in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), medical acupuncture, and clinical hypnosis for a long time. Dr. Muenke is interested in using hypnosis, acupuncture, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to take care of the whole person, not just the symptoms.

This Podcast was created to help people start their own personalized journey towards fitness. It is important for us to look at fitness from a holistic stand point by incorporating movement, mindset and nutrition to build a better, healthy relationship towards being active. I will be chatting with experts in different fields from personal training, nutrition, psychology and some of my clients to give you a different view points. So join me as we create our own struggle through movement and mindfulness.

Please let me introduce my good friend Nicole. She shares her trials and triumphs from timid gym exerciser to learning to love fitness.
