Dr. Andree LeRoy is not only a medical doctor, she's also trained and skilled as a medical intuitive.  Having exposure to both traditional western medicine as well as holistic healers, Andree grew up knowing there was a place for those modalities to work in harmony.   It was inevitable that Andree would end up pursuing both approaches and become a bridge between the two, which would benefit both herself and how she practiced, as well as the patient outcome.  It's a perfect blend of the Art and Science of medicine.   Even though this was ultimately the right path for Andree and it provided additional benefits to patients, she was fearful of how it would be received by her peers who received the traditional western medical training.  She mentioned that when she was in medical school she learned that alternative medicine was bad and clearly she would have colleagues trained with this thought.   With her passions, background, education, and experience, Andree is able to serve her patients to enhance their vitality allowing them to live the life of their dreams and thrive.  She also supports physicians who want to pivot into wellness careers so they can really live life on their own terms.   Learn more about Dr. Andree LeRoy here: www.drleroy.com Guest Bio: Dr. Andrée LeRoy is both a Harvard-trained medical doctor and a medical intuitive. She is an expert in lifestyle, functional,  integrative,  and rehabilitation medicine. She comes from a long lineage of western medicine-trained physicians and holistic healers which has shaped her unique and science-based approach to integrative and individualized care.  Upon receiving her Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana in Molecular and Integrative Physiology, she completed her thesis in Medicinal plants and Herbology. She expanded her knowledge of the body systems and mechanics by practicing as a licensed massage therapist before graduating from the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical School in 2006. She then completed her residencies in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts in 2010 and the Durant Fellowship in Global Health and Refugee Medicine from Massachusetts General Hospital in 2011.  While working at Massachusetts General Hospital and Spaulding Rehabilitation, Harvard's official teaching hospital for physical medicine and rehabilitation ranked as top 3 rehabilitation hospitals in the United States, she also remained on faculty at Harvard Medical School for 8 years. She completed her Master's degree in Spiritual Psychology with an emphasis in Consciousness, Health & Healing from the University of Santa Monica in 2016. In 2018 she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of creating a patient-centered model of healthcare that combines the best art and science to facilitate healing. This model takes a comprehensive mental, spiritual, and physical approach to bring health issues to resolution.  She received training in Lifestyle Medicine, Functional Medicine, Reiki, Energy Medicine, and Ayurvedic medicine, making her a catalyst for integrating a holistic approach to her practice.   Over the past several years, Dr. LeRoy has worked closely with high-achieving, heart-centered professionals to take all aspects of their lives to the next level. She has seen how important it is to educate professionals on the importance of creating a healthy work-life balance that results in optimal health, wellness, and vitality. ___________________ Subscribe to this podcast and download your favorite episodes to listen to later: AppleSpotify RSS Feed ___________________   ⚕️ Are you a woman healthcare professional who is struggling to juggle everything in your personal and professional life?

In this week's episode, we take a peek inside the recent Warrior Business and Leadership Summit where Garrett leads businessmen through a series of conversations and exercises surrounding the topic of strategic marketing and how vital it is to the life and growth of their companies. In This Week's Episode....PRODUCTION Golden Nugget #1: Throw Yourself Under the Bus Most individuals have been taught to look perfect. We actually want to follow people who are not perfect. We want to follow people who fucking execute. When you begin to undress yourself with your words and you expose yourself to the world - when your show your humanity - you do it from power, not from a weak place, not from a victim place, but from a place of energy. Social media is filled with victims. They’re throwing themselves under the bus and asking you to save them. We strategically throw ourselves under the bus so we can show them how we pulled ourselves out: Hey, I was under the bus, I pulled myself out. If you want pulled out from under the bus I might be your guy because I know a few things about being underneath the bus.   QUESTION: What are your results from strategically throwing yourself under the bus?   Golden Nugget #2: Back Your Message With Money Numbers tell stories. Everybody’s got an idea to lead, everyone wants to build a movement, and everybody wants to build some shit until it costs money. Then you divide the posers from the players. The players know that no movement exists without money. Money is what pushes your message out into the world so that others can see it; it's what funds the movement and its growth. If you don’t have the courage to back your message with money, what belief do you actually have of your message? Zero.   QUESTION: How much money did you back your message with in the last 30 days? Does it back your true commitment to your message or is it lacking? Why or why not?   Golden Nugget #3: Your People Are An Asset Right after your advertising is your people. Put some sales in the middle so we can keep the people. Be straight with them, let them know what is happening. Transparency is crucial. You have a powerful group of smart people surrounding you - let them help you. When they are passionate about what you do, they will stay up late and work on things over the weekend with you to fix shit.   QUESTION: What steps will you take today to create a transparent environment? What belief or story do you need to let go of in order to make this happen?   Golden Nugget #4: Advertising: The Habit That Sets You Free Advertising is the arching bridge that will set you free in building a movement. Your current networks are too small to go find the people with the problems in the pain who want the pleasurable possibility in the pit that you create, who will go the distance to find you. They don’t know you exist. If shit is tight, you take everything you have and double down on marketing. Your only chance out is sales, and you can’t make sales if you don’t market. You pull all the money from advertising but you keep all of your people? That’s a guarantee you are going to have to fire them in six months.           QUESTION: How would you define a lead inside your business? How much is a qualified client worth to you and how much are you willing to pay to get one?   Golden Nugget #5: You Must Become a Mathematician Math backs my movement. This math and this equation TDS/TL = CPL changed my whole fucking game. This is how Warrior rose. You must become a mathematician. You must fall in love with math. Feelings won’t cut it. Learn to love numbers. If you don’t live by a Code inside your life of telling the fucking truth, it’s impossible to get the math to actually line up. You won’t look at the math at what it really is, you will create fiction around your facts. QUESTION: Do you know your numbers? If not, what are you going to do about it?    Quote of the Week: "Looking back, I don’t know how the fuck I ran a business. The only thing I can gather is that I had a lot of Red Bulls. Most of the time I didn’t have the numbers and couldn’t live in the facts. Most of my numbers were being driven by fantasy and fiction. I made business moves on fantasy and fiction, hoping that my fantasy and fiction would become facts."

Session 37 Each week, Ryan pulls out a question from the forums over at OldPreMeds.org so we can deliver the answers right on to you. This week's question comes from a student asking about research experience, specifically about whether admissions committees are biased towards applicants with research experience that they would value it over clinical observation. OldPreMeds Question of the Week: Looking through the MSAR Admissions Requirements, one of the things that jumped out at them was the percentage of accepted applicants with research.lab experience. In many cases, the school reported higher numbers of accepted students with this experience than physician shadowing/observation, typically in the 85-95% range. Are admissions committees biased towards applicants with research experience that they would value it over clinical observation? Or is it that more students are reporting their lab experience from prerequisite coursework? Here are the insights from Ryan: Medical schools need to understand that you know what it's like to be a physician; hence, the importance of shadowing. You don't need a ton of shadowing to understand what it's like. However, shadowing is not the same as clinical experience. While technically you're close enough to smell patient, you're still not really "smelling" the patient. Clinical experience involves patient interaction or getting your hands dirty doing patient care. Work like being a CNA,paramedic, EMT, nurse, or PA are huge clinical experiences. Research is something that is perpetuated in the premed world as a necessity to get into medical school. Caveats: If you want to go into an MD/PhD program, research is the main driver during your premed years to get into an MD/PhD program. If you want to go into a research-heavy institution, research is going to be very important. The emergence of evidence-based medicine: The actual act of research is not necessarily important but it's important that you understand the process. You don't need to publish anything to get experience and gain benefit from research, However, as a physician, it is important that you’re able to read research articles and statistics and understand everything that goes on behind the scenes with researching and the scientific method. The admissions committees are not leaning one way or the other. They only need to make sure you know what life is like as a physician so they're looking for the clinical experience. Major takeaways from this episode: Shadowing shows you what's it's like to be a physician. Clinical experience proves you actually like being around sick people. You don't have to have research (although some schools require it like the University of Utah which have set number of hours of research, shadowing, and volunteering) Look at each of the schools you're interested in applying to. See what they require and then follow what you enjoy the most after all of the requirements are met.

Session 11 Your questions, answered here on the OldPreMeds Podcast. Ryan and Rich again dive into the forums over at OldPreMeds.org where they pull a question and deliver the answers right on to you. Today, they discuss about the best resource for studying for the MCAT, what you need to do, and some things you need to consider to find your best resource. OldPreMeds Question of the Week: Looking at retaking the MCAT with a 19 on the old exam and trying to avoid going to the Caribbean. What is the most useful resource for studying for the MCAT? Here are the insights from Ryan & Rich MCAT used to be a 3-part exam: Biological sciences Physical sciences Verbal Reasoning In 2015, MCAT now covers 4 sections: Chemical and physical foundations for systems Critical analysis and reasoning Biological and biochemical foundations Psychosocial and biologic foundations of behavior What you need to do for the MCAT: Have a preparation plan. The courses you take as an undergrad are not enough preparation, Understand how the exam works. Understand the strategies for reading and answering the questions. Practice, practice, practice. It's not just knowing the content or how to approach the exams, but it's having a head game to take the exam. Don't take the exam until you're ready to do so. Get started with the AAMC exams (the closest thing as the real exam as possible.) Get another set of exams with one of the providers. "How Many Practice MCAT Exams Should I Take?" Rich's rule of thumb is to do 4-6 practice exams under realistic conditions in getting scores you're comfortable with before you take the actual exam. "Which MCAT Prep Company Should I Use?" Look at your finances. It could cost $2,000-$3,000 to take a course. You may self-study (if you have good habits and can be disciplined) and get retail books provided by an MCAT prep companies  such as Kaplan, Examkrackers, Princeton Review. Live classroom or live online? That's your personal preference. Which of the courses of these companies are going to work for you? Kaplan stresses the most amount of strategy to take an exam. Princeton Review is a content-heavy course. Examkrackers offers online and in-classroom classes but there are mixed reviews about their classrooms. Free online resources like the Khan Academy (a few years ago, they hooked up with AAMC to run a contest and funding for people to rate MCAT prep materials for their system) Things to consider here when choosing your resources: Your learning style Your discipline in studying Your financial considerations Understand where you are in the process and how are you going to be able to schedule all these things Major takeaway from this episode Rich personally believes that everyone should be in some sort of formal course (online or classroom). If you're thinking about investing a couple hundred thousand dollars of debt to go to med school, then $2,500 to pay for a prep class is not that expensive.
