Dr. Lucy McBride

ABC veteran journalist Gloria Riviera has told a lot of compelling stories.

The mother of three has spent two decades reporting on hard hitting topics like underaged sex trafficking. She’s also the host of the No One is Coming to Save Us podcast, where she examines the broken American child care system.

Now Gloria is telling her own story. It begins in 2019 with an unforeseen brain cancer diagnosis, and it’s far from over.

In this episode of Beyond the Prescription openly discusses how past trauma “prepared” her to cope with cancer, the lessons learned during her treatment, and why she doesn’t fear death.

Beyond the Prescription

Each week, Dr. Lucy McBride talks with her guests like she does her patients — pulling the curtain back on what it means to be healthy, connecting the dots between mental and physical health. To Dr. McBride, health is about more than the absence of disease. Health is a process, not an outcome. It's about having awareness of our medical facts, acceptance of the things we cannot control, and agency over what we can change.
