What do gymnastics, mental health, and success have in common?

Dr. Lucy McBride talks with former Levi Strauss & Company executive, elite gymnast, author and producer Jennifer Sey about the emotional and physical abuse she endured on her path to becoming the 1986 National Gymnastics Champion; her journey from post-traumatic stress toward post-traumatic growth; and why she walked away from a million dollars and the top job at Levi’s.

They unpack the anatomy of pain, disordered eating, shame, and the ability to own your narrative in order to be healthy, mentally and physically.

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.
