Description

Today we have our first guest on the show, Dr. Ramona von Leden, PhD. 

Ramona is a neuroscientist at UT Austin's Dell Medical School and fitness professional. Her research focuses on inflammation as a therapeutic target for traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. She teaches kickboxing in her spare time, which she enjoys as a way to apply her scientific knowledge to helping others achieve their health goals. Her dog, Peter, is her assistant coach and is one of Austin Fit Magazine's Fittest Dogs of 2020.

In this episode we cover:

• How, after the initial shock, Ramona is learning to embrace the slow down 
• Ramona's secret grocery store crush (sponsor her, please!)
• The connection Ramona sees between traumatic brain injury and the collective trauma we're all experiencing right now with COVID-19
• Why Ramona is hopeful and doesn't think our world is turning into a fully virtual, no-contact reality (like in the movie Wall-E) 
• Ramona's thoughts on what we can do to support ourselves during this time
