12: Bridging The Gap Between Medicine And Physical Function With Dr. Amy West

Dr. Amy M. West, MD is a New York-based physician that specializes in sports medicine(non-surgical), physical medicine and rehabilitation. She is someone with a lot of skin in the game as a high level athlete herself. What I admire about her most is her passion in fitness and medicine. Instead of operating in silos, Dr. West is trying to bridge the gap between the two.00:00 Introduction02:58 Where her journey started in fitness and medicine08:05 The impact of CrossFit has had on the health and fitness industry19:45 What it looks like managing patients with a fitness forward approach31:23 Navigating conversations with people that may be receptive to change40:05 The role of the musculoskeletal system in longevity and overall health50:33 Normalizing strength and performance training for femalesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amywestmd/Northwell: https://www.northwell.edu/find-care/find-a-doctor/dr-amy-m-west-md-11382009If you want to learn more about what we do at Moment, look at our links below!Follow Grace on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grace_schwemmer_dpt/ Follow Andy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.andyfatachan/Learn with our team: https://www.moment-education.com/Get our free resources: https://www.moment-education.com/resourcesSign up for our seminars: https://www.moment-education.com/moment-foundationsInterested in joining Moment Mentorship?
