Ep 37: How Medicine Helped My Olympic Journey with Shae Anderson | The Health Exchange Podcast

Episode 37 of The Health Exchange Podcast features Olympian Shae Anderson, a world-class sprinter whose journey has been shaped by resilience, family, and a lifelong battle with asthma. Dr. Rutland speaks with her about the sacrifices and struggles behind making the U.S. Olympic team, from training through the pandemic and competing alongside track legends to coping with her father’s illness during trials. Shae opens up about the unique challenges of being coached by her dad, the delicate balance between athletics and family health, and what it means to carve out her own path with new coaches and teammates. More than a story about racing, this conversation highlights perseverance, perspective, and the pursuit of joy in sport—even when the odds are stacked against you.Sponsored by Sanofi; Sanofi and Regeneron through an unrestricted educational grant.https://www.instagram.com/thehealthexchangepodcast/Follow Our Host:https://www.instagram.com/drjrutland/
