Booking Overview

A short monthly health-and-wellness interview podcast featuring practical, evidence-based guidance from Vanderbilt clinicians and other specialized health professionals. PR agencies could credibly pitch credentialed physicians, nurses, dietitians, mental-health clinicians, and other healthcare experts with actionable advice for workplace wellness, prevention, and healthy living, but booking is likely difficult because the show primarily features Vanderbilt-affiliated specialists.
