What does it look like to lead with your whole self—body, mind, and spirit? In this episode, Ann sits down with Dr. Dave DeMarco, a board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician who left traditional practice to launch DexaFit Cincinnati. They explore how faith and health intersect, why restoration is central to both, and what it takes to leave your comfort zone and build something new.
Whether you’re a faith-driven professional curious about stewarding your health differently or someone sensing a nudge to pivot into your passion, this conversation is packed with insight, encouragement, and wisdom.
What You’ll Learn:
Why your physical health is deeply connected to your faith and leadership
How lifestyle medicine offers a proactive, personalized approach to care
What it means to live a restored life—and help others do the same
The power of seeing yourself as the project, not just the leader
What stepping into your calling might require—even if it means letting go of safety
