Empowering Health: Recent Episodes
Steve Levins
A podcast by Delta Physical Therapy based in Baton Rouge , LA . Discussions with leaders in their fields on health and wellness through the lens of experts as well as humans on their own wellness journey.
I recently sat down and had a great chat with Dr, Hill. I think there are a couple reasons I enjoyed the conversation:
1) Dr Hill is really an MD that understands and sees treatment through the eyes of a PT. He was influenced during his training by some great PTs and his ability to see rehabilitation from a different point of view is refreshing for a PT and , I think, beneficial for his patients.
2) We had a good frank, open discussion on healthcare and rehabilitation and where we find issues and problems, with the system in general, and with practitioners ( including ourselves). It was a nice introspective discussion.
Among other topics we discussed:
-
His training and influences that led him to become "the running doc"
-
The PT influences through his life
-
High value versus low value care
-
His recent experience as a patient
-
The amazing story of his daughter becoming a runner
-
His current 'Power Running' program for runners who want to become stronger and faster

We are thrilled to get this podcast off the ground and couldn't be happier to have a wonderful conversation with Dr. Julie Neumann as our first ever guest!!
Dr. Neumann is a Baton Rouge native who returned to her hometown after completing an impressive stretch of training with a sports residency at Duke and a double fellowship in both sports and foot and ankle. As a competitive soccer player through high school and university, and with the profession of medicine running through the family history, it seems natural that orthopedics became her niche.
Dr. Neumann and I discuss her background and its influence on her profession as well as health and exercise in general and how busy professionals, MDs and otherwise, can struggle to fit it into their busy lives.
As I review the chat , I can see many places where I need to improve in my hosting duties but I can not imagine having a better guest than Dr. Neumann! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
In health,
- Steve
