A New Year Outlook – Ragav Sharma, DO, CSCS

It’s a brand new year! The podcast has been silent for a little over a month but it’s time to change that with the first episode of 2022. In this episode I start off by talking about podcast updates including the proposed podcast schedule for this year, improvement in it’s quality, and other goals for this year.

The meat of the episode however lies in using the new year as a marker for change and the concept of new-year’s resolutions. I discuss getting started on your fitness goals, how to make your likelihood of success greater, and the various challenges that people might face in making lifestyle changes.

I also discuss my current view of the healthcare system coming off an ICU month in my residency. I talk about changes I see coming in healthcare and my experiences in the past month. 

And lastly, I discuss some personal updates including completing my Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification and starting to officially coach other individuals.
