and is taking to the internet once again — only this time
it is to help others through a podcast.
“In addition to eating properly and exercising, the key
to living a fulfilling life regardless of age is surrounding
yourself with the right people and having a positive
outlook,” said Dr. Guy, a certified health coach.
To be hosted on her soon-to-launch website,
HealthEnrichmement.net, the podcast will feature
encouraging, insightful, and inspirational ideas to confront
and overcome obstacles to living a better life.
Having created a home with an office and exercise
room, Dr. Guy is able to podcast from her desk and
meditate in the morning while gazing at the lake. She
spends time with her husband, Stuart, who is receiving
care at the Memory Care Residences at MorseLife.
The couple came to Florida from Dr. Guy’s native
Panama, where they had established an NGO to help
provide cochlear implants to deserving patients with
hearing loss after Stuart became deaf and the two saw
first-hand how the operation can greatly improve a person’s
quality of life.
With a resume that includes completing her medical
training at Washington University in St. Louis and serving
as chief of anesthesiology at the Missouri Baptist Hospital,
Dr. Guy takes a holistic approach to living well. After
reversing some of the physical effects of MS through
diet, she wrote a book, Love Yourself Healthy. Soon,
her podcast should be available through Alexa and other
podcast providers. “There is no reason to stop living when
you reach a certain age or have an illness,” Dr. Guy said.
“Step-by-step you can transform your life.”
