Life Boost with Amelia

Dr. Amelia Knight Pinkston

Forme & Santé

Fréquence : 1 épisode/16j. Total Éps: 97

Welcome to the Life Boost with Amelia podcast where we're changing the narrative around what true health and success look like. They should give you energy, not drain them. Whether you’re a veterinary professional, a high-achieving perfectionist, or a people pleaser ready to not just look good on paper but to FEEL good, my goal is to always leave you with a fresh perspective that lifts a weight off your shoulders by the end of the episode.

I'm your host, Dr. Amelia - multi-passionate integrative health and life coach, entrepreneur, and recovered burnout veterinarian. Together, we'll explore the science behind how your brain and body work, including the unconscious mind while also connecting with what your heart needs in order to stand up to the norm of feeling stuck on a hamster wheel-working hard yet feeling exhausted and not where you want to be- and instead live a life that makes you excited to get out of bed in the morning and in love with who you see when you look in the mirror.

The reality is if you do what everyone else is doing, you're not going to feel good. Let's break the norm.

Ep. 96 | The Story No One Is Telling: What a Team USA Bobsledder’s Brain Injury Reveals About Depression and Mental Health

Saison 1 · Épisode 96

lundi 9 février 2026 • Durée 01:18:39

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

This episode started as a conversation about an elite sport — but it quickly became something much bigger.

Former Team USA bobsledder Will Person shares what happened years after repeated head trauma left him battling confusion, depression, memory loss, and suicidal thoughts — long after his athletic career ended.

His story highlights a critical gap in how we understand mental health: many people struggling with depression, personality changes, or cognitive decline may be living with untreated brain injury — without knowing it.

With the Winter Olympics underway, this conversation offers an important behind-the-scenes look at what high-impact sports demand of the brain — and why athletes are often taught to push through symptoms that appear “minor” at the time.

In veterinary medicine and other caregiving professions, mental health struggles are often framed as emotional or psychological problems alone.

This episode invites a deeper question: What happens when physical brain injury, chronic stress, inflammation, or nervous system overload are part of the picture — but never evaluated?

In this episode, we explore:

How repeated sub-concussive impacts can affect the brain years later
Why CTE and brain injuries are often misdiagnosed or overlooked
The hidden mental health toll of elite sports — and other head trauma that may be dismissed or forgotten
Why “rest and return to play” is often not enough for concussions
How hyperbaric oxygen therapy helped restore clarity, energy, and hope — and what this could mean for future brain-based mental health care

If you know someone who has experienced a concussion, head injury, or unexplained mental health changes — especially years later — please share this episode to help raise awareness.

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

In this episode of the 'Life Boost with Amelia' podcast, host Dr. Amelia, an integrative health and life coach, recovered burned out veterinarian, and entrepreneur delves into the science behind GLP-1 weight loss medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro) and why our bodies might be failing to produce GLP-1 naturally.

Dr. Amelia introduces a new resource, the GLP-1 Experiment, which combines scientific insight with guided hypnosis, aiming to provide an integrative approach to weight loss.

She critiques the current healthcare system, detailing the importance of understanding the body's interconnectedness and exploring alternative methods for achieving sustainable health and weight management.

Ep. 85 | Overwhelmed by the State of the World? How to Harness Your Stress Strategically

Saison 1 · Épisode 85

jeudi 26 juin 2025 • Durée 24:36

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

In this episode, Dr. Amelia explores how to navigate the overwhelming state of the world without burning out. She explains that the discomfort we’re feeling—stress, frustration, heartbreak—isn’t the problem. It’s a normal, human response to a world that’s out of alignment.

The real issue is how we’ve been taught to react to that discomfort.

Dr. Amelia breaks down common nervous system stress responses—flight, fight, and freeze—and how to work with them instead of against them. You’ll learn how to harness your stress strategically so it fuels aligned, meaningful action (instead of exhaustion or shutdown).

By recognizing your patterns and supporting your nervous system, you can turn this chaotic time into a turning point—one that reconnects you to what really matters.

Note: The message in this episode is not intended for those who are currently facing direct threats to their safety, rights, or well-being—for example, individuals fearing deportation, navigating systemic discrimination, or experiencing the impacts of harmful policy changes firsthand.

This message is for those of us who are feeling the weight of the world—angry, heartbroken, overwhelmed by the injustice we see—but who also hold some level of privilege, safety, or stability. If you're someone who wants to show up more intentionally without burning out, this is for you.

Ep. 80 | The #1 Most Important Question To Ask Yourself Going Into 2025

Saison 1 · Épisode 80

dimanche 29 décembre 2024 • Durée 24:54

Send me a text sharing your thoughts or questions

Dwight Eisenhower got it right when he said, "what is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important".

I really connected with that on a deep level a few years ago when I was burned out and wishing decades of my life away. I was dreaming of retirement because that's when I imagined I'd actually get to start living and enjoying my life. And I realized that I didn't want to keep doing that. I wanted to actually start enjoying the life that I had now - the one that I knew I was going to get to live. I realize how tragic if I spent my entire life self-sacrificing for a better future and I never actually got to enjoy that future! And so that's why when ever I have a guest on the podcast, one of the questions I ask is, "when do you feel most alive?" Because that question helps to reconnect us with those important things that may not feel urgent in life, but they make all the difference and get to the heart of what really matters.

This podcast episode is compilation of the responses that my guests have had over the year as well as my own answer to inspire you. Getting clear on what helps you to feel most alive will help you to make changes in your life and navigate your day in a way that lights you up instead of burning you out.

After listening, send me a message or voice memo sharing what your answer is to the question. I'd love to continue to have more roundups like this in the future!

For support making changes so you're not living your life letting those urgent, but not important things crowd out all the things that are truly important at the end of the day and at the end of your life that's what my coaching programs are designed to do to help you to reconnect with the version of you that feels most alive and fulfilled in life.
