Episode 311: Dr. Ana Rosa, MD, PhD

Dr. Ana Rosa, MD, PhD, is a U.S.- and Brazilian board-certified radiologist, physician educator, speaker, and metabolic health advocate who brings together medical imaging, metabolic health, and the human experience of healing and change. With decades of experience in clinical and academic radiology in Brazil and the United States, Dr. Ana Rosa uses imaging to help people understand what may be happening inside the body long before disease reaches its final stages. Her work focuses particularly on visceral fat, fatty liver and pancreas, insulin resistance, inflammation, muscle health, vascular disease, and brain changes associated with metabolic dysfunction. But her work extends beyond what can be seen on an image. After experiencing profound grief and major personal health changes in her own life, Dr. Ana Rosa became deeply interested in the connections between stress, grief, behavior, gratitude, metabolic health, and the brain. Today, she combines the precision of a physician and radiologist with education about lifestyle, mindset, and sustainable behavior change. She is the founder of The Unhindered Life, where her message is simple: see earlier, understand earlier, and act earlier—because changing the trajectory of health is often possible before reaching the end of the line of disease. Her work lives at the intersection of science and soul, helping people understand their bodies, recognize what they can change, and build a life of greater health, purpose, gratitude, and hope.   Timestamps: (00:00) Intro (05:39) Gratitude and well being (17:47) The anxiety and pain that comes from social isolation (20:26) Practical guidance for practicing gratitude (22:36) Getting to know Dr. Ana Rosa (35:27) Death and God (44:20) Gratitude and perspective (51:49) Beginning the journey of positive change (01:13:46) The science of prayer and the power of faith (01:21:43) Outro For more information, please see the links below.
