Dr. Hema Murty has a PhD in aerospace engineering, but the work she is doing today is all about helping people move better, hurt less, and stop treating their bodies like machines that need to be forced into submission. Her path into wellness began with her own knee pain after training for and completing the Toronto Marathon, followed by years of frustrating advice that did not actually solve the problem.

We talk about why one-size-fits-all fitness plans often leave people discouraged, the connection between stress and physical pain, and why fitness should support your life instead of becoming another exhausting job. Her biggest message is simple: start where you are, listen to your body, and build consistency around what helps you feel better.

Liz Watt is back for part two, and we go deeper into what happened after her personal health turnaround. Liz is the CEO and co-founder of Be Healthy Utah, an author, speaker, health coach, and someone who has built a meaningful community around natural health, resilience, and the belief that it is never too late to make changes that support a better life.

She shares how a dream, a big leap of faith, and a conference that did not go exactly as planned became the beginning of something much bigger. We talk about burnout, building a team, taking care of your health while chasing a purpose, learning to adapt when life shuts things down, and why success sometimes looks like celebrating the 400 people who showed up instead of mourning the 1,100 who did not. Liz’s message is simple but powerful: live today in a way that helps you bless others tomorrow.

Liz Watt had spent years living what she believed was a healthy, natural life. She cooked from scratch, raised six kids, leaned into natural remedies, and built a life around wellness. Then her body began falling apart in ways nobody could explain. Pain moved through her joints, numbness spread across her back, and everyday life became something she had to fight through.

What I appreciated about Liz’s story is that she does not pretend there was one magic fix. She talks about slowing down, paying attention, changing foods that seemed to trigger her symptoms, and rebuilding her relationship with her body one step at a time. This is a conversation about resilience, caregiving, exhaustion, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the person most overdue for care is the one who has been taking care of everybody else.
