In this enlightening episode, I am joined by Dr. Katja Schlemitz, a renowned Vienna-based doctor with a passion for holistic health care for musicians. Together, we dive deep into pressing health issues musicians often face, such as the battle against sleep disorders and the toll of stress on the immune system. Dr. Katya shares her wealth of knowledge on the transformative impact of nutrition and exercise on a musician's performance, spotlighting the critical role of establishing daily routines and embracing personalized medicine for peak health.
We both touch on sensitive topics like mental health in the music industry, the controversial use of beta-blockers for performance anxiety, and strategies for musicians to sustain a balanced, healthy lifestyle amid their demanding careers. Dr. Schlemitz strongly recommends building a robust support system, including health coaching and preventive care, to empower musicians to reach their highest potential in both performance and wellbeing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in the music profession looking to harmonize their health with their art.
