What Am I Modeling with Dr. Tricia Pingel
Here's the uncomfortable truth: You're modeling something through your behavior every single day, whether you realize it or not. The question that will change everything: What am I modeling?
I'm Dr. Tricia Pingel, a naturopathic physician and stress expert with an unusual background - I started working as a professional fashion model when I was 9 months old. Between modeling and medicine, I learned to look perfect while completely losing myself in the process.
When my mom died after a 9-month cancer battle, I realized my boys had been watching me their entire lives, learning that pushing through no matter what was the only way to live. That's when I found my way back to myself through hip hop dance and discovered the power of authentic living.
This show is for anyone tired of looking successful on the outside while barely holding it together on the inside.You'll hear my messy transformation stories, raw conversations with people who've stopped performing and started actually living, medical insights on stress and why your body keeps the score, real talk about surviving high-pressure work environments, and permission-giving moments that make you feel less alone.
This is your permission slip to stop modeling burnout and start curating joy.
New episodes every Tuesday.

Doctors Don't Want You to Know This About Aging: Dr. Tricia Pingel & Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum
Welcome back to What Am I Modeling! Today I'm joined by Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum, founder and CEO of the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, who is living proof that everything we've been told about aging is wrong.
In this eye-opening conversation, we explore:
✨ The hidden ageism in medicine that's harming patients over 50
✨ Why mindset matters more than your actual age
✨ How Dr. Sandra became stronger in her 70s than she was in her 30s
✨ The power of strength training at any age
✨ Rewiring your neural pathways to combat aging stereotypes
✨ Breaking free from perfectionism and stress that ages us faster
✨ Why it's never too late to transform your health
Dr. Sandra brings over 40 years of experience as a licensed clinical psychologist and educator, training people to become Functional Medicine health coaches. As author of "Your Health Coach Will See You Now: Creating a Healthier Future Together," she's revolutionizing how we approach aging and chronic disease prevention.
Her personal journey from accepting aging limitations to becoming stronger and more empowered with each passing year challenges everything the medical industry tells us about getting older. We dive deep into the pervasive ageism in healthcare, the importance of focusing on what's right rather than what's wrong, and how changing your thoughts can literally change your health outcomes.
Whether you're over 50 and feeling dismissed by doctors, struggling with perfectionism and stress, or wondering if it's too late to make positive changes, this conversation will completely shift your perspective on aging and empowerment.
