S7 Ep 124: REJUVENATE, your MIND, BODY your HEALTH!

In our Guest’s Own Words:  My name is Dr. Monika Juszczyk I am originally from Poland. I graduated from the Academy of Medicine in Wroclaw, Poland. Subsequently, I emigrated to the United States to pursue my dreams here. I left Poland with 1 backpack during the flood of the century. Since my degree was not recognized here and we study medicine in Polish I had to start from the beginning. I volunteered and did observerships at Allegheny Valley Hospital in Natrona Heights, PA plus other hospitals in Pittsburgh, PA.  I joined Kaplan Center in Pittsburgh where I studied medicine with doctors from all over the world. All of us had to re-do our medical school in English; then take 3 required exams USMLE 1,2,3, a practical exam that was offered in Philadelphia, and English TOEFL.  During this time I volunteered in church, watched children, study English on my own, and exercise regularly. After passing the required exams I applied for an Internal Medicine residency and was offered of match position in the St. Elizabeth hospital, Youngstown, OH which is part of NEOMED – Northeast Ohio Medical University. During residency, I stayed actively involved in research, especially in cardiovascular diseases and the processes of chronic inflammation.  My interest lies in the early detection of chronic inflammatory processes, prevention, and treatment. Resuming health = flourishing physically, emotionally, and mentally within the internal and external environment.  To stay mentally fit and balanced I prayed and went to church regularly, often daily. After graduating from IM residency I was accepted for a preventive cardiology fellowship in Hartford Hospital part of UCONN- University of Connecticut.  My mentor was Paul D Thompson, MD, a cardiologist, and avid athlete who worked before in Pittsburgh. I worked in the lipidology, sports cardiology, and preventive cardiology department. Our research involved statins induced myopathy ( myalgia, muscle aches, myositis/ inflammation of the muscles)  I worked closely not only with a team of cardiologists but also with exercise physiologists, geneticists, the research department of the University of Massachusetts, geneticists, as well as with psychologists During this time I publish a paper on statin myopathy, prevention, and treatment
