Listen, Honey! We’re talking about health and wellness with Dr. Curtis Koons
On the inaugural episode of Listen, Honey!, I sit down with my friend, Curtis Koons, a triple board-certified medical provider from Kentucky, to talk about his incredible journey – from growing up in the holler to graduating medical school at the University of Kentucky. Curtis shares what it was like leaving home at a young age, building his career in medicine and what it means to come full-circle while serving his Appalachian community today.Â
Curtis is an anesthesiologist and owns and operates Bluegrass Precision Wellness on top of being a practicing doctor. They are one of my partners and sponsors and I love everything they do to help us get smarter and better about health and wellness.Â
Bluegrass Precision wellness opened in Pikeville, Ky., in 2023 and expanded to Lexington this summer. We even talked about how we met and the partnership came about during the episode.Â
In addition to his journey, Curtis talks about the approach Bluegrass Precision Wellness takes to helping patients lose weight and live healthier, including the use of medications like Mounjaro. Â
We both talk about our own wellness routines, the importance of supplements, and more ideas to help inspire your own healthier living. Both of our health journeys were influenced when we separately discovered we have the Alzheimer’s gene.Â
And then Curtis turned the table and asked me questions about how I built my TikTok and social media presence. So we talked a little about him, me and everything else.Â
We finished off talking about how amazing Appalachian culture and Eastern Kentucky really are. There’s so much talent here, from musicians (like The Creekers) to doctors like Curtis and all those mountain mamas making that delicious mountain food. Â
Listen, Honey! This was so much fun. I knew Curtis would be a great first guest to introduce you to the kinds of conversations we’ll have and how helpful they can be to all of you!
