Rooted in Wellness with Liz and Amy is a podcast for first responders and others working in high-stress professions who want realistic, sustainable ways to support their health and well-being. Hosted by Elizabeth Mann, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist, and Amy Gerdes, Registered Nurse and Integrative Health Practitioner, the show explores the connection between mental, emotional, and physical health through the lens of demanding careers. Drawing from decades of experience in mental health, emergency medicine, trauma care, and integrative wellness, Liz and Amy have honest conversations about stress, burnout, nervous system health, trauma, cardiovascular health, relationships, sleep, resilience, and the many ways high-pressure work can impact life outside of the job. Rather than offering idealized wellness routines that don’t fit real life, Rooted in Wellness focuses on relatable education and practical strategies you can actually use. Because wellness shouldn’t become one more thing on your to-do list. The goal is to help you make intentional, sustainable changes that support your mind and body—and build a life you don’t have to recover from.
