Now more than ever, emotional and mental health in the veterinary profession has become something of a concern.  

Dr. Jessica Turner, a graduate of Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine, knows first-hand how hard vetlife can be.

She spent years struggling with disordered eating, anxiety/depression, Postpartum Depression (PPD) and even lost a friend to suicide.  Despite all this, she never lost hope.  Instead, she made the biggest decision of her life- quitting the veterinarian field altogether! 

With this decision, Dr. Jessica decided to pursue her passion for helping other people by becoming a health and fitness consultant.

 And now, she’s teaming up with Vet Candy for her new inspirational podcast, “Living Well with Dr. Jessica”- available on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, and other podcast platforms.  The show features fun, delightful, and relatable conversations centered around healthy living with the world’s most exciting experts.

Her first show, featuring Alyssa Mages BS, CVT (she/her/hers), co-founder of Empowering Veterinary Teams, LLC, talks about the importance of work life balance.
