Kerry:

All right. Hi, everybody. Welcome back to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kerry Reller. And today we have Dr. Stacey Funt joining us for the podcast tonight. Welcome to the podcast and why don't you tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do?

Stacey:

Thanks so much. I'm really happy to be here. My name is Stacy Funt. I'm a radiologist in New York, and about 11 years ago or so, I went back for lifestyle medicine and health coaching, and I did wellness work for a long time really morphed into teaching physicians self care. On the side, I've been a lifelong global adventure traveler my entire life and always had the idea of combining them. And then once my kids left for college, the time was right. And so now besides being a radiologist, I'm also a tour operator and I curate and lead women's wellness adventures around the globe. And all of my itineraries are based on basic tenets of lifestyle medicine. So it's women's wellness adventure travel.

Kerry:

That's awesome. So first of all, you got into lifestyle medicine really early on, cause I don't even know if it was around back 11 years

Stacey:

I was one of the, I went to one of the very first conferences.

Kerry:

Yeah, that's awesome. So what should to review because I have had discussions on lifestyle medicine, what are the general pillars of lifestyle medicine?

Stacey:

Okay. So it's all about how we live our life to prevent, and in some cases, even reverse chronic disease to stay well. So it's movement, it's healthy eating, it's stress management, and it's community. Those are the four that in all of my trips. And then there's also involved sleep. And then if you have addiction, get help for addiction. Those are the main pillars of lifestyle medicine.

Kerry:

Okay. Yeah. I mean, I think like I said, I have, I do obesity medicine, it crosses over a little bit, but not, you know, completely. Right. And I think obviously with some of the nutrition things, there's a little bit of difference there too. What I thought was interesting though, as you mentioned the sense of community and obesity medicine doesn't do that. Can, Can you expand on how you use community and kind of what you do? Cause I think that's very unique.

Stacey:

Yeah, first of all, just community is a pillar. I love that they have community as a pillar because we are social beings and there's so much tied to how we relate to other people and how that affects our wellbeing and our wellness in so many different levels. So the way I use it, my, my trips, there's no join now button on my website. You know, everybody has to meet with me first. Like we have a one on one zoom with everybody interested to make sure it's a great fit because sisterhood is a really big part of my adventures. And like half the people come with one friend, half the people come alone, you know, it doesn't really matter, but we form a sisterhood and we form like a supportive community that we have this whole shared experience together. And Honestly, I get comments after and I have people fill out evaluations. And it's always one of people's absolute favorite parts of the whole experience. You know, I've had people come to me like just the last trip, somebody sent me a note after that since her kids had just gone to college and since her kids left for college, she didn't even realize that was the missing piece for her connection. Being with a group of women like this on this, we went to Morocco. So being in this amazing culture on this wonderful trip it inspired her to build more community back at home. And now she's putting more time and energy into relationships and building that because it's through community that we move. It's through community they support our habits. It's through community that we share food. Food and community is a very big part of our stress management. You know, sharing with another person what we're going through, who we are, just pillars of support. So I think it's a really big part of how we live well, which is what lifestyle medicine is really all about, like living well.

Kerry:

Yeah, I, I like how you say it can support your habits and all of these things, I guess in some ways, you know, depending upon what community you have, it also don't have a negative effect, right? But you clearly want to associate yourselves with people who have like minded individuals who are, you know, having the same healthy goals as you, right?

Stacey:

Absolutely. It is much, much easier to support habits if you're with people who have similar habits

Kerry:

I always find it a blessing how I found my husband because we. You know, we're on the same page. We both like to work out and eat healthy and things like that. And, you know, I don't know, had we, you know, found different partners, like maybe we wouldn't be keeping these good habits up

Stacey:

It's funny you say that, like my husband and I, we met it was a hiking trip and it was like, I was in the AMC, he was in the Sierra Club and it was a joint bring your dog on a hike. You know, we were the two that brought dogs and, and so hiking is still like now we're married 22 years, 23 years. And we go on treks around the globe and he comes with me to explore new places and it's a big part of our life together. And for me. I don't love going to the gym. I'm not, I just don't enjoy it. I make myself do it sometimes, but hiking is a big part of how I get movement and to have a partner who shares in that is really wonderful, really wonderful supporting

Kerry:

Yeah. Another thing about community, when we think about longevity and living healthier to an older age, you know, all these, new shows about the blue zones and everything that you hear about how they all have this wonderful sense of community and these other, you know, lifestyle pillars that they are able to live till they're a hundred years old. You know, I think that community is a big component of that as well. Wouldn't you agree?

Stacey:

Absolutely. And you know, a lot of the work on the blue zones that it's fascinating work for anyone who doesn't know about the blue zone. So interesting to read about it. But one thing that they all have in common is they have a sense of purpose. Right. That's a big part of the people who live in these blue zones where life expectancy is the longest and they have the best outcomes with, you know, in the least amount of chronic disease. And that sense of purpose often comes from being in community, whether you're giving to your community or whether you're giving to, you know, that's, that's so often how we find our purpose. So,

Kerry:

Yeah, absolutely. So tell me, you say, you know, on your website and elsewhere that travel is a profound way to heal and transform. So what are some moments in your personal travels that kind of cemented this belief?

Stacey:

Oh, my gosh. Well, I've been a traveler always, and I always say, like, I, I feel I don't pick a trip. I feel like a trip picks me, like, all of a sudden, I just know I have to go. But I think my most profound experience I mean, I have been on travels to heal relationships ending, or I've been on travels to start moving again. But I think the most profound transformation for me personally was after my kids left me. for college a month before they left. My father in law passed away unexpectedly, and a month after they left, my father passed away unexpectedly. So, and, and I only have the two, so we became empty nesters all at once. They're twins. So it was such a deep sense of loss. It really was. You know, I found myself feeling like maybe the best was behind me, which I had never felt before. And I was so sad and I just knew, I just. I just felt a calling to go to Nepal. I'm like, I have to go trekking in Nepal. And I asked my husband, he's a teacher. So we scheduled to go that April. just the act of preparing and planning for that trip, Got me out of that funk. It bonded us. It got me moving again. It got me excited about something. So just having something that was a challenge and a shared goal really moved me to another place. But then going to Nepal I'd been to Asia before, but never Nepal, never this region. And especially that point of our life we went to the crematorium, the Hindu crematorium and learned about their beliefs about death and dying and the body. And it, it was very healing for me on many, many levels, like a body soul kind of healing. And I had thought about doing wellness travel adventure for many years and it was on that trip the flight home I knew I was going to do it. It was a big financial risk at the beginning and things I had to do and I just knew I was going to do it and all of a sudden I knew Morocco was going to be my first trip back then like I just I knew it and so that trip for me really was like a pivotal point in my journey. Next chapter of my life without actively mothering my children, you know, and really gave me the It really helped me with my grief of losing my father, and my father in law, more so my father, because, you know, he'd raised me. And then having the courage to pivot to this new aspect of my life. So and I've had that experience. That was the biggest level, but so many trips, and maybe you have your own experiences as well, that To go to another land where you're not in your normal habits. You're not with usual people. And then you're in this entirely different culture. And then my trips, I do a lot of nature based we go to, we go for culture, but I like the natural settings and, to have these awe inspiring experiences it's just I feel like it opens up portals for you to go to different places.

Kerry:

Mm hmm. I totally agree. I like, you know, the nature based ones that are adventure seeking, like you're doing something fun or, you know, creating a goal. I saw you guys have gone to Machu Picchu and I've done that, I think several years ago and my husband hasn't. So we've been talking about it. But you know, I think, I think those are where I really find that time to reflect and really enjoy nature, right? Like God's earth, which is just beautiful. And I don't know if I take the time to appreciate it every day. And I think being out to places that I've never been before, and that look totally different than boring Florida, then I think I could, you know, it's so special, even just like going to California and the different coasts and the different waters is just, you know, it's such a great time. Like, you know, you said to like heal and just reflect back too. So I totally agree with that. how do you think the background in lifestyle medicine kind of shaped how you design these, Travels and trips and things like that.

Stacey:

Yeah, I think that had a very big impact, and I'm going to touch on something you just said that ties into this. I think part of the, you ever go on a trip and maybe you're away for five days even, but you feel like you've been away so much longer? Right? I don't know if that happens to you, time expands, and I, I think the reason for that is what you just talked about. When you go to a new place, We're much more mindful. We're so present because we're looking at everything. Everything's a new perspective. Like I'm not sitting there daydreaming and like going through Facebook and Googling all day, right? Like I'm really there and I'm taking it in and I'm seeing all these things I never saw before experiencing things I haven't experienced before. And that's mindfulness and that's presence. And I think that's why. Time expands so much and, you know, stress management, that's one of the pillars of lifestyle medicine. A big part is being present in our lives. I think, you know, that, that makes travel a unique opportunity. It's like a moving meditation to me or like a moving practice in mindfulness. So I have always been interested in personal development and wellness and, and that. So the training in lifestyle medicine It amazed me the amount of science behind all of this and the impact. And as a physician, I really got that health does not take place in the doctor's office. Health takes place in how we live our lives. And for me, as someone who loves to travel, travel's always been a healthy part of my life. And when I, you know, travel and then couldn't find healthy food, or I felt really, like, full, or like, gluttony, you know, it didn't make me feel good. It just, it didn't resonate with other things that I like to do and what makes me feel most alive and best about myself. So, so as I was learning the lifestyle medicine it just integrated so naturally into the way I like to plan trips. And I just saw this was, could be a perfect marriage, you know, for people who enjoy movement. I mean, my movement isn't like, I am going to Peru in May. I've been before, but I'm taking a group in May. We're doing the one day hike on the Inca Trail. We're not doing the five day. I'll really push it when I'm alone with my husband, but I'm like the last one up the hill. My trips are more moderate and I do get like in Morocco, we hike it's spectacular. I have different level guides, you know, to accommodate different paces and things like that. But to me, I really appreciate being able to move and being able to take care of myself. And, and so to be able to do that on an adventure it just. Just feels like a great way to live to me. That's why I wanted to bring it into my business.

Kerry:

Yeah. I think another thing you mentioned, like with the stress relief and things like that, we're always trying to now promote making sure that people take their vacation time. Right. And I think it's, that's part of it too, right? You need to be. Taking that time without the gear, having that special pause and going to take your vacation. Now, whether it's a staycation or vacation, you know, it kind of depends, but I mean, I think that's important for the overall stress that most people are doing. And some people in the past, you know, would forego those weeks of vacation. And now it's, I think a lot of wellness programs are encouraging employees to make sure to take that time and really realize that they need it. And it's important. And this is why we give it to you. Right.

Stacey:

Yes. I think it's great. You said that. And I also love that you mentioned staycation because you don't have to have a lot of money to have a new adventure at all, you know, travel. You could do inexpensive travel, you know, as a medical student, I had no money and I traveled, you know, I use like points and stayed in inexpensive places, but there can be an adventure anywhere. And during COVID, I did like, I was like Morocco, so I took Moroccan cooking classes and I have a newsletter. I have a monthly newsletter. And in my newsletter, I have an international recipe in every issue. Just like a mainly whole foods or when my kids were growing up I've been a traveler forever when I had little twins, we couldn't go anywhere, but I would decorate the living room and we would pick a country and we would make food and we would get the music and we would, we would turn our whole house, that room into that country. And it was just really fun and exciting. And they would learn about Buddha or they would learn, you know, we would make it this really fun experience. And So even a staycation just takes a little bit of work and a little bit of research. There's always things within an hour drive, wherever you live, to change something up and bring in something new that makes you feel very present to it, you know.

Kerry:

Yeah, no, that's true. I like that. That's kind of the stage we're in, not going too far, but doing

Stacey:

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Kerry:

So how do you incorporate like healthy eating? Sometimes people think that they're just going to eat terribly when they're on vacation and they're going to gain a bunch of weight and they're worried about it. So how do you incorporate that

Stacey:

yeah, I mean, I hate to say it like this, but basically leaving America, you're going to eat better period, right? So the country's like, like this year I have Morocco, Guatemala, Tuscany. I'm planning to Spain right now and have Peru, right? Most of those cultures, it's predominantly whole foods. So most places they eat better. Then we do here, especially like Peru, Morocco, you know and all of my trips include a cooking class or a food tour or most people don't realize Antigua Guatemala is an amazing culinary scene, but it's all whole foods. They have a lot of farm to table. They have farms all over in Guatemala. And so it's really, really fresh food. We're not like militant and people could do whatever they want, but. I always make sure there's full vegetarian options and we're groups of women. We're staying active and I give everybody a little goodie bag at the beginning and have like RX bars for snacks and you know, so everybody could do exactly what they want. But for the most part we're moving, we're active, we're engaged, we're enjoying each other's company and we eat really well. We eat really well.

Kerry:

Yeah, a lot of patients will come back and go to Europe and say, Oh, you know what? I thought I was going to gain a bunch of weight, but then I came back and I ate the same things that I would eat here, but I lost weight, right? We're like, well, that's because they're not ultra processed pizza and stuff. They used all whole ingredients or pasta, same thing,

Stacey:

so interesting because my daughter's studying in London this entire year and she's home right now on vacation and she was saying that she can't get some of the products in London that we have here because they have so much there's so much more mindful of environmental toxins or processed food or we have ingredients here. They have the same products in Europe with different ingredients because they just tolerate a different level.

Kerry:

they've done a little bit better in getting out the bad stuff

Stacey:

yeah, yeah, they have. So that's why I said if you leave America, you're pretty much gonna You know, when we go to Peru, when we, I mean, the food is spectacular. I mean, all, every country that I picked, you know, part of it is a culinary experience and they cook with real whole foods. And we go to the spice market in Morocco and, you know, we have tagine cooking class and we, you know, we just do all these things and yeah.

Kerry:

I'm trying to remember, like, what I actually ate in Peru, and I don't remember, but I remember it being good. It's

Stacey:

So good. The potatoes, they have like 3000 varieties of potatoes and they have meat and they have Peru's fascinating because they really they're the indigenous communities are so earth based, right? Pachamama is, is the, this, what they worship that they worship in, in Peru. And they're very connected that the Incas were amazing food engineers. I mean, brilliant, brilliant food engineers and crop rotation and mixing foods to create variety. And you know, what do we have? Two varieties of potatoes in our supermarket. You go to their market. There's seriously hundreds and hundreds of different kinds of potatoes and they understood living in harmony with food and the role of food and nurturing our body. And they had such reverence and respect for the land

Kerry:

hmm.

Stacey:

So. It's really magical there.

Kerry:

Yeah. I mean, like you said, it's nurturing rather than just, you know, pleasurable like experiences is actually healing and making you healthy, which I think is a different perspective than we have on these things

Stacey:

You know, I was saying to my husband recently, like, I went through a period where I ate a lot of junk. I mean, seriously, just junk or just eight. And, and then I start to slow things down and I was following the Mediterranean diet for a while and I was really putting in the time to cook. And I didn't realize how much I love cilantro and lime and feta together in a dish like lime cilantro shrimp with that. Like I started making real foods and realized how absolutely delicious these flavors are because I just hadn't, I hadn't had the true flavors before because I was eating out, I was rushing, I was, you know, and it made me realize how enjoyable real food can actually be and how much I have particular tastes I didn't even know I had, you know.

Kerry:

You're making me hungry. That's good. Yeah. So what well, give us some of your favorite stories or trips that you've had.

Stacey:

Oh, gosh. I mean, favorite is such an interesting word. Of course, me hosting a trip is different than me going and being on a trip, right? So, so I'm going to answer that question from the perspective of host, right? From the perspective of running my business, because I've had many amazing moments traveling. I mean, it's just some of my peak moments in life have some of my most spiritual moments. and some of my most deeply profound moments for me have been traveling and usually in a natural setting on some adventure. But as a host running these adventures, it's very personally rewarding for me now. I pretty much, I've traveled the globe, so to now, To me, first of all, just creating the experiences is really fun. I do not just use a company in another country and then they run the trip for me. Not at all. I go there first, I pick out exactly what I want, I meet all my local outfitters, I pick some people, and then I work with them to bring to life the adventure I want to go on. So, so that's me. And so creating these experiences that maybe women who don't have anyone to travel with or maybe would be nervous because they haven't done it a lot to be able to bring them on these experiences that normally maybe they wouldn't have joined is really exciting for me. That's kind of like a mission. That's fun. And then to see the community build. That's a really big high for me because that's what I wanted. That's what I was. Once my kids left, I wanted to build community, but personal stories, like I had one woman, I told her I zoom with everyone. And on the zoom call she started to get very emotional because she had been caretaking for so many members of her family for so long, she completely neglected herself and she gained a lot of weight and she felt like she was a doormat, just doing everything for everyone else. And for some reason, my thing came up, she heard about it, it sparked an interest, and we talked. And she decided to make the commitment to herself. She signed up early. She decided to make the commitment to herself to go on this trip with me. Well then I saw her about 8 months later. When we went on the trip, she had lost 50 pounds. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. And she cried a few times during the trip like It just, it made me cry because I was so excited for her, but crying because she just felt so great that she was taking care of herself. You know, the weight, the weight is never the problem. The weight is a symptom, right? The weight is just showing what's going on in someone's life, in my opinion, you know. So it was just such an incredible moment for her to really honor herself and take the time to take care of herself. And then she had so much more to give to everyone else from a more powerful place, you know? So that was a real peak moment for me. And then I had another woman who had some very big medical challenges. She had surgery and she's someone I knew And I, I've been through parts of my life, I hadn't seen her in a long time. When I had seen her last, she was in a wheelchair and I have active trips. So when she had called me and said she wanted to go, I thought, you know, I'll just explain to her and I can recommend other trips for her, somebody else's trip. But when we met, she'd actually worked really, really hard in rehab for a long time. And she was great. She was great. She had a little bit of balance issue and that was it. And I hired an extra guy just in case there was any issue. You know, I just, I just had a gut feeling this was great. She, it had been her dream to go while she was still sick. One of her friends who was going to go with her went to that place and so she came and when I tell you she was like front of the pack most of the trip and you know that was a real peak moment for me to see that and have her it was like proving she had just passed another moment in her life like that illness was now behind her so so those

Kerry:

Those are amazing. Yeah.

Stacey:

that have been really, I didn't expect, I didn't expect those things to happen. I just thought, oh, this will be really fun. This is my passion. Let me put it out there. And, you know, I, I'm a radiologist. So often I sit in the dark and I read films and I'm not so connected. So this is actually, So joyous for me personally to feel more involved in people's lives and to see the impact directly like that, it's incredibly rewarding for me as someone with this business.

Kerry:

Yeah absolutely. I mean, those are huge transformations for people big time, like to be able to do those physical feats and have those great results and have a wonderful time. That's, those are huge. That's that definitely would feel really good to be a part of that.

Stacey:

And when I say sisterhood, like at the beginning, everybody introduced themselves. I asked them questions. We have all of our meals, our dinners together. So everybody knew, in both of those cases, people knew their stories. So it wasn't just me that was happy for them, like we all, we all felt inspired. You know, it was inspirational.

Kerry:

so for people who aren't able to like, kind of go on a global, global adventure right now, how can they bring the spirit of wellness and adventure into their everyday lives?

Stacey:

Oh, gosh, there's,

Kerry:

We sort of touched on it, but

Stacey:

there's so many ways to do that. And I guess, I guess my first response would be, well, start with what interests you, right? If you're somebody who likes to cook a little, right there, that could be the portal into wellness and well being, right? Maybe changing up some recipes, playing some international music, reading about the history of a place. that you bring a recipe in from. Watching a movie from that country before you make the meal or after or, you know, something like that can just make it so fun, like, decide to make an Indian meal and then watch a movie about Gandhi or, you know,

Kerry:

decorate your home like India, like

Stacey:

Indian music. Like, or, I'm just picking one country. So many, so many countries. That's so if, if you enjoy food at all or even wanted to, that could be a really easy place to start. Now with YouTube, there's so many easy ways to just learn how to do something new. If, if you enjoy food. movement. If you enjoy dance, dance is such a fun way to travel the world and never leave your home because every culture in the world, I think dancing is part of our DNA and every culture, especially every indigenous culture around the world, they have their dance. And so bringing in a dance from another place is a way to get movement. And you could do all those other aspects with the dance. You can invite some Friends over like for the dance, you know, like my one of my birthday parties. I had A goddess party and I had a belly dancer come and brought it middle eastern food and we had like, you know Things like that. So dance is another really Fun way and if you just enjoy being social you could take any of these things. We just talked about Make it a party. You know, I once had a sushi party and I had all the mixes and I bought the rollers and we played the Japanese music and you know, so, so many different ways to change up routine because that's what it is. Breaking out a routine for something that interests you and helps you grow in some way. Something that excites you. Somebody once said to me, follow the energy. And I love that. I love that expression. If something excites you, Then follow that and go with it. And, and, and that will always lead you somewhere good to, to me, as long as it's like healthy energy, not that you're on like a artificial high, but if you, if you follow the authentic energy so I would suggest whatever turns you on in life maybe dogs, you know, buy dog collars or a new doggy thing or from around, you know, and and, and bring something new in with it.

Kerry:

Yeah, I like to follow the energy. I wrote that down. I think that's fantastic. Great, great idea. I think also like, you know, maybe reliving I was just thinking of something we could do is like reliving our honeymoon of where we went and like creating a meal from, you know, where we went and so our kids can taste it and see

Stacey:

Oh, my gosh. What? I love that. What a great idea. We're all creative beings, right? So once you just start thinking, that's brilliant. I love that. So

Kerry:

Awesome. Yeah. These are, these are great, great ideas. So if any listeners want to learn more about your trips, where can they connect with you online or find out

Stacey:
