In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber sit down with Diane Owen – a photographer, mom of three, and graduate of the Becoming Body Smart program – to unpack what true, long-term change looks like from the client's side.
Diane shares how she went from an "on again, off again" athlete stuck in a painful injury–weight gain cycle to a consistent runner logging 6 days a week, 1,000+ miles a year, multiple half marathons, and 22 minutes off her half-marathon time – all while avoiding burnout and major injury. You'll hear how VO₂ testing, low heart-rate (Zone 2) training, and data-driven coaching helped her repair her relationship with exercise, food, and her own identity as an athlete.
Whether you're a clinician, coach, or everyday runner who feels like you've "tried everything," this conversation shows how the right data, the right plan, and relentless consistency can completely change what you believe is possible.
