Buckle Up Podcast — Episode Description @drcathysa

Healing with Purpose: Longevity, Ethics, and Compassion in Medicine with Dr. Catherine “Dr Cathy” Davies

Today on the Buckle Up Podcast, we had the absolute honor of sitting down with the incredible Dr. Catherine “Dr Cathy” Davies — and what an unforgettable conversation it was.

From the moment she joined us, her kindness, warmth, humor, and genuine spirit filled the room. Dr Cathy brings not only deep medical expertise, but also a powerful sense of purpose rooted in compassion, integrity, and service to others. Her energy is uplifting, her wisdom is grounded, and her mission is clear — to help people live healthier, longer, and more meaningful lives.

We explored her journey as a physician, educator, researcher, and global leader in longevity science, regenerative medicine, aesthetics, and hair restoration. She shared insights from her work, her passion for medical education, and her dedication to empowering people through knowledge. It’s clear that helping others isn’t just what she does — it’s who she is.

One of the most powerful moments of our conversation centered around the Hippocratic Oath and the ethical responsibility that comes with practicing medicine. That message deeply resonated with us. As someone who has personally experienced both compassionate care and the pain of unethical medical treatment while caring for a loved one, this part of the conversation hit close to home. It was a powerful reminder that patients are not numbers, cases, or paychecks — they are human beings, families, and lives that deserve dignity, respect, and care.

Dr Cathy embodies the very heart of what medicine is meant to be — humanity, integrity, and healing.

Beyond her clinical work, she is an internationally recognized lecturer, published author, and media creator, using television and education to bring medical knowledge to the public and inspire positive change around the world.

Most of all, we walked away from this conversation feeling grateful — not just for her expertise, but for her spirit. She is truly one of those people who leaves you better than she found you.

We’re proud to call her a friend, and she is always welcome back on the Buckle Up Podcast.

Buckle Up Podcast Universe — Featuring Melissa Mirren

Today was an absolute blast on the Buckle Up Podcast Universe as we welcomed the incredibly talented Melissa Mirren — a voiceover actress who truly brought the magic.

Melissa joined us for a fun, insightful conversation about her journey into voiceover, how she first got started, and the people and experiences that influenced her along the way. She shared what drew her to the craft, the characters she loves to play, and the versatility it takes to move between commercials, animation, video games, and more.

We also talked about some of the standout projects she’s worked on — including commercials you’ve definitely heard, and even being the voice at the airport. One of the highlights of the episode was Melissa jumping in and doing voices live on the show, giving listeners a real behind-the-scenes look at her talent and creative process.

Beyond the credits and accolades, Melissa brought such a bright energy, generosity, and passion for the art of voice acting. It was one of those conversations that flew by, and we loved every minute of it.

This is an episode for aspiring voice actors, creatives, and anyone curious about the world behind the voices we hear every day. We’re grateful for Melissa’s time and talent — and we can’t wait to have her back again.
