Who You Callin’ Crazy?!
Welcome to our unique mental health podcast! Licensed therapist, Juliet Kuehnle, uses humor and real talk to dive into the stories of interesting people you (want to) know. Of course there will be therapy tips (because, let's be serious, we all need them!), but mostly these conversations are a glimpse into the vulnerability of the people you might think "have it all together." We want to elevate and normalize the dialogue around mental health and erase the stigma so we can all own our humanness and maybe even proudly claim, "Yep, I go to therapy!"

In this episode, I talk to Sam Abbott, a registered dietitian who specializes in working with clients who struggle with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Sam is passionate about helping individuals take a non-diet approach to nutrition and improving their symptoms without hating their bodies.
Sam shares about her own mental health journey and traumas she has endured, including losing her father at a young age, divorce, and witnessing the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech.
In a nutshell, we chat about...
- Sam’s clinical and personal perspective of PCOS.
- The body image struggles that even eating disorder professionals can go through.
- Taking a weight-inclusive approach to nutrition and health.
- How Sam addressed the trauma she has suffered.
- When to know that it's time to check back in with someone -- therapy as an adult.
- Her take on ‘What I Eat in a Day' posts on Instagram
- What encourages Sam to do what she is doing for her clients
and so much more…!
