Medic On The Mic
Medic on the Mic is where raw conversations meet real-world experience.
Hosted by Brandon Heggie — firefighter, paramedic, EMS educator, and functional medicine health coach — this podcast goes beyond the sirens and scrubs. It’s a space for stories, strategies, and unfiltered dialogue on what it means to live a life of service, resilience, and personal growth.
Whether you’re on shift, off-duty, or outside the profession entirely, these episodes dive deep into:
- Mental health & burnout recovery
- Functional medicine & holistic self-care
- Leadership lessons from the field
- Relationships, family, and navigating the human side of high-stress work
- Real conversations with real people doing hard things
This isn’t just a podcast for medics — it’s for anyone who’s been called to serve and is now learning how to serve themselves too.
