This is Treated, a new podcast with Dr. Sara Szal (formerly Gottfried): Real talk. Real science. Real solutions. Each week you will leave with the tools you need to heal your mind, body, and soul so you can take your health into your own hands. Most people are trying to optimize, it’s in our nature. But we can’t “to-do-list” our way out of taking care of ourselves. This means health needs a perspective shift. On Treated, Dr. Sara Szal sits down with experts in their fields and patients who have found holistic solutions to their health questions and created lasting transformation.

Model-turned-nutritionist Sarah Ann Macklin joins Treated for an intimate, raw, and deeply insightful conversation about stress, burnout, and the missing piece in our health: self-compassion. After years in the high-pressure world of modeling, Sarah found herself in the ICU—her body shutting down from extreme stress, malnutrition, and disconnection from herself. What followed was a decade-long journey of healing, studying nutrition, and uncovering the role of cortisol, self-kindness, and emotional health in true well-being.
In this episode, we explore:
- How stress impacts your body and why “clean eating” isn’t enough
- The science of compassion and how it rewires your brain and metabolism
- Why burnout happens long before we realize it—and how to reverse it
- Blue Mind Theory: How water, nature & nervous system resets transform stress
- A simple exercise to track self-critical thoughts and shift towards self-kindness
- Sarah also shares her upcoming book, The Compassion Cure, and why tracking your negative thoughts is as important as tracking your macros. If you’ve ever struggled with stress, burnout, or feeling “not enough,” this episode will change the way you approach your health.
