212 The Fascinating World of Anatomy and Cadavers

The Body Nerd Show

I’ve always been fascinated by the human body, how it works, and more importantly, what happens when it doesn’t.

So when I had the opportunity to step back into the anatomy lab after college, I was beyond excited. And to be honest, those 6 days forever transformed how I approach mobility and think about the human body.

In this week’s episode, we’re covering all things anatomy - from my anatomy lab experience to the fascinating world of cadavers, including their use in everything from education to research.

So whether you’re an anatomy nerd, body nerd, or just think the human body is cool - today’s episode is for you!

You’ll learn:

• The history of cadavers and anatomical studies
• How cadavers help us learn about the human body (beyond just medical training)
• And my experience in the anatomy lab
