In this episode of 'God Took Me to Las Vegas', host Randy Mortensen sits down with Dr. Mary Burmeister, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, fitness coach, and former collegiate athlete who has recently celebrated three years of sobriety.

She shares candidly about her struggles with alcohol, which began at the tender age of 17 in a small town in Iowa.
Her story is filled with resilience, transformation, and a mission to help others find their path to sobriety.

Her current mission involves helping women over 30, especially former athletes, build sustainable fitness and wellness routines. This episode is packed with heartfelt advice and practical tips for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Dr.
