God Took Me to Las Vegas
My mission with the God Took Me to Las Vegas podcast is to save lives and allow the person to Reveal the Lifestyle Champion within them.There are many different types of recovery programs, they all are aimed at helping those battling substance use disorders to transition from being harmed to being clean and sober. Anyone who’s battling a compulsive or destructive behavior wants to be healthy and they desire to live a happy and productive life. Sadly, only 1 in 10 Americans with a substance use disorder receives treatment. Why?Because it’s not safe to come forward and admit your challenges. The stigma is fueling an American public health crisis and we need to “Crush the Stigma!”Substance use disorders are associated with discrimination and social disapproval – more than any medical condition. These same people are often isolated, outcast, and even imprisoned. Stigma isolates people, it discourages them from seeking help, and even leads some medical providers to resist delivering evidence-based treatment services.

Episode 242 - "From Rock Bottom to Empowerment: Dr. Mary Burmeister’s Sobriety Journey and Mission to Inspire"
In this episode, we are honored to host Dr. Mary Burmeister, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, fitness and empowerment coach, and former collegiate athlete who recently celebrated three years of sobriety.
Dr. Mary’s inspiring story is one of resilience, transformation, and empowerment. She opens up about her struggles with alcohol, which began at the age of 17 as a coping mechanism for insecurities and deep personal losses, including the death of her father and the challenges of a toxic marriage.
Dr. Mary shares her turning point—moments of emotional numbness during her sister's engagement and her grandfather’s funeral—that led her to confront her reality and commit to a life of sobriety. Her journey is a testament to the power of self-reflection and healing.
Today, Dr. Mary dedicates her life to empowering women over 30, especially former athletes, to break free from the cycles of burnout and rediscover their inner strength. Through holistic fitness coaching, practical strategies, and her Fearless Focus Guide, she helps women transform their bodies, minds, and lives.
Join us as we dive into Dr. Mary’s incredible story of finding purpose in adversity and learn how she inspires others to embrace their journey, one step at a time
