Hi everyone, I’m Yonatan from Israel. I run a small automation business and build AI reception and workflow systems for small businesses. I joined because I’m researching the real operational pressure veterinary teams face, especially the interruptions around phone calls, appointment requests, urgent callbacks, and after-hours messages. I don’t work in veterinary medicine, so I’m here to listen rather than assume I already understand the workflow. The area I most want to understand is this: which repetitive front-desk task creates the most stress during a busy shift? I’d genuinely appreciate your perspective, and I’m happy to share anything useful I learn with the group.

Have you tried this approach? BTN = Better Than Nothing. No time for the full workout? Do 10 minutes. Lunch disappeared? Grab the protein-forward snack. No time for a real reset? Take 60 seconds. The goal is not to lower the standard. It is to have a version of the plan that still works when the day goes sideways. Thursday’s edition of The Durable Vet Brief is all about BTN—and why your backup plan still counts. Join the Brief here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/99XcMXy/thedurablevetstarter

Most veterinary professionals don't need more wellness. They need more capacity. That's why people hire me. Not because they want to lose 15 pounds. Not because they want a better workout plan. Not because they need another nutrition PDF. They come to me because they want to become strong enough for the job. Here's what that looks like: • Having enough energy to finish a 12-hour shift and still have something left for your family. • Eliminating the neck, back, wrist, and shoulder pain that has become "part of the job." • Building the physical and mental capacity to thrive through years of practice—not just survive each week. I've spent three decades helping people build healthier, more durable bodies. Today, I focus that experience on veterinary professionals because this profession deserves more than just wellness initiatives. It deserves a system for building durability. I work with a small number of veterinary professionals each year in a high-touch coaching program where we build that system together—covering movement, strength, nutrition, recovery, stress resilience, and sustainable habits that fit the realities of veterinary medicine. This isn't about becoming an athlete. It's about becoming a veterinary professional who has the capacity to do exceptional work—for a long time. If you've been following my content and wondering what working together actually looks like, send me a DM or leave a comment below. I'll tell you exactly how the coaching works and whether it's a good fit. No pressure. No hard sell. If I don't think coaching is the right next step, I'll point you in a better direction.
