Hello! Welcome to The Cooldown with Dr. KLev! I am Dr. Kim Leverett, a pharmacist and personal trainer with a passion for health, wellness, and helping others live their healthiest life. First, let me tell you a little about me:
I graduated from pharmacy school in 1992 from Xavier University College of Pharmacy. And boy, I had a blast in New Orleans. After graduation, I practiced community pharmacy for 25 years.
In community pharmacy, I saw patient after patient come into the pharmacy to pick up medications for preventable diseases. I knew that with targeted lifestyle changes, my patients could live healthier lives and, in some cases, could get off some of the medications they were taking.
This continued to feed into my passion for helping people live their healthiest and best lives. I have always valued physical fitness and remained physically fit and active all my life. I was confident that I could help others to do the same. In 2011, I stepped out on faith and opened A Kick Above Personal Training Studio. Because of client growth, we opened a new, expanded facility in 2019. The additional space and state of the art equipment allows us to increase our capacity to serve more people within our community.
This new weekly show, The Cool Down with Dr. KLev, is my way of incorporating my passions – personal training and the practice of pharmacy, both are important factors in promoting overall health and wellness.
