What I Do

Burnout isn't a willpower problem.

It's a nervous system problem. The work goes deeper than productivity hacks.

Nervous System Healing

From survival mode to sustainable energy — without white-knuckling your way there.

High Performance

Elite-level output — without burning yourself down to get there.

AI Intelligent Systems

Technology as leverage, not noise. Use AI as a strategic advantage, not a distraction.

Feminine Leadership

Authority that doesn't cost you yourself.

About Leah

She's been where you are.

Dr. Leah Katz is a physician, researcher, NPC athlete, wife, mother to one daughter (Liv!), stepmother to six children, podcast host, and high-performance coach.

After losing her mother at age 11, she developed the resilience, ambition, and relentless drive that fueled a successful medical career, but also the perfectionism, burnout, and self-sacrifice that many high achievers quietly carry. As she navigated medicine, leadership, athletics, marriage, and raising a blended family, she came to understand that external success means little without internal alignment.

Her own transformation was shaped through coaching, podcasting, and years of personal development. Inspired by the profound impact this work had on her life, she helped develop a physician coaching program at Columbia University, and now combines neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and AI to help ambitious professionals build lives that are as fulfilling as they are successful.

Dr. Katz has a particular passion for working with high performers who have experienced adverse childhood experiences and now find themselves driven by an inability to slow down. She helps clients understand how their past has shaped their present so they can transcend the narrative of survival.

Through LivWell Coaching, inspired by her daughter, Liv, she is on a mission to redefine what high performance looks like: achieving without sacrificing living; leading, thriving, and enjoying your life in a way that is deeply aligned with who you are.
