In this episode of Live Free Ride Free, Rupert Isaacson sits down with Dr. Kane to trace her journey through medicine, sports science, corporate Silicon Valley, parapsychology, and ultimately to horses—where she bridges science and spirituality.\n\nBeverley shares how her early activism during the Vietnam War led her into medicine, what she learned working in preventive health and AI at Apple and WebMD, and why a kitchen accident opened the door to horses, play, and somatic healing. Today she teaches Qigong with horses at Stanford, guiding students and professionals into deeper connection, stress relief, and self-regulation through equanimity.\n\n✨ “Quantum physics is the physics of love and entanglement is about connection.” – Dr. Beverley Kane\n✨ “When I found therapeutic riding, for the first time it was just playful to be on horses.” – Dr. Beverley Kane\n\n🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:\nHitchhiking to California with $35 and starting anew ([00:01:00])\nDropping out of Columbia, activism, and rediscovering medicine ([00:03:00])\nMedical training at UCSF and mentorship from Nobel Prize winner Michael Bishop ([00:05:00])\nPracticing medicine in Alaska and discovering sports medicine ([00:07:00])\nStanford preventive medicine research and corporate health at Apple ([00:12:00])\nStories from Apple’s Great American Smokeout and early AI projects ([00:16:00])\nMoving into WebMD and the rise (and bust) of Silicon Valley dot-com culture ([00:21:00])\nDiscovering horses at age 52 after an accident and entering therapeutic riding ([00:27:00])\nFinding joy and play with horses through therapeutic riding ([00:34:00])\nBringing Medicine & Horsemanship programs to Stanford ([00:43:00])\nTeaching Qigong with horses and the Equanimity program ([00:50:00])\nQuantum...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/edefuo9BicUw7iv3tBYu0A0WPDz35rwksjCWzqzh4lQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQwOTg5LzE2ODIz/MzM0MzYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
