Meet Jennifer LeVine

We recently connected with Jennifer LeVine and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jennifer, so great to have you on the platform. There’s so much we want to ask you, but let’s start with the topic of self-care. Do you do anything for self-care and if so, do you think it’s had a meaningful impact on your effectiveness?

I have found that taking care of myself means that I am better at taking care of others in the long run. I do many things that can be considered self care, but the one thing that comes to my mind first is exercising. I find that moving my body, particularly running, allows me to connect my mind and body in a way like no other. I call it my form of meditation. After a long day, I look forward the most to changing, putting in my airpods and going for a run!
Physical activity and moving my body improves the way I feel in my body, and my body is the vessel that is going to bring my gifts and messages out into this world. I finished my first half marathon this year!

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I have been a physician assistant for 20 years helping people with various urological issues. I have seen firsthand that people turn to the internet when dealing with various health issues and physical symptoms. I think it is important to have reliable information that people can understand when searching the internet for various things.
I have founded Jennmed, an online company that provides education, support and community to those dealing with various urological issues. The fact that the internet has given me the opportunity to help someone anyone in the world who could use my assistance is a miracle!
My first product launch is for those people who have undergone prostate removal for prostate cancer. Throughout my career, I have found that surgery is curative but can also result in some secondary side effects like leaking urine and erectile dysfunction which can significantly affect a man emotionally and physically. That is where Jennmed and the various consulting services we offer can positively impact a man’s post operative experience.
I am looking to build a community also for those dealing with similar issues. When people can relate to others that have been through similar experiences can also support their experience in a positive way. All online!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

I now mentor potential PA students and residents and I always tell them don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you are unsure of something, ASK. No question is a stupid question because we are always learning and acquiring knowledge. The second quality that has been instrumental in my journey is mindset and self confidence. I have learned that confidence comes with experience. I walk into a room and speak with a patient differently now than I did when I first started practicing. I do think though that sometimes you have to act confident before you truly are. The more times you do something successfully, then the less scary it will become the next time you do it. The last quality that I think that has been most impactful in my journey is my resilience despite external circumstances. I am someone who has always brought my very best to the table personally and professionally. When you truly know your value and worth– you show up differently in the world.. It’s a beautiful thing.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

I am looking for experts in the field or Urology to speak with and collaborate with. There are so many issues in Urology—and I would like to use other’s knowledge to facilitate the education aspect of Jennmed.
I truly believe that Jennmed is going to be a global company where people go to first when dealing with various urological issues and the experts in Urology will be pivotal to get this information across effectively online. I am looking to create that!
