🐾 A Dog a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Want better health? Get a dog.
Science backs what athletes and adventurers have long known — dogs make us stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

Studies show that dog ownership:

  • Slows cognitive decline
  • Boosts brain activity
  • Reduces cortisol (stress)
  • Raises oxytocin (connection + recovery)
  • Improves teamwork + emotional awareness
  • Increases physical activity + lowers doctor visits

Strong Brain. Happy Heart. Better Recovery.

At RISE, we train for life — and sometimes that includes a four-legged partner.
Sonja Stilp, M.D., board-certified and fellowship-trained in regenerative medicine and human performance, lives what she teaches. She’s a mountain athlete, physician, and proud dog mom to Zeus, a rowdy, spirited German Shepherd in training with the elite NePoPo® system.

Whether it’s on the trail, in the clinic, or during recovery — dogs bring energy, connection, and movement to everyday life.
