Thriving As A Physician: How to Lose Weight & Love Your Life – Details, episodes & analysis

You're standing in front of the break room donuts at 2pm wondering: Am I actually hungry? Or have I already eaten too much? Should I eat this? What if I'm eating when I'm not really hungry?

If you've ever questioned whether you're "really" hungry, this episode is for you.

Diet culture taught us to stop trusting ourselves. Eat less, less, less. And medical training taught us to ignore our bodies - skip meals, hold our bladders, function alert on no sleep. No wonder you're second-guessing every hunger signal.

In this episode, I break down what physical hunger actually feels like versus other common types of eating I see with physicians. I explain why post-call hunger hits different (hello, increased ghrelin, decreased leptin, and impaired frontal lobe). 

And I give you specific strategies for each type of eating so you can actually do something about it.

This episode is perfect for any physician who's tired of questioning every hunger signal and wants to start trusting herself again.

You keep doing the same thing with food over and over. And you can't figure out why.

Here's what's happening: there are hidden obstacles between you and healthy eating. You just can't see them yet. Because we're not trained to look for obstacles - we just blame ourselves instead.  And that's not fair.

In this episode, I teach you how to spot the hidden obstacles that keep tripping you up with food. I'll show you why forcing yourself doesn't work and give you the exact questions to ask so you can problem-solve instead of self-blame.

Perfect for you if you keep repeating the same eating patterns or you're exhausted from trying so hard without seeing results.

Ever notice how you know exactly what would make you feel better, but somehow never actually do it?

This episode tackles the self-care paradox that's messing with every physician I know. We're wired to respond to urgency, but self-care isn't urgent - so it gets pushed to "later" and later never comes.

I'll tell you why your medical training is working against you here, how to think about outcomes instead of tasks, and share my simple morning routine that creates spaciousness even on tough days.

Perfect for any physician who's tired of running on empty and ready to stop treating herself worse than her patients. Listen today and share with someone who may need this.

Physicians, Imagine waking up every morning focussing on the things that are going really well in your weight loss rather than keeping a running inventory of every place you've messed up.

Picture how different it would feel.

We spend too much time focussing on our perceived weaknesses and trying to improve them.

Your energy will be better spent looking for your strengths and amplifying them.

Listen to this episode to learn more about how to do this in your weight loss journey.

Let's ditch the belief that being a doctor automatically means you can easily shed pounds. This damaging notion is all too common in the medical community.

Our training teaches us valuable information, but it also instills habits that can make healthy choices harder to prioritize. It's frustrating to talk about wellness with patients all day, only to find yourself mindlessly eating chips on the couch.

If you've ever felt like a failure in your own health journey, hold up - it's not your fault. 

In this episode, I'll explain the real reasons why weight loss can be challenging for doctors (and what to do about them)

Physicians, Are you struggling with the idea of planning your food in advance? You're not alone. Between you and me..I lost most of my weight without planning my meals. And I still don't plan what I'm eating very often. 

The truth is, planning can be a powerful tool in your weight loss journey.  However, there is no "one right way" to lose weight. 

If you have a rebellious streak or feel overwhelmed by all the rules and restrictions, I have good news for you. You get to choose the methods and tools that work best for you.

In this episode, I share alternative methods to achieve your weight loss goals without having to plan your food. 

So if meal prepping and strict meal plans aren't your thing, this episode is for you!
