| "Am I Really Hungry?" A Guide for Physicians | 11 Nov 2025 | 00:44:54 | |
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.

| Problem-Solve Your Way to Food Freedom | 03 Nov 2025 | 00:23:50 | |
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.

| The Self-Care Paradox: Why Physicians Skip What They Know Would Help | 16 Jun 2025 | 00:27:15 | |
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.

| Amplify Your Strengths in Your Weight Journey | 12 Jun 2023 | 00:21:00 | |

| Top 3 Reasons it is Hard to Lose Weight As A Physician (and what to do about them) | 05 Jun 2023 | 00:30:54 | |
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) Remember to follow or subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode! ******* For a limited time you can schedule a complimentary consult with me.

| Monday Mornings Without the Guilt Trip | 09 Jun 2025 | 00:34:38 | |
Ugh, another Monday morning promising yourself "this week will be different"?
Yeah, I've been there too. That whole song and dance where you beat yourself up about all the stuff you ate this weekend and swear you'll be "good" this week.
Here's the thing - that approach is keeping you stuck. And it's not because you suck at willpower. It's because the whole process is messed up.
In this episode, I'm breaking down why that Monday morning shame spiral doesn't work and what to do instead. Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with meal prep or trying harder.
I'll show you how to stop being mean to yourself, why eating more (not less) actually works better, and simple tricks that fit into your real life (no matter how hectic it is). No extra time needed.
Perfect for any woman physician who's tired of feeling like she's always starting over and ready to quit the Monday morning guilt party.

| When You Just Can't Stop Eating | 03 Apr 2023 | 00:24:59 | |

What the frick gives??? 🤔 In this episode, I am sharing why this out of control eating happens and how it has way less to do with food than you think.

| From Binge Eating to Weight Loss: A Physician's Guide | 12 May 2025 | 00:28:26 | |
Think losing weight will fix your binge eating? Think again. In this myth-busting episode, I explain why trying to diet your way out of binge eating actually makes the problem worse, not better. I break down the binge-restrict cycle that keeps so many physicians trapped, and why traditional weight loss approaches intensify this cycle rather than stopping it. You'll learn why you need to stabilize your eating FIRST (for 3-6 months) before addressing weight, and how restriction comes from your thoughts about food, not the food itself. Most importantly, I outline a clear path forward that honors both your health goals AND your relationship with food. You'll discover how to make small, consistent changes that don't trigger binges, and why destabilized eating is important information, not failure. Perfect for any physician who's tired of bouncing between rigid diets and out-of-control binges. There IS a way forward - just not in the order you might think.

Flash forward quite a few years and eating low carb feels completely normal and natural to me. Making low carb choices at restaurants or when I have to cook a quick dinner is no big deal. In this episode, I am sharing my practical tips learned after years of low carb eating as a physician. **** Learn more at www.thrivephysicians.ca **** **** **** *** *** Share a podcast post on your social media with #thrivingphysicianpodcast or tag a friend one one of our recent posts to enter the podcast giveaway.

| Managing Post-Pandemic Burnout: Interview with Dr. Weissman | 26 Sep 2022 | 00:41:15 | |
So many physicians I have been talking to are feeling burnt out and crispy around the edges. Living through a pandemic is hard. Working in a system that is under significant strain due to the pandemic is hard. I had a fantastic conversation about post-pandemic burnout with Dr. Errin Weismann (From Burnt Out to Badass) this week. We shared a lot of practical strategies to start getting your feet under you and recovering from burnout. And we shared tips about preventing burnout in the first place. Listen to this episode whether you are feeling crispy around the edges or just want to prevent burnout and live your best life. ******************** Canada: 1-833-456-4566 USA: 1-800-273-8255 **** Thrive Academy for Physicians is the 6 month physician only program that will help you say "buh-bye" to diet culture in your life and reach your goals faster while thriving in your life.

| Eating in Secret: Why it happens, how to regain control | 05 May 2025 | 00:32:52 | |
Ever thrown away fast food wrappers before getting home so no one would see them? You're not alone. In this episode, I dive into why so many physicians eat in secret and what it REALLY means (spoiler: it's not about willpower or the food itself). I share my own journey with drive-thru French fries and the shame that made me hide the evidence, plus the breakthrough realization that changed everything. This isn't about "a food problem" - it's about unmet needs your brain is trying to fulfill. Perfect for any physician who's ever felt out of control with food, hidden wrappers, or eaten in their car to avoid judgment. You'll walk away with practical steps to break free from secret eating and the shame that drives it. Listen today!
