Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In today's episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Judy Wright—family physician, wellness and performance strategist, and passionate advocate for clinician well-being. Dr. Wright shares her own journey through various sectors of medicine, from community health and academia to the insurance industry and corrections, highlighting the personal costs, challenges, and ultimate evolution of her approach to sustainable practice. Listen as Dr. Wright opens up about the pressures of double-booked schedules, late nights spent charting, and the emotional load that follows physicians out of the clinic. She discusses pivotal moments when she realized the need for boundaries, respect, and realism in her work environment, and how major life changes—like becoming a parent—helped her reframe her priorities. Dr. Wright offers candid advice for clinicians who feel overwhelmed, sharing practical insights on setting boundaries, advocating for personal needs, and creating those vital pauses during the clinical day. Whether you're struggling with burnout, searching for ways to make your career more sustainable, or simply want to hear an inspiring story of transformation, this episode is packed with wisdom you won't want to miss. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Real-Time Documentation is a Game-Changer: Dr. Wright reflected on her early practice of writing notes after hours, leading to burnout and late nights. Switching to real-time documentation (even with patients waiting a bit longer) was transformative, allowing her to finish on time and reclaim personal time. Advocacy Matters—Both for Patients and Yourself: Whether she was fighting for patient care in a health insurance setting or setting boundaries with administration about workload and safety, Dr. Wright emphasized the importance of clear, respectful communication and realistic expectations in clinical practice. Your Pause is Essential (Not Optional): Dr. Wright's mantra: “No one is going to give you your pause—you need to create it.” Intentional breaks and boundary-setting aren't just self-care—they're vital for sustainability and preventing burnout. Dr. Judy Wright Bio: Dr. Judy Wright is a practicing Medical Director, international speaker, and wellness strategist who helps healthcare professionals build sustainable careers without sacrificing their wellbeing. Following her own cancer diagnosis that forced her to confront burnout, Dr. Wright developed practical frameworks that transform how medical professionals approach self-care and stress management. Drawing from over 20 years of experience in healthcare, she created the Life Balance Blueprint™ methodology, which has been implemented by physicians and nurses across multiple hospital systems. Her signature "pause breaks" approach teaches medical professionals how to integrate micro-recovery moments into even the most demanding clinical environments. Dr. Wright has presented her evidence-based strategies at the American Academy of Family Physicians and numerous healthcare institutions. As founder of JW Health Consulting, she partners with hospitals and healthcare organizations to create cultures where medical professionals can thrive. Her mission is simple but powerful: healthcare can only deliver exceptional patient care when providers themselves are well. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Episode 189: Intermittent Fasting (Religious and Sports)Future Doctors Carlisle and Kim give recommendations about patients who are fasting for religious reasons, such as Ramadan. They also explain the benefits and risks of fasting for athletes and also debunked some myths about fasting. Dr. Arreaza add input about the side effects of fasting and ways to address them.    Written by Cameron Carlisle, MSIV (RUSM) and Kyung Kim, MSIV (AUC). Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction: In the last episode on fasting (#179), we explored how intermittent fasting (IF) can help manage type 2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity, promoting weight loss, and lowering inflammation. We discussed the benefits of methods like 16:8 time-restricted eating and the 5:2 meal plan, and even compared IF to medications like metformin. Today, we're bringing that science into real life. We'll talk about how people fast for religious reasons, like during Ramadan, how athletes use IF to stay in shape, and how we can use IF as a tool in family medicine to support community health and A1c control.Intermittent Fasting in Religious PracticeRamadan just ended on 3/30/25, but this is a great time to talk about the broader role of fasting in religion and health. Many faiths incorporate fasting into spiritual practice and understanding this can help us better support our patients.Islam (Ramadan): Ramadan is a month where Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, focusing on spiritual reflection and self-control. No food or drink is consumed during daylight hours. Despite this, studies have shown that with good planning, fasting during Ramadan does not significantly impair physical performance or metabolic health.Key health tips for patients observing Ramadan:Hydrate well between iftar (sunset) and suhoor (pre-dawn).Break the fast with dates and water to gently replenish energy and electrolytes.Eat balanced meals with complex carbs, protein, and healthy fatsAvoid greasy, heavy foods right after fastingLight exercise (such as a walk) after iftar is beneficialReview medications with a healthcare provider, especially for those on insulin or sulfonylureas.For example: Metformin should be taken when you break your fast and then again before dawn. If its an extended-release metformin, take it at night. Metformin does not cause significant hypoglycemia and can be continued during Ramadan. Basal insulin is advised to be given at Iftar, and the dose should be reduced by 25-35% if the patient is not well managed. And regarding the fast-acting insulin, it requires a little more reading, so you can look it up and learn about it. Judaism: In Judaism, fasting is practiced on days like Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av, typically lasting 25 hours without food or water. These fasts are spiritual and reflective, and patients with medical conditions may seek guidance on how to participate safely.Christianity: Many Christians fast during Lent, either by abstaining from certain foods or limiting meal frequency. Some practice partial-day fasts or water-only fasts for spiritual renewal.A branch of Christianity known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saintsoften observe a 24-hour fast on the first Sunday of each month, known as Fast Sunday, where they abstain from food and drink and donate the cost of meals to charity. This practice is both spiritual and communal.Cameron: Fasting for religious reasons, when done safely, can align with IF protocols and be culturally sensitive for diverse patients in family medicine.IF in Athletes and PerformanceIntermittent fasting is gaining popularity in the sports world. Athletes are using IF to improve body composition, increase fat oxidation, and enhance metabolic flexibility. A recent study, known as the DRIFT trial and published in Annals of Internal Medicine, found that fasting three non-consecutive days a week led to more weight loss than daily calorie restriction. Participants lost an average of 6.37 pounds more over 12 months.Why? Better adherence. People found the 3-day fasting schedule easier to stick to than counting calories every day.Benefits of IF for athletes:Encourages fat burning (via AMPK activation and GLUT4 upregulation, listen to ep. 179).Helps maintain lean muscle while reducing fat.No major drop in performance when meals and workouts are timed properly.What are some practical tips?Schedule workouts during or just before eating windows.Eat protein-rich meals post-workout.Avoid intense training during long fasts unless adapted.Stay hydrated, especially in hot environments or endurance sports.Broader Applications and Myths Around IFHormonal Effects of IF: In addition to improving insulin sensitivity, IF also affects hormones such as ghrelin (which stimulates hunger, remember it as growling) and leptin (which signals fullness). Over time, IF may help the body regulate appetite better and reduce cravings. IF can also decrease morning cortisol levels, the stress hormone. That's why it's important to monitor sleep, hydration, and stress levels when recommending IF.Circadian Rhythm Alignment: Emerging research shows that aligning eating times with natural light/dark cycles—eating during the day and fasting at night—can improve metabolic outcomes. This practice, known as early time-restricted eating (eTRE), has been shown to lower blood glucose, reduce insulin levels, and improve energy use. Patients who eat earlier in the day tend to have better results than those who eat late at night.Myths and Clarifications on IF:-“Fasting slows metabolism” In fact, short-term fasting may boost metabolism slightly due to increased norepinephrine. -“You can't exercise while fasting.” Many people can safely train during fasted states, especially for moderate cardio or strength training. -“Skipping breakfast is bad.” For some, skipping breakfast is a useful IF strategy—as long as total nutrition is maintained. You can break your fast at 2:00 pm, it does have to be at 7:00 AM.What to Eat When Breaking a FastBreaking a fast properly is just as important as fasting itself. Whether it's after a Ramadan fast or a 16-hour fast, the goal is to replenish energy gently and restore nutrients.Ideal foods to break a fast:Dates and water: provide quick energy, potassium, and fiberSoups: lentil or broth-based soups are gentle on digestionComplex carbs: whole grains like brown rice or oatsLean proteins: chicken, fish, eggs, legumesFruits and vegetables: hydrate and provide fiberHealthy fats: nuts, avocado, olive oilProbiotics: yogurt or kefir for gut supportBalanced meals with carbs, protein, and healthy fats help the body transition smoothly back to a fed state.Using IF in Family Medicine and Community HealthIntermittent fasting can be a practical, cost-effective strategy in family medicine. In areas with high rates of obesity and diabetes, like Kern County, IF offers a lifestyle-based tool to improve metabolic health, especially in underserved populations. IF is free!How IF can help in family medicine:Lower A1c levels: improves insulin sensitivity and glucose controlPromote weight loss: decreases insulin resistance and inflammationReduce medication dependence: fewer meds needed over time for some patientsEncourage patient engagement: flexible and easier to follow than strict calorie countingFit diverse lifestyles: aligns with religious and cultural practicesAddress food insecurity: structured eating windows can help patients stretch limited food resourcesHow to apply IF in clinic:Start the conversation by asking if the patient has heard of IFRecommend simple starting points: 12:12 or 14:10Emphasize hydration and nutrient-dense mealsMonitor labs and symptoms, especially in diabetic patientsAdjust medications to avoid hypoglycemiaProvide follow-up and patient education handouts if possibleWhat if a patient isn't ready to try fasting?For those not ready to commit to intermittent fasting, one effective alternative is walking after meals. A simple 10–20 minute walk post-meal can help stimulate GLUT4 receptors in skeletal muscle, promoting glucose uptake independent of insulin. This reduces the demand on pancreatic beta cells and may help improve blood sugar control over time. This strategy is particularly useful for patients with insulin resistance or early-stage type 2 diabetes.Conclusion: Intermittent fasting is not one-size-fits-all, but it can be a powerful tool for both individual and community health. From Ramadan to race day, IF has a place in family medicine when used thoughtfully. Encourage patients to work with their healthcare providers to find an approach that fits their lifestyle, medical needs, and personal values. IF is a cost-effective toolEven without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Presented by Adrian N. Billings, MD, PhD; Texas Tech UniversitySTFM Conference on Medical Student Education 2025 Scott Fields Lecture | Sunday, February 2 2025In the evolving landscape of American health care, the call to practice and serve in rural communities offers a profound and transformative opportunity for clinicians. This presentation delves into the powerful concept of accompaniment—an approach where physicians not only deliver care but also actively engage with and support their patients and communities. For medical students aspiring to a career marked by meaningful impact, the rural setting offers a unique and inspiring canvas. Rural areas often face significant health care disparities, including limited access to medical resources and specialized care. This context demands a new kind of medical professional — one who is not only skilled in clinical practice but also deeply committed to community engagement and advocacy. The role of accompaniment involves more than just treating illness; it requires a holistic approach to patient care, emphasizing empathy, education, and empowerment.Through accompaniment, physicians forge strong relationships with patients, understanding their unique challenges and needs. This model of care fosters trust and collaboration, leading to more effective and personalized treatment strategies. Additionally, it empowers healthcare professionals to become advocates for systemic changes that address the root causes of health inequities. Embracing a career in rural medicine through the lens of accompaniment offers a pathway to profound professional fulfillment and societal impact. Accompaniment aligns medical practice with the broader goals of social justice and health equity. For aspiring physicians, this approach not only enhances our clinical skills but also instills a deep sense of purpose and connection to the communities we serve. A call to service through accompaniment emerges as a beacon of hope and inspiration, guiding future medical leaders toward a more compassionate and equitable future.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Describe causes and consequences of rural health disparities.Justify the practice of medicine outside the walls of a health care facility to combat social determinants of health.Value the concept of accompaniment as it relates to a career of service in medicine.Copyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2025Adrian N.

1.35 million applicants received a military entrance physical from 2016 to 2020, and about 15% of them received an initial disqualification. More than half of these disqualified applicants sought a waiver, and they were more likely than not to get approved. This whole system can be frustrating and opaque, so in this episode we dive into the medical standards and waiver process with a guest who was deeply involved. Dr. Christopher D. Meyering is a board-certified Primary Care Sports Medicine physician. He attended medical school at the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, Midwestern University and subsequently completed his Family Medicine internship and residency training at DeWitt Army Community Hospital at Fort Belvoir, VA. Following a 2-year assignment in Germany, he completed a Sports Medicine Fellowship at the Tri-Service Primary Care Fellowship at Fort Belvoir, VA. He is certified by the American Board of Family Physicians with a Certificate of Added Qualification in Sports Medicine, and he is a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians. Dr. Meyering retired from the U.S. Army after 21 years of Service which included 3 combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan as a Battalion Surgeon for Infantry, Armor, and Field Artillery units. Several key positions during his career were assignments as the Command Surgeon for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command which oversees all recruiting and training for the entire U.S. Army; the Command Surgeon for the U.S. Army Recruiting Command which made him the medical waiver authority for the Army; and the Division Surgeon for the 1st Cavalry Division. Dr. Meyering was the Chief Medical Officer for the 2022 and 2024 DoD Warrior Games held in Orlando, FL. Additionally he was the co-medical lead for the 2021 Invictus Games held in The Hague, The Netherlands and for the 2023 Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany. He is currently the Chief Medical Officer for all upcoming DoD Warrior Games and is the Medical Lead for Team U.S. at the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada. He is the author of multiple peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and published abstracts, and he has presented at international and national conferences and events. He was previously the assistant team physician for George Mason University and covered all collegiate sports. He volunteered medical services at multiple levels and events to include the Marine Corps marathon, the Army 10 miler, the Augusta Half Iron Man Triathlon, All Army Wheelchair basketball, USA National and Golden Gloves Boxing events, Army combatives tournaments, professional fast pitch softball, and Special Olympics.

(11:30) Are peanut butter and quinoa NSNG®? Fuck Quinoa. Peanut butter is not the best butter. Cashew and almond butter are better. Peanut is a little higher in carbs and can be inflammatory for some people. Any nut butter should be eaten in moderation. What about diet soft drinks? Diet soft drinks with chemicals are treated by your body just like sugar. Artificial sugar is just as bad as real sugar. La Croix is okay; (soda) water with some fresh lemon or lime, muddled berries, or a splash of grapefruit juice is better. Check out Anna's websites for recipes!

Controlling Hunger Dr. Cate is a board-certified Family Physician and is a nutritional consultant for the LA Lakers. Dr. Cate's website is () She helps those with metabolic syndrome to get their metabolism up and running better. Seed oils, like canola oil, are damaging to your metabolism. (48:00) The process of manufacturing the oils makes them toxic (create oxidative stress). Cate believes low-carb diets are very beneficial, especially for controlling hunger. Try to avoid empty calories, but don't worry about calorie counting. Avoid rapid carb drop-off if you have thyroid problems, etc. She believes in intermittent fasting in moderation IF AND ONLY IF it works for you. (54:00) The concern with some fasting methods is people may create more problems and disordered eating for themselves. It's best to do fasting in moderation or work with a knowledgeable doctor if you have a lot to lose. People are frequently hungry because their metabolisms are damaged by bad diets and lifestyles. Pituitary inflammation can make you hungry. Anna has specific questions about fasting blood sugar and cortisol. (1:05:00). Cate defines “bad fats” vs. natural fats.

Angela revisits her conversation with Dr. Cate Shanahan, wherein she discusses her book "Dark Calories" and the misconceptions surrounding cholesterol, heart health, and the impact of vegetable oils on the body. Dr. Shanahan examines the role of oxidative stress as the root cause of various health issues and explains how vegetable oils contribute to this stress. She delves into the importance of understanding the chemistry behind nutrition, debunking myths about protein consumption, animal products, and the inflammatory effects of dairy KEY TAKEAWAYS Oxidative stress is the root cause of many health issues, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dementia. It is essential to focus on reducing oxidative stress by avoiding vegetable oils and consuming foods rich in antioxidants. Dr. Shanahan highlights the harmful effects of vegetable oils, particularly seed oils like corn, canola, cottonseed, soy, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, and grapeseed oil. These oils are highly processed, lack nutrition, and can deteriorate into toxins, promoting oxidative stress in the body. It’s vital to understand the link between cholesterol phobia and the rise of vegetable oils in the food supply. Animal protein does not cause oxidative stress and is essential for building blocks like amino acids needed for various bodily functions. A balanced intake of animal protein is beneficial and does not inherently lead to inflammation or oxidative stress. BEST MOMENTS "The root cause is this state of chemical imbalance called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is the thing that kills us all." "People get really, really confused that they don't seem to have a higher protein diet, that it was kind of occasional and this idea that ancestrally we wouldn't have had access and we would have been foraging and occasionally we would have killed an animal." "The key mistake in what has been envisioned so far is they've decided that LDL particles are just bad and that LDL should not be in our bloodstream." “Protein does not cause oxidative stress. Now, an imbalance might, like if we're eating so much protein that we don't get other nutrients."

She is standing up to the conflicted health authorities whose unwholesome nutrition advice is making the world sick. Her mission to end chronic disease started in 2002, when she discovered that we’ve all been misled about saturated fat and cholesterol, and began building on the discoveries of experts whose work is being ignored or actively silenced. Her bestselling books have informed a generation of health influencers about the damaging effects of a collection of 8 common seed oils (The Hateful 8) that are the single worst ingredient in the food supply, and the benefits of bone broth, organ meats, fermented foods, and other ancestral health principles. Besides regularly appearing in and writing for national media, she has also worked as director for the Los Angeles Lakers PRO Nutrition program, and currently runs a telehealth practice.

Dr. Alison Yeung, a Family Physician from Ontario, Canada, has noticed a growing number of teen mental health-related visits over the past decade. With kids spending increasing amounts of time on devices, especially on social media, YouTube, and video games, she began research on the topic.
