Today, we have the second episode of a two-part mashup series focused on weight-loss resistance.  For today's episode, I am delighted to welcome experts Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, and Physician's Assistant McCall McPherson.  Dr. Haver and I explore how inflammation drives weight gain and unpack specific strategies for macronutrients, meal timing, and more. Dr. Salas-Whalen and I examine body composition changes during perimenopause and menopause, our family responsibilities, the importance of strength training for maintaining muscle mass, and the targeted use of GLP-1 agonist drugs. Finally, McCall and I break down the labs that help guide decision-making, also discussing informed consent, the effects of hormonal replenishment therapy (now known as personalized endocrine treatment), the strategic use of GLP-1s, personalized dosages, and microdosing. This mashup includes many timely and relevant insights from three experts at the forefront of women's health. Join us as we explore the science, strategies, and solutions shaping the future of weight loss resistance.

This week, we share advances in treatment for EGFR-mutated lung cancer, a brain-penetrant enzyme therapy for a rare pediatric disorder, and dual targeting of extramedullary myeloma. We review cardiogenic shock, work through a challenging diagnostic puzzle in a young woman with recurrent illness, and explore Perspectives on corporatized care, vaccine policy, AI in medicine, and where clinicians carry grief.

Running a medical practice today means navigating complex operational, business, and legal challenges. In this season opener, hosts Brad and Michael share the story of a California physician who thought firing a toxic practice manager at his longevity clinic would be simple—until it was not. What began as a routine staffing decision quickly uncovered employees misclassified as independent contractors, blurred ownership language, and personal relationships complicating business operations. Learn the small missteps, like misclassifying employees or casually using the term “partner”, that can lead to serious legal and financial consequences, and what you can do to prevent them.  Chapters00:00 Intro01:47 Banter05:47 Story07:50 Access+18:29 Legal Takeaways30:03 OutroWatch full episodes of our podcast on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@byrdadatto Stay connected for the latest business and health care legal updates:Website FacebookInstagramLinkedIn  

Hey Doc,It's Ole Year's Day, as we say in Trinidad! And whether you call it Ole Year's Day or New Year's Eve, the energy's the same: reflect, reset, repeat.Before you close the book on the year — or let your mind spiral on all the things that didn't happen — I want you to do one thing (well, two):Remember what did.Pause on that instinct to scroll through everything that didn't happen.This isn't the moment to self-diagnose your shortcomings.It's the moment to recognize what went well this year — even if it was messy, inconsistent, or only happened once.You're here. You kept showing up. And maybe you even got a full night's sleep once or twice.That counts.

In Part 1, he delivers a no-hype 2025 retrospective: the biggest wins (cash/hybrid models, content as infrastructure, smarter investing), the brutal flops (commodity telehealth, passive income myths, unused AI tools), and the quiet trends most doctors missed entirely. 2025 stripped away the illusions for physician entrepreneurs. While some chased shiny objects and got burned, others built real leverage, freedom, and wealth. In this raw year-in-review, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming shares exactly what crushed it, what crashed hard, and the under-the-radar shifts that separated the thriving doctors from the overwhelmed ones. No fluff, just the real lessons from coaching hundreds of physicians through the year's chaos.   Top 3 Actionable Takeaways  Own the patient relationship with niche cash/hybrid models: Stop competing on price in commoditized markets. Build a practice where you choose patients, control scheduling, and have pricing power, whether full cash, membership, or strategic hybrid. Micro-niches like executive perimenopause, endurance athletes, beat generic telehealth every time in 2025. Treat content as infrastructure, not marketing:  One consistent long-form platform (podcast, YouTube, newsletter) compounds trust and authority faster than rented social algorithms. Patients who consume 10+ episodes arrive pre-sold, not price-shopping. Start owning your distribution now, consistency beats perfection. Go deep on fewer bets instead of wide and scattered: Spreading across 10 mediocre ventures creates overwhelm with no leverage. The 2025 winners picked 1–2 interconnected things (niche practice, community, content and membership) and mastered them. Depth creates moats; breadth creates burnout.   About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures. Hosted by Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, a successful physician, entrepreneur, and investor, the show delivers actionable insights on starting businesses, creating passive income, and navigating healthcare entrepreneurship.

With two decades of helping clients—including many doctors—McCubbin explains how our hunter-gatherer instincts and sentimental attachments fuel a $10 billion storage industry. She addresses Dr. Block's paper-hoarding habits, the outdated textbooks in his office, and the challenge of managing kids' toys, offering insights on separating decluttering, organizing, and cleaning. This episode equips physicians with tools to break free from clutter paralysis and foster independence in their families. Three Actionable Takeaways:Separate decluttering, organizing, and cleaning: Declutter first. Ask: Do I need, like, or use it? Toss sentimental "might-need-it-someday" papers unless reading immediately. Then organize. Where does it live so I can find it fast?. Clean last. Physicians: Ditch printed articles or outdated textbooks, bookmark digitally; info doesn't vanish and evolves quickly.Personalize systems to your brain: Match organization to how you process e.g., chronological vs. categories. For doctors' "paper people" habits, use bookmark folders over prints. At home/office, ensure stuff supports goals: rest, work, family, not blocks them. Habits like "keys in bowl" prevent morning chaos, especially for neurospicy/ADHD brains.Curb kid/family clutter at the source: Rotate toys monthly to spark imagination, fewer toys, more play, per child development. Parents and grandparents: Skip guilt buys; teach cleanup for independence ("Know where army guys are? Grab 'em yourself!"). Couples: If space allows. Prioritize shared goals over perfection. Turn old ones into quilts if needed.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Tracy McCubbin is the CEO and founder of dClutter Fly, one of America's top decluttering companies, where she has helped thousands of clients, including physicians, clear clutter over the past 20 years. She is the author of Making Space Clutter-Free and her latest book, Make Space for Happiness. Recently, she transformed dClutter Fly into a franchise, empowering others to join her mission. Known for her practical and empathetic approach, McCubbin addresses the emotional and psychological barriers to decluttering, offering solutions tailored to busy professionals.Website: https://dclutterfly.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracy_mccubbin/?hl=enYoutube: http://www.youtube.com/@tracy_mccubbin About the host:Dr. Bradley Block – Dr. Bradley Block is a board-certified otolaryngologist at ENT and Allergy Associates in Garden City, NY.

Send us a textWhat if your next big change wasn't executed on day one… but first asked as a simple question: “What would happen if we did this?” What if you stopped offering walk‑in appointments for two weeks, or changed your scheduling template entirely, or removed all paper forms—and saw what surfaced? That kind of question is the heart of a thought experiment—a structured “what if?” scenario that lets leadership explore change without diving straight into full implementation.In a sector like healthcare—where change is expensive, stakes are high, and risk is real—thought experiments give you a way to test assumptions, surface hidden risks, uncover unexpected opportunities, and engage your team in the future before you commit your budget, staff, or systems. At Health e Practices, we've seen some of the most effective transformations begin not with a mandate, but with a moment of curiosity: “What if we did this—and what might break first?”Today we'll walk through what thought experiments are, why they matter in medical groups, how to run them effectively, what to do when they succeed (and when they don't), and how to build a culture around them that makes your organization smarter, more resilient, and more agile.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Send us a textYou get asked questions all day long.By patients. By staff. By your family. By the system.But when was the last time you asked yourself a question that actually helped?In this final week of our 10-week Recharge Challenge, we're talking about one of the most overlooked (and powerful) stress-reduction tools you already have: better questions.Not the stuck, spiraling ones:Why is this happening to me?What now?!How am I supposed to manage all of this?Those aren't really questions. They're expressions of overwhelm.This episode is about learning how to ask questions that create movement instead of paralysis, clarity instead of self-blame, and agency instead of burnout.As physicians, curiosity is our superpower. We use it expertly with our patients—but we rarely turn it inward. This week is about changing that.We reflect on:Why unanswerable questions keep us stuckHow asking better questions helps you interrupt autopilot and conditioned overworkingWhy this is not about blaming yourself or ignoring systemic problemsHow small, daily check-ins can fundamentally change how you experience your life and workThis isn't about fixing healthcare overnight.It's about giving yourself back some power today.

In this episode, Dr. James McCarthy, Executive Vice President and Chief Physician Executive at Memorial Hermann Health System, discusses initiatives to expand patient access, integrate physician practices, and improve value-based care. He also shares strategies for managing growth, enhancing employee health programs, and upgrading the system's aeromedical fleet to support high-acuity care.

Happy Holidays from the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In honour of the holidays we are replaying our top two episodes of 2025. This week we're excited to bring you a replay of Episode 125 of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast. In this special episode, Dr. Sarah Smith brings together her “brains trust”—the talented team of assistant coaches from Charting Champions and Smarter Charting—for an inspiring and honest roundtable discussion. Join Dr. Jacqueline Holm-Jhass, Dr. Milene Argo, and Dr. Noel Nelson as they open up about their personal journeys from burnout to rediscovering joy in medicine and share their passion for helping clinicians create better clinical days. You'll hear first hand stories about the real costs of working after hours, practical strategies for managing the chaos of unpredictable clinic days, and priceless reminders that you are not alone in the struggle. The coaches offer compassionate advice on emotional regulation, self-compassion, and the vital importance of finding celebration and purpose—even on the hardest days. Whether you're deep in the trenches of clinical work or just starting to think about how to make medicine more sustainable, this episode is packed with relatable insights, encouragement, and actionable wisdom to help you reclaim time for your life outside of medicine. Get ready to meet the coaches who are changing the way clinicians approach their clinical days and rekindling love for the profession—one conversation at a time. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: You're Not Alone: Every physician experiences overwhelm—even the coaches and leaders we look up to. Vulnerability and community are key to finding solutions and breaking the cycle of isolation. Small Wins & Self-Compassion Matter: Shifting from self-criticism to celebration of even tiny wins each day (like finishing one tough chart, or supporting a grieving patient) helps change the narrative and builds resilience over time. The System is Broken, Not You: The impossible demands of modern medicine make it crucial to set boundaries and redefine what “good enough” looks like for you, rather than striving for unattainable perfection. The Charting Champions Coaches Dr. Sarah Smith and her vibrant Charting Coach team: Dr. Jacqueline Holm-Jhass, Dr. Milene Argo, and Dr. Noel Nelson. Get ready for an honest, supportive, and practical conversation about what it truly takes to create a sustainable, joyful clinical day as a physician or clinician. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

On this ENCORE of our most popular episode of 2025, hosts Dr. Mojola Omole and Dr. Blair Bigham speak with two authors of the latest “Hypertension Canada guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in adults in primary care”The discussion reflects a shared urgency: despite past successes, Canada's hypertension control rates are declining. The new guidelines aim to reverse this trend by simplifying diagnosis and treatment for frontline clinicians.Dr. Rémi Goupil, a nephrologist and clinician researcher at Sacré-Cœur Hospital in Montreal, and Dr. Greg Hundemer, a nephrologist and clinician scientist at The Ottawa Hospital, explain that the updated guideline is deliberately designed for primary care providers. They highlight key shifts: lowering the diagnostic threshold for hypertension to  ≥ 130/80 mm Hg, simplifying blood pressure targets, and emphasizing accurate, standardized measurement techniques both in clinic and at home. The guidelines were created with input from a majority-primary care committee—including family physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and patient partners—to ensure clinical applicability.Together, the panel outlines a streamlined nine-step treatment algorithm, emphasizing combination therapy as first-line pharmacologic management. They explain the evidence supporting ARB–thiazide combinations, discuss cost considerations for drug selection, and address adherence challenges. They also explore red flags for secondary hypertension and how the algorithm supports—but does not replace—clinical judgment.For physicians, this guideline offers a clear and practical roadmap: measure blood pressure correctly, aim for systolic pressure below 130 mm Hg, and use the simplified treatment sequence to improve adherence and outcomes. Designed to be easy to implement, the new approach aims to empower primary care providers to act with confidenceComments or questions?

In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, Ali sits down with yoga teacher, author, and anatomy educator Rachel Scott to explore what it truly means to live as a body – not just to have one.Beginning with a candid inquiry into modern yoga culture, Rachel gently peels back the layers of Western commodification to reveal yoga's deeper purpose: presence, self-regulation, and intimacy with the living intelligence beneath our habits and conditioning. From there, the dialogue opens into a profound exploration of embodiment as a spiritual practice – one that includes sensation, relationship, desire, stillness, and paradox.Drawing on decades of practice, Rachel shares how yoga, anatomy study, and contemplative stillness have shaped her understanding of consciousness, love, and human connection. Together, Ali and Rachel reflect on mindfulness versus “body-fulness,” nervous-system awareness in dating and relationships, and the wisdom of listening to the body's cues around safety, timing, and consent.The conversation also moves tenderly into themes rarely spoken aloud: fertility, choice, grief, freedom, and the many ways maternal love can be expressed beyond childbirth. Rachel speaks openly about her journey through wanting children, confronting ambivalence, and ultimately trusting the larger intelligence of life – an experience that reshaped her relationships, her work, and her sense of self.Weaving together yoga philosophy, Tantra, anatomy lab awe, and everyday relational practice, this episode is an invitation to slow down, feel more, and honor the mystery of being embodied. A heartfelt exploration of love, presence, and the courage it takes to listen deeply to the body's quiet truths.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeALI BIO: Ali Mezey is a Body Therapist, Family Constellation Work Facilitator, Sexologist and Media Maker with over 40 years of experience.

For example, substance dualists believe that the mind is part of the soul and the soul resides completely outside of the body.Non-dualism: Non-dualism refers to the idea that all things are interconnected and not separate. Distinctions like self and other, or good and bad, are illusions created by the mind. Essentially, it's about recognizing the unity and interdependence of all phenomena.Proprioception: also referred to as kinesthesia, is the sense of body position, movement, and force. It is the unconscious awareness without visual input and is sometimes referred to as the sixth sense.There are three primary types of proprioceptors: muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs (GTOs), and joint receptors. Each distinct type provides different information that together shape the sensory profile of the body's positioning and motion.Interoception: Interoception is awareness of your body's internal senses or signals. It identifies how you feel. You can consciously or unconsciously respond to these signals. For example, if your stomach rumbles, you know you're hungry.YOGA DEFINITIONS:Shiva: He is the Supreme Being in Shaivism, one of the major traditions within Hinduism. Shiva. God of Destruction.

Send us a textTransitioning from fellowship to your first attending job? You're probably not prepared for the business side of medicine—and that's exactly the problem Dr. Tung Giep addresses in this episode. Dr. Giep, a neonatologist with over 30 years of experience, shares hard-earned lessons from building and selling a private practice in Houston, navigating toxic work environments, and eventually finding his place in telemedicine.

They also explore the growing role of AI in healthcare and what it means for the next generation of physicians. Whether you're finishing fellowship or reconsidering your current position, this conversation offers practical guidance on taking control of your career—and avoiding costly mistakes along the way.

Lindsay is joined by author Stephanie Cowell to discuss her book, “The Man in The Stone Cottage.” In 1846, Yorkshire, the Brontë sisters— Charlotte, Anne, and Emily— navigate precarious lives marked by heartbreak and struggle. Charlotte faces rejection from the man she loves, while their blind father and troubled brother add to their burdens. Despite their immense talent, no one will publish their poetry or novels. Amidst this turmoil, Emily encounters a charming shepherd during her solitary walks on the moors, yet he remains unseen by anyone else.

Attorney Bo Loeffler returns to the podcast to revisit with David the foundational principles of asset protection—what it is, why physicians need it, and how proper timing and structure make all the difference. The conversation begins with an overview of risk for physicians, from malpractice and employee claims to real estate liability and auto accidents and stresses the importance of addressing these risks before they arise. Bo and David emphasize the crucial concept that asset protection is only effective when implemented ahead of any foreseeable claim. The discussion then shifts to the three legs of the asset protection stool: proper insurance coverage, state-specific exempt assets, and legal tools such as LLCs and irrevocable trusts. Bo highlights how differences between state laws—especially Ohio's robust statutes—can dramatically impact the success of an asset protection plan. They also explain how tools such as LLCs and Domestic Asset Protection Trusts can be structured to protect against creditors through features like charging orders, sole-remedy statutes, and sate-specific limitations on creditor remedies. Finally, the episode examines real legal cases—including one in Colorado involving LLC misuse and one in Delaware validating long-standing asset protection trust structures—to illustrate what works and what fails in the real world. David concludes by drawing a parallel to medicine: asset protection requires both "surgery" (establishing tools) and "rehab" (proper, ongoing maintenance). With Bo's deep experience drafting state statutes and litigating these issues, the episode provides a practical, high-level roadmap for physicians looking to protect their personal and professional assets.

The holiday season brings many fun traditions, like going to see the lights, opening Advent calendars, baking, or shopping for the perfect gift. Since the holidays also signal the end of the year, it can be a time to think about taxes, too. Nate Reineke and Chelsea Jones break down some of the tax breaks doctors like you can try to catch at the last second, like maxing out contributions. We also look at some tax breaks that take a bit more planning, like charitable donations, that you could plan for in 2026. We also answer your colleagues' questions. An Anesthesiologist in Iowa says, “I want to help my son with a home purchase - what is the best way for me to do this?” An Oncologist in Colorado asks, “Do you think a really early retirement is worth pursuing?” A Family Medicine Doc in Texas says, “I've heard about this opportunity from a few colleagues to buy into this cash flow business (storage units). The projected return seems really appealing (20-30% over 3 years). What do you think?” Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into all the money you need for college and retirement? It's time to make a plan and get on track.

In season 6 Episode 6  I am delighted to welcome Graham Walker, MD to the podcast. Dr Walker is an emergency physician by clinical background who practices in San Francisco, completing his medical school training at Stanford University School of Medicine. He also majored in social policy as an undergraduate and has had a life long interest in software development and digital technology. Today he combines these interests and skills in his clinical and non-clinical roles.Graham is the co-director of Advanced Development at The Permanente Medical Group (TPMG), which delivers care for Kaiser Permanente's 4.6 million members in Northern California. At TPMG, Graham works on practical AI development, commercialization, partnerships, and technology transformation under the Chief Innovation Officer. As a clinical informaticist, he also leads emergency and urgent care strategy for KP's electronic medical record. With an appetite and aptitude for tech innovation and entrepreneurship Dr Walker created and founded MDCalc as a resident, a free online clinical decision support tool many clinicians including myself have been using for years now, indeed MDCalc turned 20 this month.More recently Graham co-founded the platform and community  Offcall with a mission to bring joy back to medicine and facilitate contract transparency and financial literacy for US medical practitioners. These two online resources are dedicated to helping physicians globally.  In his free time Graham writes about the intersection of AI, technology, and medicine, and created The Physicians' Charter for Responsible AI, a practical guide to implementing safe, accurate, and fair AI in healthcare settings.In this conversation I have an opportunity to explore Dr Walkers perspective at the intersection of AI, technology and medicine and revisit some emerging themes from season 6 in relation to leading change and innovation in complex, siloed healthcare systems.  We discuss the challenges of communicating change efforts in this context and Graham shares his practical pearls for elevating clinical voices and translating information across disparate stakeholder groups. With a unique leadership role in his own organisation in this space I was keen to explore his perspectives on creating opportunities for intrapreneurship. Dr Walker is a globally respective clinical voice on AI in healthcare and we discuss the perils and promise of AI , the Physician Charter for responsible use of AI in medicine and his Offcall survey and  pending report on physicians views on the technology application and implementation in medicine ( now published and linked below) Finally it is Graham's mission to bring joy and humanity back to medicine and to use technology responsibly to augment the clinician experience and skillset enabling safer and higher quality care that is the major draw for me.  Thank you Dr Walker for you work which has global relevance and reach.Links / References:https://drgrahamwalker.comhttps://www.offcall.comThe Mind Full Medic Podcast is proudly sponsored by the MBA NSW-ACT Find out more about the charitable organisation supporting doctors and their families and/ or donate today at www.mbansw.org.auDisclaimer: The content in this podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Send us a textImagine this: You see a patient, perform the exam, document the care, your staff submits the claim—to all appearances everything looks right. But then the claim comes back denied. The team may shrug, file it away, mark it unresolved. And the revenue disappears. What you delivered—the service, the documentation, the provider expertise—is lost financially. And more often than you think, this is happening silently. And this is in addition to the money you're losing on adjustments, which we reviewed in our last episode.Today we're diving into an issue that's also quietly eroding the bottom line of many medical groups: claim denials that aren't followed up. The stats are startling: about 20% of medical insurance claims are denied (yes, you heard that correctly: one‑in‑five) and around 65% of those denials are never appealed or corrected. Put those together and you get this: if 20% are denied, and 65% of those are lost, you're effectively giving away 13% of your revenue. That's a huge hit—and yet most practices aren't managing it as one of their top financial risks. Many aren't even aware of it. They've just gotten used to it over the years as an “acceptable loss.”This isn't theory—it's real work you've done, for real patients, with real documentation and care. And if you don't follow up on denials, you're essentially saying someone else's rules are dictating your revenue. For physician groups, this means margin gets squeezed, growth stalls, and independence becomes harder to maintain. All because you're handing over a bunch of money to the payers.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Send us a textWhat do you need more of right now?Your brain will say: time, sleep, money, peace on earth, a functioning Epic inbox. Fair.But this week, we're naming the thing that quietly drives everything else: connection.Not “more people.” Not “more social plans.”More moments where you actually feel connected—to your people, to your purpose, and to yourself.Because you can be surrounded all day (patients, staff, family) and still feel… nothing. Or worse: irritated, numb, braced, and already mentally leaving the room while your body is still sitting there.This episode is a gentle—but very real—invitation to come back.In this episode, we talk about:Why connection is often the missing ingredient for stressed, high-functioning women physiciansThe difference between being around people and feeling connectedThe secret ingredient you can't skip: presenceHow to recognize what connection feels like in your body (not someone else's Pinterest version)Three kinds of connection to practice this week:Connection to other humansConnection to a cause/passionConnection to yourselfThe hard truth: if connection feels totally inaccessible right now, that's not a character flaw—it's a signal you need supportYour Week 9 Challenge: Micro Moments of ConnectionPick one focus area this week—don't do all three unless you genuinely want to.Connection to other humansTry one “micro moment” per day:Put the phone down, face someone, make eye contactGive a real hug (not the drive-by shoulder bump)Share one honest sentence instead of your highlight reelBe fully there for 60 seconds (yes, even at the dinner table)2. Connection to a cause or passionIf connection with people feels like… a lot right now, connect to something that matters:Contribute, participate, show up, or simply remember why you careLet your work link you to meaning (even if the system is a mess)3. Connection to yourselfThis one is underrated—and powerful:Notice your self-talk: is it kind, or is it a hostile attending who never goes off service?Try a few minutes of journaling, stillness, prayer, meditation, or a walk with no inputChoose one moment where you stop abandoning yourselfA quick reflection (do this right now)Think of a time you felt genuinely connected. Ask:What did that feel like in my body?What thoughts were present?What made that moment possible?Then choose your tiny practice for the week.Because connection isn't a grand gesture.It's a repeatable skill.You're not behindIf you're joining mid-challenge, welcome.

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this special episode, Dr. Sarah Smith joins forces with Dr. Priyanka Venugopal from the Unstoppable Mom Brain Podcast for a deeply insightful conversation all about reclaiming time and creating more sustainable clinical practices. Together, they dive into the real-life struggles physicians face when it comes to finishing work at work—and not letting charting and paperwork spill into precious family time. Dr. Smith shares her own journey of burnout, the “aha” moments that changed her approach forever, and the practical strategies that helped her—and now hundreds of other clinicians—conquer endless documentation and interruptions. This episode is packed with actionable gems, from simple mindset shifts to rethinking workflow, delegation, and team dynamics. Whether you're a physician, a professional working mom, or anyone craving more balance between career and home, this conversation will inspire you to rethink what's possible. Tune in for tangible tips, relatable stories, and a whole lot of encouragement to create those “bucket loads of time” you've been searching for. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Redesign Your Workflow—One Small Step at a Time: Challenging your status quo doesn't require a massive overhaul overnight. Dr. Smith emphasizes starting with one thing you wish were different, then getting curious about how to make that change—whether it's charting as you go or setting clearer boundaries for finishing tasks before heading home. Choose the 'Goat Track' over the 'Superhighway': Our brains crave familiar (often inefficient) routines. Breaking those habits will feel awkward and slower at first, but staying consistent creates more “bucket loads of time”—those open evenings and weekends we all crave. Teamwork and Delegation Create Freedom: Whether you have a team or work solo, look for ways to delegate, systematize, and create assets that make recurring tasks easier. Training others (or even your future self!) means you spend your best energy on what truly requires your expertise. Episode 102: Burn Stress. Lose Weight.

Dr. Tessa Damm, an ICU physician turned metabolic health advocate, shares her insights on why women often miss early signs of metabolic dysfunction and how to take back control of their health. Drawing from years in critical care and personal experience with chronic illness, Dr. Damm explains how lifestyle interventions can prevent life-threatening diseases and improve quality of life at any age.

This episode is a compelling reminder that chronic disease is not inevitable—and that vibrant health is within reach. In this episode, you'll discover: Why 88% of American adults have some degree of metabolic dysfunction How signs like fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn belly fat are often dismissed as "normal aging" The major flaws in our healthcare system's approach to chronic disease Why accountability and community support are essential for successful health changes The surprising results women experience—including increased energy, reduced pain, and regained self-confidence How Dr. Damm's approach differs from traditional medicine with personalized biometrics and weekly habit tweaks What to consider when investing in preventive health instead of waiting for a crisis Memorable Quotes: "No one is coming to save you. Our healthcare system is designed to react to disease, not prevent it." "Chronic disease is not inevitable—and your everyday habits are your most powerful tool." "The real magic is mental—women stop obsessing over their bodies and reclaim their confidence." Bio: Dr. Tessa Damm is an ICU physician who has spent years caring for critically ill adults—often seeing undiagnosed metabolic dysfunction driving life-threatening disease.

God does not want to heal your body. ... The function of thinking that God wants to heal your body is rooted in the belief that your body is separate from His.

The post 147 Organizing Testicular Disorders & beating PA School Anxiety appeared first on Physician Assistant Exam Review.

Physician advocate and physical therapist Kim Downey and counselor Shari Morin-Degel discuss their article, "Why burnout prevention starts with leadership." Shari shares her personal journey from a trauma-exposed mental health professional to a burned-out leader who initially expected her team to just "push through." The conversation highlights how she reached a breaking point and realized that true recovery requires more than just individual resilience, it requires systemic support. Kim and Shari explore the data behind the "My Work BALANCE" initiative, revealing that employee engagement with wellness tools soars only when leaders actively model participation and provide paid time for it. They discuss critical research on behavior change and argue that tools alone are useless without a culture of visible norms and psychological safety.

What a year it has been. In this special Year in Review 2025 episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, Khalil Diab and MohammadAli Jardaly look back at a remarkable year of conversations that went far beyond medicine. From artificial intelligence and innovation to humanities, storytelling, identity, and reinvention, 2025 revealed a powerful shift in how we talk about healthcare, careers, and purpose. We revisited unforgettable episodes featuring physicians, scientists, writers, entrepreneurs, and leaders from Lebanon and the diaspora voices that challenged assumptions, changed perspectives, and reminded us that medicine is as human as it is scientific. This episode reflects on: The growing role of AI in healthcare and beyond The return of humanities, books, and personal journeys to medical dialogue Powerful stories of career reinvention, entrepreneurship, and finding purpose Highlighting Lebanese and regional talent making a global impact Why you are never stuck—in medicine or in life Lessons learned from guests who reshaped how we think about success, risk, and fulfillment We also discuss how the podcast itself is evolving embracing video, reaching new audiences, and expanding its mission as an open platform for meaningful conversations. You don't have to be a physician to be part of this dialogue—if you have a story worth sharing, this space is for you.

A Letter From Me to YouAs we close out 2025, I wanted to take a moment to speak directly to you - doctor to doctor, human to human.This episode is a little different. It's a twist on 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, written as a reflection of our shared journey as physicians. It honors not only the work we do in exam rooms and inboxes, but also the quiet, unseen work that happens in kitchens, cars, call rooms, and living rooms - the places where our families, our partners, and our loved ones carry this life with us.My hope is that you'll hear pieces of your own story in this reading: the exhaustion that shows up at the end of a too-long day, the hope that never fully disappears, and the quiet, stubborn resilience that keeps you moving forward. Whether you practice Direct Primary Care or another model, the heart of what we do is human-centered medicine, and that heart beats strongest when we remember that compassion includes ourselves.This episode is my way of acknowledging the realities we juggle, the trust we're fighting to reclaim between doctor and patient, and the community that continues to grow around this movement. It's an invitation to take a breath, to feel seen, and to know you are not doing this alone.As you listen, I hope you feel warmth. I hope you feel connection and I hope you step into the new year with a little more light.With gratitude,Maryal Concepcion, MD Family Physician & MomKeywords: Direct Primary Care, physician wellness, holiday podcast, medical compassion, family, physician support, Christmas storySupport the showBe A My DPC Story PATREON MEMBER!
