What does it mean to be ill? In episode 159 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss illness. They explore how illness has been mythologized, how it may alienate us from our bodies, and how it impacts social relationships. Is science the solution to the mythologization of illness, or is the scientific model of illness its own form of mythology? How should we conceptualize illness? Is it as a “deviation” from a norm? And if so, what norm? Finally, what can we learn about illness from a phenomenological approach that centers the patient's first-person experience? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts think about the distinction between the mental and the physical in connection to illness and the intersection between mind and body in illness.

In this episode, Dr. Peter Kim talks to the version of you that's tired of always being needed and rarely feeling free. He names the quiet frustrations physicians carry, the ones that don't show up on paper but slowly take away your time, energy, and choice. He brings back a conversation about what freedom actually looks like for physicians who want to feel present, in control, and aligned again. If you've ever felt exhausted, boxed in, or wondered when your life started feeling this heavy, this episode will resonate deeply. Tune in. Joining PIMDCON 2026? Click here to reserve your seat!

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
A special release in honor of National Women Physicians Day 2026. Today's conversation is an invitation to notice overfunctioning with compassion. Overfunctioning may have helped you succeed in medicine but it often costs you intimacy, energy, and connection. Overfunctioning and underfunctioning, as well as the resentment that follows, are a familiar relational dynamic. Overfunctioning is not a personality flaw; It's a role we step into. It is shaped by our training, context, and culture. When we pause, rest, and allow space, we usually find that the world doesn't fall apart. Others step forward in their own time and way. Even when it feels unfamiliar, this shift can offer clarity, growth, and alignment with how we truly want to live and lead. Pearls of Wisdom • Overfunctioning is a relational role developed in response to internal and external expectations. • When one person consistently does more, others often do less. Over time, the systems adapted this way. • Resentment is information. It often signals over-capacity. • Doing less can be an act of love that allows systems and relationships to reorganize. • When we stop stabilizing what's falling around us and tend to our own nervous systems first, is when change begins. Reflection Questions Where in your life are you doing more than your share simply because you are capable? What feels most uncomfortable about stepping back? What might happen if you rest or stop managing? What would love do this week in your relationships or at work? Join me for coaching or a retreat to explore how to change the overfunctioning habit. www.jessiemahoneymd.com In Mindful Love Small Group Coaching we specifically look at overfunctioining in the context of our intimate relationships. In Leading from the Heart and Transition Well Small Group Coaching we work on it in the context of career and life pivots and leadership. At retreats and advanced coaching, we work on moving beyond it in every realm of your life. If you are interested in having me speak to your group on overfunctioning or any of the topics discussed in this podcast, find out more here www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking or email me at jessie@jessiemahoneymd.com.

Physicians face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide risk than the general population, yet most never seek mental health care. In this episode, Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld, professor of anesthesiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Global Chief Medical Officer for AIDOC, discusses new JAMA research examining why. The conversation looks at how medical culture, stigma, time constraints and concerns about confidentiality or professional consequences can keep physicians from getting help, even when effective treatment exists.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! Happy Women Physician Day! In this special episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Sunny Smith, founder of Empowering Women Physicians, to discuss the unique challenges facing women physicians and the coaching tools that are helping hundreds break free from burnout—without quitting medicine. If you've ever felt trapped, exhausted, or wondered "when does it get better?"—this conversation is for you. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: The Arrival Fallacy - Happiness Won't Come Later: The belief that you'll be happy "once you become an attending" or "once the kids are in school" is a fallacy. Happiness isn't found at some future milestone—it requires intentional choices now. The system won't change on its own, and no one is coming to save you. Agency Over Learned Helplessness: Medicine systematically exposes physicians to situations beyond their control, leading to learned helplessness. The antidote is recognizing you have agency and choice—even small 1% changes compound over time. Start with one closed chart, one boundary, one small decision that shows you can impact your outcome. Connection Breaks Isolation: You can't understand the mental load of being a physician unless you've been one. Being in community with other women physicians who normalize your struggles and model different choices is therapeutic. When you see others advocating for themselves—taking leave, setting boundaries, pursuing passion projects—it gives you permission to do the same. Bonus insight: It's not your job's job to make you happy—that's your job. And 77% of physicians entering coaching programs meet burnout criteria, but only 33% do after just 8 weeks, without changing jobs. Meet Dr. Sunny Smith: Sunny Smith MD is the Founder and CEO of Empowering Women Physicians. Dr Smith brings her background as an awarded Medical Educator, and Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health into the coaching space. She advocates for physician wellness through her comprehensive and collaborative coaching program, podcast, retreats and Facebook group that seek to change the culture of medicine through normalizing and humanizing the experience of being a physician.

She describes the fog and misery she experienced while trying to force her body into a rhythm that did not match her natural energy patterns. The conversation highlights the dangers of comparing your internal reality to the curated highlight reels of gurus on social media. Laura explains how she learned to drop the self-judgment and give herself permission to work in a way that felt authentic and sustainable.

Send us a textIn this episode, we explore Job's sharp words in Job 13:4, where he calls his friends “worthless physicians.” Through a personal story and Job's interaction with his friends, we examine the difference between care that heals and care that simply rushes to explain. Job's friends began well by showing up and sitting in silence, but they failed when they chose answers over empathy. Drawing wisdom from Proverbs, this episode challenges us to consider whether our words bring healing or harm when others come to us in pain.
Nationally recognized psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article "Physician legal rights: What to do when agents knock." Muhamad shares a terrifying but essential guide for any doctor facing an unexpected visit from federal agents or investigators. He explains why the physician's natural instinct to educate, reassure, and be helpful is actually a liability that can lead to a prison sentence. The conversation highlights the critical legal distinction established in Salinas v. Texas which means silence alone is not enough to protect you without a verbal invocation of rights. Muhamad contrasts real-life case studies of doctors who talked and lost everything with those who remained silent and were exonerated. Learn why the only safe response to an investigator is a specific single sentence that invokes your Fifth Amendment protection. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

“When Jesus heard it, He said to them, ‘Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.’” (Mark 2:17 NKJV) Jesus interacted with a remarkably diverse group of people during His public ministry. The Gospels record His encounters with Pharisees, tax collectors, Roman officials, fishermen, a Samaritan woman, and a host of others. One of the extraordinary things about these encounters is the personalized attention He gave each person, whether He was offering encouragement, rebuke, or healing. He recognized that every man, every woman, and every child is different. And though they have many of the same problems and the same basic needs, He realized that there were unique things about them that required individual ministry. He saw people for exactly who they were. He understood exactly what they needed. And He provided it. It’s no wonder people refer to Him as the Great Physician. Jesus Himself said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance” (Mark 2:17 NKJV). Like a physician, Jesus usually saw people at their worst. I’ve always thought that one of the hardest things about being a doctor is that you only see people when they’re sick or in need of medical assistance. Most physicians don’t get a lot of patients stopping by their office to say, “Hey, Doc, I’m feeling great! I just wanted to let you know. Want to go to lunch?” You don’t usually call your doctor when you’re feeling good. You call when you’re feeling sick. And your doctor will have you come in, examine you, and apply the necessary treatment to the area of need. Doctors, of course, are limited in their areas of expertise. Cardiologists specialize in heart health. Dermatologists specialize in matters of the skin. Gastroenterologists specialize in digestive system health. Hematologists specialize in blood disorders. Oncologists specialize in cancer treatment. The list goes on and on. Jesus, on the other hand, can treat the whole person. He caused the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the disabled to walk, and the dead to live. He removed the spiritual torment of the demon-possessed. He eased the emotional struggles of the frightened and grieving. He didn’t just improve people’s quality of life; He gave them a life they never knew was possible. That’s what He meant when He said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10 NKJV). Jesus still provides personalized care for His people. He knows what you need. In fact, He knows better than you do what you need. And He can and will provide it. Reach out to Him. Open yourself to His loving ministry. Let Him guide you into the life He has planned for you. Enjoy all the benefits of having a personal Physician. Reflection question: How has Jesus impacted your life in a personal way?

From the very beginning of nurse anesthesia, opposition was organized, strategic, and relentless. Two central figures who devoted their careers to making anesthesia a physician-only specialty in the United States in the early 1900s were Frank and Laurette McMechan. Today, we'll examine their lives and professional impact in this historical episode with our show historians Nancy Bruton-Maree, CRNA and Sandy Ouellette, CRNA. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:
In this episode, Dr. John R. Mehall returns to the show for a discussion with host Dan Karnuta about the evolving economics of physician practice and how different organizational models — hospital employment, independent groups and private equity partnerships — shape autonomy, productivity and long-term sustainability. Drawing on his experience as a former cardiac surgeon and now healthcare executive and entrepreneur, Mehall explains why hospitals increasingly struggle to sustain physician employment, how subsidy-driven compensation models can create internal competition, and what it really takes for physicians to successfully transition back to independence through ancillaries, capital investment and operational support. Kaiser is director of the MS/MBA in Healthcare Leadership and Management for Professionals at UT Dallas' Naveen Jindal School of Management.

This time on Code WACK! How does Medicare Advantage - also known as privatized Medicare - fail seniors … especially seniors of color? Why do many seniors find they actually have no other choice than an Advantage plan? What's the consequence of that lack of choice? And how do Medicare Advantage insurance plans actually deepen racial and income disparities? To find out, we spoke with Dr. Belinda McIntosh — an Atlanta-based psychiatrist with more than 20 years of experience, a board member of Physicians for a National Health Program, and co-author of a new PNHP report titled “No Real Choices: How Medicare Advantage Fails Seniors of Color.” This is the first episode in a two-part series.

What if your career didn't have to be just one thing? In today's episode of the Doctors Crossing Carpe Diem podcast, we explore the idea of a portfolio career—a professional life made up of multiple aligned roles rather than a single, linear path. Using a powerful real-world example, we talk about how physicians can create more fulfillment, connection, and sustainability by thoughtfully diversifying how they work. I'm joined by Dr. Jess Beachkofsky, a psychiatrist who affectionately calls herself The Sunny Psychiatrist. Jess shares her journey from military medicine to telepsychiatry, private practice, and eventually a portfolio career that blends clinical work, nurse practitioner supervision, disability evaluations, teaching, and speaking. Her story is a beautiful example of how clarity often comes from experimentation—not from having it all figured out upfront. Together, we talk honestly about what wasn't working, what was missing, and how small "yeses" opened doors to a career that now feels deeply aligned. We also discuss the practical considerations of portfolio careers, including time management, income variability, benefits, and insurance—so you can explore your options with eyes wide open. If you're feeling stuck, lonely, under-stimulated, or simply curious about what else might be possible, this episode offers both inspiration and grounded guidance. In this episode we're talking about: What a portfolio career really looks like in real life How to recognize what's missing in your current role The emotional and practical benefits of career diversification Physician-friendly portfolio options inside and outside of medicine Nurse practitioner supervision as a meaningful side role The importance of small experiments instead of big leaps Questions to ask before moving away from a traditional W-2 role Links for this episode: Connect with Jessica Beachkofsky Jessica Beachkofsky's LinkedIn Episode #59: Want to Test Drive Your Career Idea?

After years of building your private practice, the time has come to sell. The business you have poured your time, energy, and money into is being bought by private equity. Should you take the payout in PE shares or cash? Nate Reineke delves into some key considerations that docs like you should know when faced with this situation. We break down how shares could benefit you in the long run and how cash could help keep you diversified. We also look at how taking some of each could offer the best of both worlds. We also answer your colleagues' questions. A Psychiatrist in New Jersey says, “We are financially independent but still working since we are in our mid 40s. We are considering shifting some money out of stocks and into bonds to get to a 60/40 portfolio. Is that a good idea for us?” An Ophthalmologist in Georgia asks, “We have all the money we need to pay for college. Should I take our money out of the stock market?” A Hand surgeon in Florida wonders, “The surrender period if finished on a variable annuity we purchased a while back. We were told that we are only paying 1% in fees on the account. Should we leave the money in the annuity?” 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.

January 30, 2026 On this episode, Scott and Mark Painter sit down with Dr. Sida Niu and Tyler Hamik, co-founders of docology, an AI-driven clinical intake and workflow automation platform. Dr. Niu explains how docology was born out of his own frustration with after-hours chart review, and how the tool now distills massive referral packets into clear, focused summaries—saving hours of prep time. Tyler shares how docology integrates with EMRs to automate front-end document intake and insurance data capture, dramatically reducing administrative overhead.

GLP-1s have quickly become a cornerstone of obesity and metabolic care — but the real challenge isn't whether they work, it's how the healthcare system uses them. Leaders are grappling with tough questions around hype, access, safety, cost, and long-term sustainability. In this episode, recorded live at the 2025 HLTH conference, Rae Woods moderates a candid conversation with four physician leaders: Angela Fitch, MD: Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer at Knownwell Florencia Halperin, MD: Chief Medical Officer at Form Health Spencer Nadolsky, MD: CEO and Founder of Vineyard Nathan Wood, MD: Director of Culinary Medicine at Yale Drawing from frontline clinical experience and emerging data, the panel explores why medication only approaches fall short, how wraparound care improves outcomes and adherence, and what it will take for GLP 1s to deliver true value for patients, employers, and payers.

OpenAI's launch of ChatGPT Health is reigniting a familiar debate about patient‑facing AI — how much it can empower people to access medical information, and how much it might amplify misinformation, anxiety, or privacy risks. ChatGPT Health allows users to securely enter personal health information and use ChatGPT's AI to better understand and manage their health concerns. Physicians note, however, that its impact on care will depend heavily on guardrails around accuracy, transparency, and how patients use the tool between visits. In this episode, Terry breaks down the pros and cons of AI in healthcare and highlights what providers should be cautious about as these tools become more common.

Send us a textToday we're diving into a topic that separates thriving practices from those that drift — the key metrics that don't just describe your practice, but actually predict its future.If you've ever felt like your practice is reactive rather than proactive, this episode is for you. You might be tracking revenue and visit volume, but unless you're watching the right signals — the ones that truly forecast performance — you're flying blind. By the end of today's show, you'll know the 7 metrics that matter most, how they work, industry benchmarks where available, why they matter, and how often you should be reviewing them.You've probably heard the phrase measure what matters. But in medical practice management, that's easier said than done. There are hundreds of numbers you could look at — claims denials, phone calls, referral turnaround, days to bill — but some have real predictive power. We'll go through the seven most predictive ones today, and even give you two “extra credit” metrics for when your group is ready to level up.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Send us a textYou already work hard. The question is: why are you still making it harder than it needs to be?In this episode, we're talking about tools—and not just scalpels and stethoscopes. We're talking about AI scribes, support teams, GLP-1 medications, Epic features, macros, automation… all the things that are supposed to help—but somehow end up wrapped in guilt, resistance, or overwhelm.If you've ever thought:“I shouldn't need this.”“Using that feels like cheating.”“I'm too overwhelmed to learn one more thing.”This conversation is for you.We break down three places physicians get stuck with tools and how to shift out of each one—without abandoning your values or your integrity.In this episode, we explore:Why physicians are trained to “just get it done” with dull tools—and how that backfires outside of emergenciesThe difference between being the master of a tool and being controlled by itLearned helplessness: when you technically have support, but aren't using it wellResistance and resentment toward tools (AI, Epic chat, GLP-1s)—and how it quietly drains your energyOverwhelm as a signal, not a failure—and how support can actually reduce itReal examples of using AI scribes beyond charting: coaching, expert witness work, summaries, timelinesWhy using the right tools doesn't make you less competent—it makes you more masterfulYou are not a resident.You are not a student.You already know how to do this work well.The invitation here is simple but powerful:What would change if you let your tools actually support you?
In the profession of medicine and the current world where demands on our attention are many and constant. John Hardt, Vice Dean of Professional Formation and Associate Professor of Bioethics at Loyola University of Chicago, is the co-director of the Physician's Vocation Program. The program teaches on virtue, character, and calling in medicine, reflecting on religious themes in medicine through the practices of St. Ignatius. In this TMC seminar, Dr. Hardt discusses the program, which serves as a training ground for attending to God's love for us and his presence in our lives. In so doing, it works to seed the practice of medicine with physicians who have a deep sense of purpose, a joyful spirit, and a commitment to the practice of medicine as an act of service, compassion, and healing.

Advanced practice providers are a growing part of the healthcare workforce, but many organizations aren't necessarily seeing the productivity gains they expected. On today's episode, we examine new Kaufman Hall insights on why traditional physician-APP models often underperform, and how redesigning team roles, incentives, and compensation could yield better outcomes for clinicians and patients alike. Bonnie Proulx, DNP, APRN, PNP-BC, FAAN, Senior Vice President with Kaufman Hall and a member of the firm's Physician Enterprise practice, joins the podcast to explain more.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Sarah invites Dr. Elizabeth Beg Hall, an expert in adult ADHD and psychiatrist, to discuss executive function challenges faced by physicians, particularly those with ADHD. Dr. Hall shares her professional journey from family medicine to psychiatry, highlighting the importance of psychoeducation and executive function skills development. They explore common struggles such as time management, charting, and the impact of life transitions like menopause and parenthood. Dr. Hall offers practical advice on enhancing productivity, using tools like time tracking and setting realistic goals. She also emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, kindness, and understanding one's strengths to manage executive function effectively. Tune in to gain valuable insights into managing ADHD and improving executive function skills in the demanding field of medicine. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: ADHD in High-Achieving Physicians is Real—and Often Missed: Intelligence, creativity, and strong relationships help many physicians compensate for ADHD symptoms through medical school. Diagnosis often comes later when scaffolding disappears—starting practice, having children, menopause, or taking on leadership roles. The myth that "you can't have ADHD if you're a doctor" keeps many from getting help. Executive Function Skills Matter for Everyone, Not Just ADHD: Supporting your executive function—through proper sleep, regular meals, movement, and brief breathing breaks—benefits all physicians. These aren't just "ADHD strategies"; they're fundamental tools for managing cognitive fatigue and the overwhelming administrative burden of modern medicine. Start Small: Track, Reflect, and Be Kind to Yourself Instead of trying to fix everything at once, try tracking your time for just one hour or one morning. Then reflect: What were your expectations? Were they realistic? This awareness helps you adjust without shame. Multiply your time estimates by three, control your environment (headphones, closed doors, no wifi), and remember—you're not going to do groceries in a 20-minute break. Meet Dr. Elisabeth Baerg Hall: Elisabeth Baerg Hall MD, CCFP, FRCPC As a respected speaker, educator, and therapist specializing in adult ADHD, Dr. Baerg Hall is known for her leadership in building capacity to care for and improve services for adults with ADHD. She is passionate about advancing physician wellness, particularly in supporting medical professionals who have ADHD, through her targeted physician program, Build a Better Core and other Executive Function Workshops. She directs the ADHD Centre for Education and Training. She led development of ADHD Skills Builder, an online modular ADHD psychoeducational program funded by the James Family Foundation.

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
Giving a TEDx talk taught me a lot about nervous system regulation, self-trust, and choosing love over control. In a medical culture that rewards certainty and discourages vulnerability, visibility is a nervous system challenge. Standing on a red circle requires staying present when every instinct says to hide. Through the question "What would love do?", this episode offers a grounded framework for decision-making, leadership, and communication that integrates data, values, and human emotion. It is an invitation to choose integrity and presence when outcomes are uncertain and what we carry matters. PEARLS OF WISDOM • The questions we ask shape the answers we receive. Fear-based questions rarely lead us where we want to go. • "What would love do?" is not sentimental or self-sacrificing; it is grounded, honest, and committed to doing no harm, including to ourselves. • Physicians are trained to equate control with safety. • Visibility and vulnerability are nervous system challenges, not character flaws, and they can be practiced with intention. • Choosing love often means choosing discomfort in service of what matters most. Reflection Questions: Where in your life are you trying to manage or control when a different question might bring clarity? What decisions feel heavy right now, and how might they shift if you asked, "What would love do?" Where are you being invited to tolerate discomfort so something meaningful can grow? How might your work, relationships, or leadership change if you asked what love would do? CLOSING INVITATION Giving this TEDx talk deepened my trust in the question that has quietly guided my life and work for years. It reminded me that love stays present even when outcomes are uncertain, and that choosing reach over ease is often part of meaningful contribution. Please listen to the full TEDx talk here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRQwr8-ITBQ Please share it and spread love-based decision-making far and wide. It is more needed than ever right now. You sharing the talk is the way it will reach those who really need to hear it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you want to learn how to use this tool in your own life, join me for coaching or a retreat. www.jessiemahoneymd.com *Nothing shared in the Healing Medicine Podcast is medical advice.
As we begin new year, here is your reminder: Survivorship is active, not passive. What began as a friendship grew into a shared mission—to care for, educate, and advocate for those facing breast cancer. Thanks Friendship Podcast for inviting us for this empowering conversation. In this episode, Dr. Shabana Dewani and I talk honestly about breast cancer from both sides of the table—as physicians and as humans who walk closely with survivors every day. We are both passionate about: movement and strength training- which rebuilds muscle lost during treatment, improves bone density and reduces fracture risk, lowers fatigue, improves energy, supports metabolic health and reduces risk of recurrence.We discuss prevention, recovery, survivorship, and the often unspoken emotional journey that continues long after treatment ends.This isn't just about medicine.It's about connection, trust, hope, and walking alongside patients with compassion and purpose. We are both grateful to have conversations that elevate awareness and strengthen our community.Dr. Shabana Dewani is board certified in Medical Oncology, Hematology, and Internal Medicine—and a joy to listen to! She breaks down the oncology process and important factors when deciding treatment. You'll be able to hear her passion for helping others ensuring they get the best treatment possible.Stay Connected with Dr. Deepa Halaharvi:TikTok: @breastdoctorInstagram: @drdhalaharviTBCP Instagram: @thebreastcancerpodcastWebsite: https://drdeepahalaharvi.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deepahalaharvi5917Instagram: @thebreastcancerpodcast
"I have recorded over 500 deaths in my journal... and I can tell you, the room gets crowded when we pass." Join Sandra for a moving interview with Dr. Adam Rizvi, a Critical Care Physician and Neurologist who has spent decades on the frontlines of the ICU. Dr. Rizvi began keeping a "Death Journal" to process the grief of losing patients, and what he discovered changed his view of reality forever. In this episode, Dr. Rizvi shares the unexplainable phenomena he witnesses at the bedside. He tells the incredible story of a dying father whose blood pressure was so low he should have been unconscious, yet he stayed awake and conversing until the exact moment his son walked in the door. He also discusses the medical evidence for the afterlife, sharing cases where patients had zero brain activity yet woke up with clear memories of what happened. This is a powerful conversation about the "Crowded Room" phenomenon, the power of True Forgiveness to heal decades of estrangement, and the visual proof that something leaves the body when we die. In this episode: * The Death Journal: Lessons from witnessing 500+ transitions. * The Impossible Goodbye: How a dying man held on against medical odds for his son. * The "Crowded Room": Why the room feels "standing room only" when someone dies. * Visual Phenomena: Dr. Rizvi describes seeing a ball of light leave a patient's forehead. * Medical Proof: Consciousness exists even when the EEG is flat. * Healing Estrangement: A moving story of a father and daughters reuniting after 30 years.
