Thriving As A Physician: How to Lose Weight & Love Your Life

Think summer should be easy for healthy eating? Ha. You're covering for everyone on vacation, your kids are home with zero routine, and you're stress-eating in your car between patients. I'm sitting on my deck talking about why summer is actually brutal for physician eating. It's not your fault - summers create the perfect storm of schedule chaos, family stress, and social food pressure. But here's the thing: you don't have to restrict all the fun stuff or wait until fall to "get back on track." I'll share what actually works when your life is upside down and why changing your brain's automatic food responses beats willpower every time. Perfect for any woman physician who's tired of the summer struggle and ready for an approach that works with your real life, not against it.  

This is Part 2 of my live Q&A series where I dive into the deeper questions that keep physicians up at night. The stuff that makes you wonder if you're broken (spoiler: you're not). In this episode, I answer:  Is it food addiction or emotional eating? When it feels like "I must eat and I don't know how to not do it" - and what labels actually help vs hurt  What to do about sweet tooth cravings hitting every 4-5 days when you're eating low carb high fat How to handle identity shifts when your health finally improves after years of limitations  These aren't surface-level questions. This is about figuring out what empowers you vs what makes you feel broken, practical solutions for low carb adaptation, and navigating the weird space when your body can suddenly do things it couldn't for years. Perfect for physicians who want to understand what's really driving their cravings and are ready to feel empowered instead of controlled by food. Listen today! Pssst…Make sure you listened to Part 1 where we covered emotional eating during chronic stress, those brutal 2 AM call room binges, and why starting feels so impossible.

This is Part 1 of my live Q&A session where I tackled the real food struggles women physicians face every day. No BS, just honest answers to honest questions. In this episode, I answer: How to manage emotional eating when you're dealing with ongoing chronic stress (like caring for a teen with chronic health issues while working as a physician) What to do about those 2 AM call room binges when you're exhausted and surrounded by treats Why starting feels so hard even when you "know what to do" and want to lose weight so badly This isn't generic diet advice. This is physician-specific support for the unique crap we deal with - from anticipatory stress before call shifts to feeling like you need to give up everything you love just to lose weight. Perfect for any woman physician who's tired of the cycle: knowing what's healthy but struggling to actually do it in the chaos of medical practice. Make sure to listen to Part 2 next week where we dive into food addiction vs emotional eating, sweet cravings on low carb, and identity shifts when your health finally improves.

Ever make a perfect eating plan and then rebel against it by Thursday? You're not broken. You're not self-sabotaging. You're rebelling against diet culture telling you to do shitty stuff to yourself - and that rebellious streak is actually powerful. In this episode, I explain why rebellion shows up in our eating and how to harness it so it works FOR you instead of against you. Because that same rebellious part that got you through medical school? It's trying to protect you from unfair diet rules. I'll share my empowered eating approach plus the abundance strategy that may sound backwards but eliminates the need to rebel. If you feel like you're constantly fighting yourself around food or think something's wrong with you because you can't "stick to" plans, this episode is exactly what you need. Perfect for female physicians ready to stop battling themselves around food.
