This is part 1 of the new series, “So Much More Than Weight Loss”. We discuss what optimal weight loss is and why it’s actually a secondary goal. You'll hear what an authentic agenda is and how to discover what it means to you.

A discussion about how growth only truly occurs when we lean into discomfort. This supports introspection, healthy habit-building, and the achievement of goals.

We all use excuses not to commit to an exercise or health plan. But the truth is, that’s all they are: excuses. If you find yourself full of excuses not to commit, you’re not alone – it’s a widespread occurrence. Dr. Mark Novitsky joins me to discuss the top ten reasons we don’t commit to a fitness or health plan.

Fasting is one of the popular ways to eat for weight loss. However, it’s not without its pitfalls, especially if you’re trying to change your body composition. I’m all about finding the best way to fast in a way that works for you. In this episode, I’m talking about the five pitfalls of fasting and what you can do to avoid them.

There is so much more to weight loss than just losing weight. Weight loss includes thought work, boundary setting, healing your relationship with your body, and growing massively in so many areas of your life. If weight loss is your goal, I want you to go deeper. In part two of the so much more than weight loss series, I talk about weight loss as a secondary effect of improving your life.

There is so much more than weight loss. It all comes down to how you define success – it’s not just the number on the scale. Even if that number doesn’t shift, you’re improving your health, thought distortions, boundaries, and so much more. In part one of this series, I talk about everything that is so much more than weight loss.

Wanting to lose weight isn’t a bad goal. But, we need to talk about everything that comes with how you’re losing weight. We need to rethink weight loss. I actually don’t think the term “weight loss” serves us well at all. In this episode, I talk about how you can rethink weight by considering your body’s recomposition, regular strength training, and eating macronutrients consistent with your body type and goal.

You can take control of your life, heal from burnout, and thrive in our broken medical system. It sounds impossible, but Dr. Jimmy Turner joins me to talk about how he helps his clients heal from or overcome burnout, achieve financial freedom, and thrive.

Do you have fun every day? Fun is an essential part of your life and, as such, you need to prioritize it! Fun can help you destress, feel happier, and prevent burnout – it’s a winning situation. Let’s talk about the five steps you can take to have more fun in your everyday life.

You need to start setting better boundaries. Boundaries help prevent burnout and resentment, even when you’re doing something that you love. I’m joined by my friend, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt, on the release of her new book, Brave Boundaries, to talk about the steps to take to start setting boundaries in your life: both with yourself and other people.

As women, we’re pretty much taught by society not to put our own needs and desires first. This leads more and more women to discount and not prioritize themselves. What if I told you it didn’t need to be this way? What if I told you that by prioritizing your wants and needs, you will feel better, stronger, and more capable in all areas of your life? Let’s talk about developing a strategy to stop discounting yourself.

Your diet or nutrition plan isn’t getting you the results that you want it to. This is a common complaint among women trying to lose weight or gain muscle. There are usually five reasons why it might not be working – let’s look at them.

Emotional eating doesn’t have to be something negative – it’s really about the way that you process the emotions that lead to your emotional eating. I think we need to reconsider what emotional eating means to us. Let’s unpack the emotions behind emotional eating and strategize ways to survive any scenario where you might be more inclined to eat emotionally.

At some point in your life, you have eaten emotionally. I think there’s a lot of stigma about emotional eating, but not all emotional eating is negative. Eating birthday cake, celebratory meals, and other happy occasion foods are usually positive! So let’s talk about what constitutes negative emotional eating and the behaviors that might lead you there.

You are worth investing in yourself. That’s what my guest’s final transformation stories come down to. Invest in yourself. Find a group of supportive people who will lift you up and keep you going through the good and bad times. And while you’re at it - make sure to schedule some time for yourself!

Making transformations in a group setting is more fun and it helps you feel better, faster! This is part two of personal transformation stories from the women physicians in my group programs and they’re sharing the benefits of group coaching, how to practically set and stick to your goals, and why you really do have to trust the process.

When women come together, transformation happens. That’s what I love about my group programs: they’re full of women physicians who support, uplift, and encourage each other through all of the ups and downs that come with any kind of transformation journey. This is part one of a three-part series where I speak to some of the incredible women in my group programs.

You can redefine yourself at any time. It’s a process of rediscovery and self-awareness that lets you truly step into yourself and be yourself authentically. I’m breaking down the necessary steps along this journey, starting with actually identifying what your priorities are.

This is a tribute to my brother, Dr. Christopher, who is getting married! I wanted to talk about heroes in medicine and what makes someone a hero. My husband, Mark, joins me to spill all the good stuff about Chris, we talk about the qualities of a hero, and how you might actually be your own hero!

How can you make changes in your life and focus on new areas when you have all these other things going on? I know how overwhelming this is, but it doesn’t have to be. The trick is finding places you can pull back in so that you can move forward in other aspects of your life. Let’s talk about evaluating your life, setting goals, and sticking to your new boundaries.
