🎙️ Guest Spotlight: Dr. Shanika Esparaz

Dr. Esparaz completed her undergraduate education at Northwestern University. She then attended Wright State Boonshoft School of Medicine. She completed her residency and fellowship in ophthalmology at Boston University Medical Center.

💡 Turning Point:

Dr. Esparaz encountered a pivotal moment three years ago when experiencing burnout. The catalyst for change occurred when her nanny intentionally harmed her child, revealing the need for a profound shift in priorities. Faced with the question of purpose, she transformed her life, becoming board-certified in Lifestyle Medicine and earning her certification in health and wellness coaching.

🌟 Empowering Women in Healthcare:

Driven by a passion to help women in healthcare not just survive but thrive, Dr. Esparaz employs evidence-based lifestyle medicine approaches. Recently, Dr. Esparaz deliberately decided to step back from performing cataract surgery, a choice we'll discuss. We'll talk about how female doctors are still valuable even if they let go of their careers or choose to go part-time.
