The Limitless MD

GLP-1s are in every medical conversation right now. In this episode, I slow the conversation down and ask a harder question: what are we actually trading for rapid weight loss? I sat down with Zeke Samples to examine why so many patients are drawn to appetite suppression and quick fixes.

We explored what doesn’t always make it into the exam room conversation and the downstream effects of relying on pharmacology without building sustainable habits. We also discussed the clinical tension many physicians feel, wanting to help patients see results while knowing that muscle preservation, metabolic flexibility, and resilience matter far more than the number on the scale.

We talked about reducing friction through stress regulation and simple nutritional guidelines that patients can maintain. Zeke shared a framework that prioritizes consistency over intensity and behavior change over suppression. If you’re a physician looking to improve outcomes without sacrificing long-term health, this one is for you!

“Metabolism 101: You're either a fat burner, or you're a sugar burner.” ~ Zeke Samples

In this special episode of Limitless MD, I’m sharing highlights from some of the most impactful moments in 2025. We start with Dr. Ryan Mallory, who shares how the traditional W2 physician model is limiting, compared to the freedom enjoyed by locum physicians. He left the constraints of being a salaried cardiologist and embraced locum work, which gives him control over his time, allowing him to work fewer days and spend more time with his family.

Dr. Kristine Goins describes her journey of overcoming self-limiting beliefs and finding ways to blend career and freedom. As the founder of Nomad MD, she empowers physicians to explore work-from-anywhere opportunities while still excelling in their field. Greg Dickerson gives his perspective on leadership, effective delegation, and scaling businesses, particularly for medical professionals looking to grow their practices or side hustles.

Finally, Dr. Mike Van Thielen talks about his groundbreaking work on biohacking, focusing on how physicians and high performers can unlock "zone" productivity and regain control of their time through structured rituals.

If you’re ready to take control of your time and income, as well as learn how to thrive in both your professional and personal life in 2026, this episode is for you!

In This Episode:

- Exploring locum tenens with Ryan Mallory

- How much can you earn as a locum?

-The Nomad MD: living and working anywhere

- Greg Dickerson on mastering people and leadership skills

- How to supercharge your productivity with Dr. Mike

Are you thriving as a physician, or just getting by? In today’s episode, I sit down with Erika Czerwinski, a clinical psychologist and founder of Eleos, who’s dedicated to helping high-achieving doctors break free from the cycle of burnout and rediscover their sense of self. We explore how many physicians unknowingly disconnect from their emotions and go through the motions rather than truly living. 

Erika shares her fascinating approach to healing, which blends cutting-edge psychedelic therapies with a deep, introspective look into the physician’s inner world. She explains how doctors, who are experts at compartmentalizing their pain to serve others, often fail to notice the silent toll it takes on their relationships, health, and happiness.  

If you’re a doctor who feels like something’s missing, but you can’t put your finger on it, this one is for you. Don’t let the weight of “performing” take you away from living life. Tune in now to learn how you can reclaim your energy, passion, and purpose. 

 “The health and energy you possess is your highest currency.” ~ Erika Czerwinski

In This Episode:

- Erika's transition from working with young adults to physicians

- Warning signs of burnout and emotional disconnection

- The difference between endurance and resilience in physicians

- Diagnostic tools for measuring physician burnout and well-being

- Creating a safe space for physicians to rediscover their happiness

- Ketamine-assisted therapy: background and how it works

- Benefits of community and vulnerability at Eleos physician retreats

- Advice for high-achievers who are at a plateau

What’s the difference between a $10m, $100m, and $1b lifestyle? Sam Parr, founder of Hampton, asked this question in his community to determine how people live and feel at various liquid asset milestones. In this episode, I examine the participants' responses and their implications for doctors seeking to build wealth.

We examine how wealth levels impact lifestyle choices, financial security, and personal fulfillment. We’ll also talk about the importance of cash flow over net worth, the concept of 'memory dividends,' and why focusing on health, family, philanthropy, and community is critical at all levels of wealth.

 “There's a problem with too little money, but there's also a problem with too much money.” ~ Dr. Vikram Raya

Success isn’t a six-lane highway. It’s a lonely, bumpy back road filled with self-doubt and lessons that forge unshakable endurance. In this solo episode, I open up about what it really looks like behind the scenes of building multiple seven- and eight-figure companies: the late nights, the tough calls, the inner battles, and the moments when you question if it’s all worth it. 

I share raw insights from my journey through four ventures and the pivotal moments that taught me to embrace discomfort, make bold moves, and trust the process even when the applause fades. You’ll learn how to navigate crises, why pattern recognition separates good leaders from great ones, and how thinking in decades, not days, transforms your impact and peace of mind.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your pursuit of success, this is your reminder that solitude sharpens mastery. Stay focused, stay disciplined, and keep driving toward greatness.

 “Success leaves clues. Your job is to spot them naturally and amplify them.” ~ Dr. Vikram Raya

- Lessons from adversity in Viking Capital

- Thinking in decades, not days

- The birth of Limitless MD and transformational coaching

When you think about building wealth in medicine, do you picture yourself working at one job until retirement? My guest today, Kristin Burton, proves there’s a better way. She began her career like many of us, buried in student loan debt and working long hours. After paying off $161,000 in just 16 months, she realized financial freedom was about more than debt elimination. 

Kristin shares how she shifted her focus from paying bills to building assets, investing aggressively in her twenties, and eventually creating income streams outside of medicine. We talk about the mindset shifts healthcare professionals must make to get ahead, and Kristin also shares how she helps other PAs, NPs, and PharmDs rethink their financial journey, create sustainable wealth, and avoid burnout in medicine. 

If you’re wondering whether it’s possible to thrive in your career, grow your wealth, and still have time for family and passions, this episode is for you!

 “If you can create a gap between your expenses and income and then create some assets with the gap, it's almost inevitable that you're gonna end up building some wealth.” ~ Kristin Burton

- Kristin Burton’s journey of paying $161k in student debt

- What steps did she take toward becoming a millionaire?
