Litigation is a taboo subject in the medical field, but what if we could change that?


A lot of doctors live in fear of one day being sued but not a lot of us talk about it. By bringing it up on the Weight Loss for Busy Physicians podcast, I hope that we can open up the discussion and make it less of a scary subject. 


Dr. Gita Pensa is joining us to discuss how we can support doctors (including ourselves) through litigation so they make it out in one piece rather than broken apart by trauma. She’s sharing why things have to change and how that change starts with us. 


Gita S. Pensa, M.D. is a speaker, educator, coach, and creator of “Doctors and Litigation: The L Word.” She helps good doctors manage the stressors of adverse events, litigation, and burnout.


Topics covered in this episode include:

• What to do if you’re named in a malpractice case
• Who to talk to about what you’re going through 
• How to help yourself and other doctors feel less isolated
• Overcoming fear of litigation 

Whether you or someone you know is going through a malpractice case or you want to be better prepared to support doctors in your community, this is an important episode for everyone to hear.

What if I told you you could ditch the concept of portion control, never think about it again, and still lose weight?


I’m here to challenge some widely held beliefs about portion control because, to be honest, I don’t like it and I don’t think it’s helpful. Many of us feel like we have to use portion control to lose weight even though we don’t enjoy it and it doesn’t feel good. I don’t know about you, but that’s not how I want to live my life. 


Tune into this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians to hear more about why I’m choosing to reject portion control and what alternatives I’d suggest. 


Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why portion control is not the only way to stop overeating 
• How portion control causes you to eat more 
• How to lose weight without portion control 

Gone are the days of using food and portion control as weapons against ourselves! You deserve more and I’m here to help you find it.

Do you spend more time thinking about how you feel or how you look?


Like so many of us, you’ve probably been conditioned to put more importance on how you look. There’s not necessarily anything wrong with that, but if it’s at the cost of how you feel, it might be time for something to change.


In this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, we’re exploring the difference between how you feel and how you look and how to shift your priorities from one to the other.


I’m here to help you create the relationship with food and your body that you want. Not the relationship you think you should want, but the one you really, truly want. Taking care of your body and listening to how you feel is a big part of that. Let’s get started. 


Topics covered in this episode include:

• Why we often prioritize how we look over how we feel
• How to improve how you feel in your body 
• What happens when you prioritize how you feel

What if this one mindset shift could open up the path to peace and freedom around food and the relationship with your body that you’ve always wished for?
