Weight Loss for Busy Physicians | ​​Helping Women Physicians Lose Weight for the Last Time

We’re talking about something a little different in this episode, and that’s shame around reproductive struggles. 

This looks different for everyone. For some it might be going through IVF, for others, it could be experiencing a miscarriage, or maybe making the decision not to have children. Whatever it is that you’re struggling with, you’re not alone. I think we need to talk about these things more because a lot of women do feel alone in these experiences, and that can contribute to feelings of shame. 

In this episode, I’m sharing five things that you can try to overcome feelings of shame. Let’s talk about these things together so that we can all feel a little less shame and a little more self-acceptance. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• My experiences with reproductive shame 
• The stigma around infertility and mental health
• Ways to overcome feelings of shame 

If you or a loved one are going through a difficult time with your reproductive health, I hope this episode offers some comfort.

Can I share a quote with you that I came across recently?

“One of the hardest things to do in life is letting go of what you thought was real.”

I read this and I knew I wanted to talk about it with you on the podcast because it’s something that shows up more in life than you might realize. 

I think there are two ways of looking at this. There’s a more obvious interpretation and there’s a more obscure one, and I’m here to unpack both of them.

This is an episode about stepping out of your comfort zone, believing in yourself, and going after what you want. Who’s with me?

Topics covered in this episode include:

• What it means to let go of what you thought was real 
• How holding onto what you think is real can hold you back 
• Why letting go of familiar thoughts can be scary

Tune in to let go of what you thought was real and embrace a new reality.

Have you ever wondered if my approach to coaching is the same as intuitive eating?

This has come up a few times with my clients, so I thought it might be helpful to break down what intuitive eating is and how it compares to coaching. 

There are a lot of amazing principles in the intuitive eating approach that I completely agree with and teach in my own coaching sessions, but there are also a few areas where I think it’s lacking, and I’ll explain why in this episode. 

Before we dive in, I want you to know that I always support you in doing what is best for you, whether that’s intuitive eating, coaching, both, or neither! 


Topics covered in this episode include:

• The differences and similarities between intuitive eating and weight loss coaching 
• Where to find actionable steps to help you create awareness around food
• Accepting your body and rejecting harmful behavior

Have you been putting off going to the doctor’s office?

You would think that as doctors we would have no problem going to get medical care for ourselves, but it’s actually pretty common for doctors to avoid going to the doctor’s office. This comes up again and again for my clients and I’ve dealt with it too, so if this is something you struggle with, you’re not alone. 

Why is it that we avoid going to a doctor? It turns out avoiding the doctor is not that different from avoiding lots of other things in life. In this episode of Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, let’s get to the bottom of what causes avoidance and how to make it easier for yourself to schedule that doctor's appointment. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• What motivates avoidance 
• Why you need to build a strong relationship with yourself 
• How to get the support you need to finally do the thing you’ve been avoiding

If you know you need to schedule a doctor’s appointment but you’re having a hard time bringing yourself to do it, this is for you. Tune in and we’ll work on it together!
