I sat down with Dr. Varnado, MD, commonly known as Dr. V to her patients. She's an OB/GYN turned lifestyle medicine physician. After feeling burned out, losing her spark, asking for help, she changed her own narrative. She took her skills from bedside/OR to coaching, connecting with patients to get to the root of the problem as 80% of disease is caused by lifestyle, and her own podcast, Office Visits with Dr. V!

 As Dr. V said, “I started to lose my spark.”  She was tired, but of course she was tired from delivering babies….but we also know the following:

  • It is hard [medicine], we’re used to medicine being hard
  • Once we empower ourselves to do something, we’ll be better.
  • Advocate for yourself.
  • The government and admin will not change things.
  • We are literally dealing with life and death. Take care of yourself!
  • Your spirit knows!
  • If you don’t like where you are, change your narrative. Your family will reflect the difference.
  • We don’t have to have the life we were told we have to have. It can look like what you want it to look like.
  • You are worthy of the life you deserve it.
  • Ask for help!

Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice. This is only a tool that physicians can use to get ideas on how to deal with burnout and/or know they are not alone. If you are in need of medical assistance talk to your physician.
