Best of 2025: Doctors’ Top Tips for Work‑Life Balance, Locums & Peak Performance

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.
