DR. MIRIAM ZYLBERGLAIT LISIGURSKI: The 3G's for well-being: Goal, Grit and Growth & The Truth About Doctor Burnout

In Episode 69, Love Conquers Alz hosts, Susie Singer Carter and Don Priess, cover a wide range of timely topics with the extremely accomplished mother, wife, educator, and physician, DR. MIRIAM ZYLBERGLAIT LISIGURSKI. Dr. Z is a triple Board-Certified Physician in Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, and Obesity Medicine with extensive clinical and academic experience. Dr. Z is also a well-being advocate with a strong focus on burnout, mental health, and leadership development.  Dr. Z discusses how her advocacy led her to author, “The 3G Cycle of Life. The Secrets for Achieving Joy, Meaning, and Well-being,” in which she asks readers to imagine life as a sequence of cycles instead of a unidirectional line, where each cycle consists of basic three components: Goal, Grit, and Growth, as well as catalysts that may facilitate or hinder your progress throughout life. Dr. Z provides a broad vision of how to use each component of the 3G Cycle in your favor, even during the most challenging circumstances, to avoid the negative consequences of chronic stress and burnout. The book includes more than thirty experts' personal and professional experiences, evidence-based data, and Dr. Z's insights and stories. Dr. Z also candidly discusses the current phenomenon of “doctor burnout”.  She blames it on a Healthcare system that does not allow doctors to practice the way that they want to. Dr. Z says there is a very big gap between what many doctors think medicine should be and what they are doing every day. Originally from Peru, Dr. Z has two awesome sons, a caring husband, and and is a caregiver for her mother who was recently diagnosed with dementia. Her dream is to help others achieve lives full of joy, meaning, and well-being.PURCHASE DR. Z'S BOOK HEREFOLLOW DR.
