The Self-Care Paradox: Why Physicians Skip What They Know Would Help

from Thriving As A Physician: How to Lose Weight & Love Your Life · host Dr. Siobhan Key, MD

Ever notice how you know exactly what would make you feel better, but somehow never actually do it? This episode tackles the self-care paradox that's messing with every physician I know. We're wired to respond to urgency, but self-care isn't urgent - so it gets pushed to "later" and later never comes. I'll tell you why your medical training is working against you here, how to think about outcomes instead of tasks, and share my simple morning routine that creates spaciousness even on tough days. Perfect for any physician who's tired of running on empty and ready to stop treating herself worse than her patients. Listen today and share with someone who may need this.
