Deciding on Your Goal Weight: An Interview with Dr. Sylvia Gonsahn-Bollie

Giving yourself permission to slow down and take care of yourself and your own well-being is a skill that I work on with Physicians inside the Thriving As A Physician program. This week on the podcast I share the importance of self-compassion and celebrating successes, as I share that I will be taking a break from recording consistent podcast episodes for personal reasons.  Tune in to hear how I am working on implementing some of the skills that I teach into my own daily routine.  **** Are you ready to go from “trying not to eat” to not being bothered by food after clinic?

Tough times are a part of life.  And they also are one of the biggest reasons physicians gain or regain weight. This all hit close to home this week for me with some tough family news. Which is why I recorded this episode.  I’m sharing how to manage the tough times in life without feeling completely derailed (and while still being nice to yourself) Have a listen and mark it so you can come back to it the next time something tough happens. **** Are you ready to go from “trying not to eat” to not being bothered by food after clinic?

As a physician, you probably think you shouldn’t struggle with eating or weight. I felt that way too (and spent a long time beating myself up about it) The reality is that there are very good reasons why food has such a strong pull for many of us as doctors. In this episode, I am sharing the top 5 reasons and how to start addressing them. If you want to change your relationship with food, start with focussing on these areas.

You know when you end up eating treats and don’t realize it until after the food is gone? It can be lightning quick between seeing the food and reaching for it. So then how do you feel in control when there isn’t even time to think? I cover that question and more in this episode.  Learn why mindless eating happens and what to do about it. **** Are you ready to go from “trying not to eat” to not being bothered by food after clinic?

The third and final session of the Binge Freedom Bootcamp is here.  I packed these live sessions with support and tools you need to start feeling in control of your eating. Listen to this full podcast episode because you deserve to have this information now so you can start feeling better this week.   Having binge eating is not your fault.  It makes sense that you struggle with it.   But binge eating won’t get better doing the same things you have always done.  If they were going to work, they would have by now.   It’s time that you arm yourself with a different approach that not only helps you feel more in control of your eating but also helps you feel better in the rest of your life. If you're ready to take that first step towards a life where food doesn't control your choices, I'm here to support you. Learn more about Thrive Academy for Physicians and apply to join us.

Do you ever crawl into bed feeling like your to-do list won the day? Or maybe you're beating yourself up because you think you're not doing enough for your kids' school events? Well, I've got something special for you. This week's podcast episode is a must-listen! We live these hectic lives of being doctors, moms, partners - and somewhere along the line, we internalized that we need to be perfect at all of it.  These hidden standards have a huge impact on how you feel in your days and also on your eating  (I mean, why wouldn’t you reach for extra snacks in the evening if you just spent your day telling yourself that you suck in multiple areas of your life??) Listen to this episode to learn where these hidden standards are showing up in your life and how to start to release them.  Small changes in this area will make you feel so much better! ****** Have you heard?  All month I’m offering free binge eating support inside the Binge Freedom Bootcamp.  If you are a physician who identifies with binge eating, you need to join us.
