Episode 75: Unveiling The Power Of Lifestyle Medicine And Impact On Physician Well-being
Welcome to Episode 75 of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast!
In this episode, we dive into a compelling conversation with Dr. Robyn Tiger, a double board-certified physician, as she shares her remarkable journey from burnout symptoms to establishing a practice focused on the overall well-being of physicians.
Dr. Tiger's story begins at an annual event where she felt like an outsider until she discovered lifestyle medicine, which focuses on addressing root causes and implementing key behavioural pillars.
We explore her shift from traditional Western medicine to lifestyle medicine, emphasizing the importance of small, achievable changes and her involvement in creating programs to address stress and promote wellness in the medical community.
Join us as we uncover the invaluable insights and practices Dr. Tiger offers for managing stress, addressing trauma, and fostering a healthier, more sustainable clinical approach.
Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:
1️. Lifestyle Medicine: Dr. Tiger's experience highlights the profound impact of lifestyle medicine in addressing the root causes of symptoms, illnesses, and diseases.
