DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast

“What do you recommend for a work situation where you don’t move all day and are feeling unhealthy? I start work two hours early in order to complete charts, I don’t get a lunch break and I often stay late to finish my work load. My colleagues do the same but seem totally fine with it. I’m too exhausted on either side of the day to go to the gym, I know it’s not healthy but haven’t figured out a solution.”   You know how important physical movement is as it’s connected to our physical health as well as our mental health. But have you figured out how to incorporate it into your busy schedule? We’re here to help! Join Gabriella and Jill as they sit down to answer one of your questions this week on Q&A Friday.   Helpful links: A 7 minute workout- https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-minute-workout/ Exercise helps us process stress. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/exercising-to-relax Mulitasking doesn’t work. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/science-clear-multitasking-doesnt-work/   To learn more about DocWorking, visit https://docworking.com   Are you a physician who would like to tell your story?

“That reminds me of Richard Branson, the billionaire entrepreneur. People have asked him often, what is his key to success and one of the things he says is, I’m just not as afraid of failure as everybody else because I learn something so important every time something goes different than what I planned it to be. He doesn’t even say something goes wrong or ‘I failed.’ And so that reminds me so much of listening to your stories of being able to say ‘Oh yeah, I thought it would go that way, but look how it’s gone differently.’ I mean it’s no surprise to me that you became a scientist and that you have solved so many problems for so many people because you look at each problem as possibility, not as a measure of your self worth immediately in the moment whether it goes exactly as planned. So I love that.”- Jill Farmer Join co-lead Coach, Jill Farmer as she sits down with the fascinating Dr. Lilit Garibyan, MD PhD. They discuss Dr. Garibyan’s four keys to success that led a 12 year old immigrant to become one of the leaders and great innovators in her field of medicine at Harvard University: Trust that we can learn and explore when we are in difficult situations.  You don’t have to know everything to be an expert. Every problem can be a possibility. Be a Trail Blazer. When you’re on that journey to the unknown, commit to it and execute.  This is the hero’s part of the journey where you have to stick with it and power through. Recognize that there will be ups and downs. There always are, even for the most successful people in the world. Tune in to get inspired and learn The Four Pillars that have served Dr. Garibyan throughout her life. Dr. Garibyan is a board certified dermatologist who specializes in medical, surgical and cosmetic/laser dermatology. She is also a lecturer in dermatology at Harvard Medical School where she conducts cutting-edge and innovative research in dermatology. She is the co-founder of the Magic Wand Initiative MagicWandInitiative.org info@magicwandinitiative.org  Find more info on Dr. Garibyan here: https://madermatology.com/team/lilit-garibyan-m-d/   To learn more about DocWorking, visit https://docworking.com   We’re everywhere you like to get your podcasts! Apple iTunes, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google, PlayerFM, ListenNotes, Amazon, YouTube, Podbean   Are you a physician who would like to tell your story?

“I admit that I’m a recovering people pleaser. In that recovery process, I thought, ‘something is wrong, I feel irritated by what this person just said to me. But I can’t seem to stop it because I’m here to serve. Therefore it’s okay, I’ll just tolerate what is happening.’ And it could be any number of examples, whether it was patients, colleagues, or even at home.  I wasn’t terribly good at setting boundaries. And it became clear that it was exhausting, and really not a very self honoring situation to be in. So I had to learn how to to do it. It is not a skill I was born with. I don’t know if it’s a skill anyone is born with, and to be honest it is something you need to cultivate over time.” - Coach Gabriella Dennery MD   Join co-lead Coaches at DocWorking, Gabriella Dennery MD and Jill Farmer as they sit down to talk boundaries. We learn why boundaries are important and that they aren’t just important for us, but also for the people in our lives. We learn that having boundaries isn’t mean, it is actually helpful and the kind thing to do. Not having clear boundaries makes life and relationships messy but having clear boundaries cleans things up. Listen to find out how to implement boundaries in your life and live with the freedom it gives to you and those around you!   To learn more about DocWorking, visit docworking.com   We’re everywhere you like to get your podcasts! Apple iTunes, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Google, PlayerFM, ListenNotes, Amazon, YouTube, Podbean   Are you a physician who would like to tell your story?
