Dr. Megan Melo is a family and metabolic health physician, coach, mom, and advocate for physicians battling burnout. In this episode, she shares her deeply personal journey from feeling broken in a demanding healthcare system to building a career that honors both her values and well-being.
Dr. Melo opens up about the pressures she faced in traditional practice—juggling perfectionism, people-pleasing, and unrealistic expectations—and how she carved a new path. She talks us through the steps she took to leave big-box medicine, the emotional preparation required, and how she found empowerment through coaching and independent practice.
Tune in to hear how Dr. Melo reclaimed her joy in medicine, built a sustainable life on her own terms, and how she helps other physicians do the same.
