Description

You've delivered babies, managed codes, diagnosed complex cases. So why can't you figure out your eating?

If you've ever thought "I'm a doctor, I should know better" while reaching for food you didn't plan to eat, this episode is for you. I break down exactly why food feels so much harder than everything else you've mastered - and why it has nothing to do with being stupid or lacking knowledge.

You'll learn the five real reasons physicians struggle with food (none of them are what you think), why focusing on the food itself is like watching the magician's assistant instead of where the trick actually happens, and how shame creates a brick wall that blocks any chance of change.

This episode is perfect for any woman physician who's tired of feeling like she's the only smart person who can't figure out something that "should be simple."
