Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week I am joined by Dr. Michelle Gordon to discuss about her shift from surgery to focusing on menopause management and lifestyle medicine, influenced by her experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Gordon highlights the importance of addressing hormonal changes, nutrition, and mindset to help women navigate menopause. She advocates for small, sustainable lifestyle changes and offers insights into the impact of diet on health, showcasing her holistic approach to wellness and healthcare.Dr. Gordon managed a multi-million dollar surgical practice from 2005 to 2020 and expanded it to include 5 surgeons. The relentless overnight ER calls, sleepless nights, and the corporate medicine environment, which often showed a lack of empathy towards doctors, along with a generalized discontent with the medical profession, led to her severe overwhelm and burnout. Her life, as she knew it, became unsustainable. Then came Covid... Working in medicine grew even more challenging and dangerous, not just for her but also for her family. Simply entering the hospital became a complicated ordeal. She made the difficult decision to close her successful practice to focus on recovery. As she healed, she discovered that bouncing back quickly from such adversities was possible with access to the right tools.
