Traveling and going on vacation can throw a major wrench in your weight loss journey. Suddenly, you're faced with unfamiliar routines and food options that can derail your progress. It's like all your hard work goes up in flames until you return home.

But as a physician, traveling is often unavoidable due to conferences, meetings, and vacations. That's why mastering the skill of managing your eating while still enjoying your trip is absolutely crucial.

In this episode, I'm sharing my personal tips on how I've learned to approach travel differently. 

We just got back from a week-long road trip filled with challenges, and I'm giving you an inside look at how I navigated them.

Binge eating is a common issue and binge eating disorder is the most common eating disorder.  It is also one of the least talked about issues in weight loss.  In this episode I will discuss my approach to stopping binge eating with compassion.  It is possible to find lasting control, but you have to understand the behavior first.

Holiday treats everywhere? Feeling out of control?

In part three of the Thriving as a Physician Podcast holiday series, Dr. Siobhan Key dives into how to navigate holiday treats without guilt or frustration.

You’ll learn:

• How to enjoy your favorite treats while feeling in control.
• Why treating holiday food as scarce or forbidden leads to overeating—and how to stop.
• How stress (not the food itself) fuels cravings, and simple steps to manage it.
• The mindset shift that helps you stay aligned with your goals.

This episode is packed with insights and tools to help you thrive during the holidays, no matter how busy you are. Listen now on your favourite podcast player. 

There is an epidemic of physicians trying to lose weight while completely not trusting themselves to do so.

It just doesn’t work that way.

In this episode, I will teach you why STARTING with trust is one of the most important tools you can use to ensure your success.

Do you have a secret voice that whispers in your ear about how you may not be measuring up? Or maybe some days it yells in your face that you are doing it all wrong?

You are not alone.

In this episode I talk about Radical Self-Acceptance; what it is and how you can learn to accept yourself exactly as you are right now. And how this is required to reach your goals.

Click the link to listen to the full episode and start feeling the relief self acceptance brings.

Ever feel like you’re making progress with your eating and weight goals, only to hit a roadblock that throws everything off? You’re not alone. Obstacles like stress, chaotic schedules, and exhaustion are normal, especially for busy physicians. But without the right skills to handle them, it’s easy to feel stuck and defeated.

In this episode of Thriving as a Physician, I share 4 simple steps to overcome obstacles without spiraling into guilt or panic. You’ll learn how to stop thinking setbacks mean failure, why obstacles are part of the process, and how to troubleshoot challenges to keep moving forward.

This is the missing skill diet culture never taught you. Let’s change that.

Listen now and take back control of your progress!

Where are you holding yourself back? In your weight loss? In your life?

As women physicians, we have achieved a lot and yet often carry self doubt in various areas of our lives.

 Listen to this episode (recorded while I was at a coaching conference) about how we are all holding ourselves back and how it impacts your weight loss journey.

What are the beliefs you hold about what you “should” be able to eat or not eat? Have you ever wondered where they came from? In this episode I am looking at the common beliefs that create food entitlement and how they are preprogramming from our culture. Learn how to manage them by listening to the episode.

Let’s talk about people pleasing. It can be tricky to notice and yet is an underlying driver for a lot of eating. Plus it is done at the expense of yourself.  Learn how to manage this and put yourself on your priority list with this episode.

It’s time to stop depending on restriction to lose weight.

Restriction only works in the short term.  In the long term it actually makes you eat more and keeps you on the one again/off again train.

Hard to believe? Then you need to have a listen to my interview with Dr. Megan Melo on this week’s Thriving As A Physician Podcast episode.

What if you were the best person to decide how you eat? 

You do not need perfection to lose weight. You need consistency to lose weight.

Wanna know the right way to lose weight?

Sorry, but there is no “one right way” and as long as we are trying to find the “right way”, it keeps you stuck in the cycle of feeling like a failure.

Instead, let’s talk about finding the right way for YOU.

In this episode, I’ll show how this small shift will make a huge difference to your weight and eating journey.  It’s a game changer.

It can feel scary to F@#k up in your weight loss.

And as physicians, we are trained to avoid mistakes at all costs.

What would it be like to feel 100% certainty in your goals? I’m going to teach you some simple tools to create sustainable, lasting results in this episode. Know that whenever you set yourself a goal, your brain creates resistance. It tells you “there’s no evidence you can do this! What if you fail?” Let’s overcome that today.

How do you navigate the confusion and resistance your brain throws at you when you decide your goals? First, understand why it is creating this resistance. It comes down to a fear of failure and a primal fear of risk exposure. Your brain looks for evidence that you can reach your goals, but what if there isn’t any?

You can choose to disregard what your brain tells you. Acknowledge it, but don’t buy into it. No one can know what will happen in the future; the only way to find out is to try. How do you try? You begin by trying on the persona of 100% certainty that you will reach your goal.

Living in 100% certainty that you are reaching your goal makes decision making simpler. Knowing that you are going to reach your goal, the things you need to reach it become just a matter of fact. The mental tug of war with yourself becomes a thing of the past. The background chatter stops and taking action becomes just a straightforward part of your day.

I want to leave you with this thought. If believing with 100% certainty feels this good, why wouldn’t you believe it? You can choose what you believe.

Neutral is powerful.  In this episode, I am showing you why feeling neutral about the weight loss process and everything that is involved is the best place to be.  We can sustain neutral emotions and keep taking action a lot easier than we can with either positive or negative emotions.  Positive or negative can trip us up.  Neutral lets us keep going.

Do you wish you could leave work with your notes and paperwork done? To have your evenings and weekends to yourself again? The chronic stress of always having work to finish is significant and can lead to overeating.

This week I’m happy to welcome Dr. Sarah Smith, MD from https://www.chartingcoach.ca.  She is giving you her best tips to leave work at work and gift yourself freedom from night charting.

The pandemic has impacted stress eating for many physicians. In this episode, I am reviewing the impacts on the past year and also discussing approaches moving forward to feel in control of your eating whether you are still facing significant restrictions or your life is opening up a bit.

Tired of diets that don’t work and leave you feeling defeated? In this episode, I share a total mindset flip that changed everything for me and hundreds of physicians I've coached.

Instead of trying to fit into someone else's "fixed menu" diet plan, I show you how to shift your focus to putting you at the centre of your plan.  Selecting and adapting tools so they meet you exactly where you are right now (and work way better for you).

You'll discover why you're already amazing (not broken!), how to design an approach tailored to YOUR preferences and schedule, and why this personalized approach leads to better results with way less struggle.

Perfect for physicians who think, "I know what to do but can't make myself do it consistently." It's time to put yourself at the center of your weight loss journey!

“If I could just get through this week… If the system would change… If I had more time… then I’d feel better.”

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Physicians everywhere are carrying the weight of impossible expectations, exhaustion, and a system that often feels broken. But what if the path to feeling better isn’t as far away as it seems?

In this powerful kickoff to the "Thriving in 2025" series on Thriving As A Physician, I sit down with Dr. Kathy Stepien, pediatrician and founder of the Institute for Physician Wellness, to uncover the real keys to physician wellness—and why they might be smaller (and closer) than you think.

We dive into:

• The 3 layers of physician wellness: personal, organizational, and cultural.

• How a 10-minute break at lunch can shift your entire day.

• Why boundaries aren’t harsh—they’re essential.

• The life-changing impact of self-compassion.

This isn’t about waiting for the system to change—it’s about reclaiming your power, one intentional step at a time.

There are probably a lot of things you trust yourself for.  But is weight loss one of them?

Shame is a tricky emotion that often goes unseen, seeping into every aspect of your life. 

Maybe it feels like a necessary truth-teller, but it often leads to feelings of worthlessness and a cycle of harmful habits. 

You don't have to stay stuck in this cycle. The first step is to intentionally shift away from shame. 

Listen to this episode to hear how I'm working to do this in my own life and how you can start too.

Are you staring at the scale, wondering why it isn't moving despite your best efforts? You're making the right choices, staying disciplined, but the number seems stubbornly stuck. I know how frustrating and disheartening this can be because I've been there too.

I understand the temptation to revert to old eating habits or try an entirely new approach in hopes of a quick fix. However, I want to emphasize that these drastic measures often slow us down in the long run.

Usually, it's just one or two small adjustments that can kickstart your progress again. I'll share the approach I use with members of the Thrive Academy for Physicians when they face this issue. 

In this episode, you'll learn how to avoid common mistakes and problem-solve without throwing all your hard work out the window.

Small changes can lead to significant results, and patience is key. Tune in to discover how to turn your frustration into a learning experience and a stepping stone towards your weight management goals.

Weight loss plateaus are frustrating as a physician. Especially when you feel like you’re doing everything “right.” In this episode, I share the four common pitfalls that keep physicians stuck:

• Assuming everything needs to change
• Trying to give up the foods you love
• Getting impatient and giving up
• Relying solely on the scale to measure progress

Listen to the episode to learn practical steps for overcoming these pitfalls and finding a way forward without turning your life upside down.

In this episode I am talking about digging up old beliefs. Old thoughts or habits that come from an old belief and how they impact you today.

Listen to the full episode to learn how you can recognize your old beliefs and change them to feel empowered and build momentum. 

We know what we should be eating. So why is it so hard to stick to that diet?  Changing what you believe about weight loss will transform your experience and make it so much easier to reach your goals. Download my free resource on powerful weight loss beliefs here:

You don't have to struggle anymore. The right beliefs will change everything.

As physicians, we’re used to setting high standards in every area of life, but when it comes to our bodies, we’re often our harshest critics. In this episode, I dive into why we judge ourselves so harshly, where those negative thoughts come from, and how to shift your mindset.

I share my own experience of feeling bloated after a special dinner and how one critical thought sparked anger about how society has programmed us to see our bodies. This isn’t just about “loving yourself”—it’s about rejecting those outside voices and reclaiming your self-worth.

Binge Eating Disorder is the most common eating disorder and is rarely talked about. It can feel so overwhelming and hard to control.  If you struggle with binge eating, then this episode is for you!

Do you feel like food takes up too much space in your brain? You’re between patients, driving home, or sitting with your family, and your thoughts keep circling back to what you ate—or what you should eat next.

As physicians, we’re trained to fix problems with effort and focus. But when it comes to food, working harder doesn’t help. It just leaves us feeling frustrated, exhausted, and stuck.

In this episode of Thriving As A Physician, I’ll show you how to:

• Break free from food obsession and stop the endless mental tug-of-war.

• Understand the real reasons physicians feel out of control with eating.

• Use three simple, powerful tools to feel calm, confident, and in control around food.

If you’re ready to quiet the food noise and reclaim your mental space, this episode is for you.

Ever found yourself reaching for an extra snack when you're not even hungry? Yeah, it feels like that cookie is practically calling your name. But why does this happen?

Often, there are hidden eating triggers at work. In this episode I'm diving into the most common triggers that physicians face. 

These are the hidden drivers of eating that show up again and again when I am coaching physicians on their eating.

By focussing on hidden drivers like these, managing your eating becomes simpler and you feel more in control.

What you believe is EVERYTHING in weight loss.  When you start trying to lose weight with the same old limiting beliefs, it is like pulling a wagon full of bricks towards your goals.  It’s hard!

But these limiting beliefs are sneaky! You may not notice them right away because they sound so much like fact.

This episode is a replay of one of the most popular episodes on the podcast.  Even if you listened to it when it originally came out, listen to it again.

Raise your hand if you learned that physicians are notorious for being “bad at money” 🙋‍♀️

The reality is, money doesn’t have to be hard. Physicians don’t have to feel insecure about navigating their finances.

And feeling more in control of your finances will help you feel more in control with your eating.

Listen to this episode for a special interview with Dr. Latifat Akintade. She is sharing a ton of practical money tips.

Dr. Akintade shows women physicians how to take control of their finances, so they can have money and create wealth without working extra shifts or sacrificing their wellbeing.
