Weight Loss For Busy Physicians

How do you go about asking for what you want in the workplace?No one really teaches you how to have difficult conversations when it comes to asking for the compensation you deserve, so it can be hard to speak up and advocate for yourself.The reality is if we want to have any hope of closing the gender pay gap in medicine then we have to learn to ask for what we want. On top of that, you deserve to be paid for your value!Our guest, Linda Street, MD, is a former client turned negotiation coach who is also a physician in practice right now. She’s here to teach us about negotiation. Dr. Linda Street is a board-certified Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist and Life Coach who focuses specifically on physician negotiations. She is the Founder and CEO of Simply Street MD Negotiation Coaching where she helps female physicians take charge of their lives and negotiate for the salary they deserve. She lives and breathes to close the gender gap, starting with you!Whether you're overdue a raise, you’re applying for job

I want to propose an alternative to work/life balance. What if we worked towards work/life alignment instead? I don’t know about you, but I cringe when I hear the term “work/life balance.” The more we try to achieve it, the worse we feel about ourselves. For something to be balanced, it has to be perfectly matched on both sides, and I just don’t think that’s realistic when it comes to work and life. That’s why I prefer to think of getting my work and life aligned. In this episode, I’m talking about the difference between balance and alignment and why I think one makes more sense than the other when it comes to our work and lives. If you feel defeated constantly trying to find the perfect balance, I feel you, and I’m here to give you permission to stop. All show notes are available at  https://katrinaubellmd.com/podcast!!Resources Mentioned:Free Resources on My Website: katrinaubellmd.com/resourcesLeave a Review of My Book: https://a.co/d/4BwGZ6vGet the Guarantee Your Weight Loss Success workshop now at katrin

This is the first episode in the New Year, New Thoughts series that I’m hosting here on the podcast.I’m rejecting the concept of “new year, new you,” because I don’t think you need to be a new you. I think it’s okay to accept yourself just the way you are right now. In this series, I’ll be elaborating on some of the chapters from my book, How to Lose Weight for the Last Time: Brain-Based Solutions for Permanent Weight Loss. I’ll talk about what is said in the book, and then I’ll dive deeper into it here on the podcast. This episode is all about chapter 2, “Emotional Eating: Why You Always Want Food,” and we’re talking about how to change your food-related thoughts. If you ever feel powerless against your thoughts about food, this episode is for you.All show notes are available at  https://katrinaubellmd.com/podcast!!Resources Mentioned:Weight Loss for Doctors Only: katrinaubellmd.com/infoLeave a Review of My Book: https://a.co/d/4BwGZ6vGet the Guarantee Your Weight Loss Success workshop now at katrinaubellmd.

Could you use some help processing a loss or supporting someone else through their loss?Those of you who have been around for a while might recognize our guest in this episode, Krista St-Germain, from her earlier episodes on the podcast. Krista is here to talk about how to cope with loss and grief. She’s sharing some of the latest research and insights into grief, what the grief plateau is, and the tools you can use to cope with a loss. Krista St-Germain is a Master Certified Life Coach, Post-Traumatic Growth and grief expert, widow, mom, and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast.

Why is it so hard to break old habits and create new ones?Really it comes down to the science behind how your brain works. The more you think a certain thought, the more you strengthen that neural pathway in your brain, and the easier it becomes to think that thought again. In this episode, we’re talking about the challenges of blazing new neural pathways alone vs. with help. I have quite a story for you to illustrate my point that involves a very chaotic family ski trip and a lot of learning curves. If you want to learn how to effectively change habits or create new ones, this episode is for you. All show notes are available at  https://katrinaubellmd.com/podcast!!Resources Mentioned:Weight Loss for Doctors Only: katrinaubellmd.com/infoLeave a Review of My Book: https://a.co/d/4BwGZ6vGet the Guarantee Your Weight Loss Success workshop now at katrinaubellmd.com/book!

Do you struggle to spend money on yourself?Whenever the Weight Loss for Doctors Only program opens up, I hear from women physicians who are interested in it but can’t bring themselves to sign up. They want results, they know it would help them, but they just can’t do it. I want to explore why we struggle so much to invest in ourselves. As a doctor, you are highly influential in other people’s lives, so it’s logical that when you are at your best physically and mentally, you are better able to positively influence the lives that you touch. If investing in yourself is the way to achieve that, isn’t it the best thing to do? In this episode, I'm teaching you how to reframe your thinking about investing in yourself and sharing an example from my life of a time I almost talked myself out of investing in myself. If you feel guilty about spending money on yourself, this is for you. All show notes are available at  https://katrinaubellmd.com/podcast!!Resources Mentioned:Leave a Review of My Book: https://a.co/d/4

You might have heard of toxic positivity, but have you heard of toxic independence?In this episode, we’re talking about how to move away from toxic independence and closer to an appropriate amount of independence. You’ll learn what toxic independence is, where it comes from, and how to overcome it. You might be surprised to learn as you listen that you have more toxic independence traits than you think! I was surprised too. I hope this episode helps you become more aware of your own thoughts and actions and maybe even start to depend on others a little (or a lot) more. If the thought of giving up your independence makes you cringe, don’t panic. It will all make sense when you tune in. All show notes are available at https://katrinaubellmd.com/podcast!!Resources Mentioned:10 Behaviors That Reveal Toxic Independence | Power of Positivity Article: https://www.powerofpositivity.com/independence-toxic-behaviors/What's Wrong With Being Independent? | Psychology Today Article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us

Have you ever had a little stumble and felt like you ruined your whole plan; like you’ll never be able to lose that weight?If you stumbled on the sidewalk, it wouldn’t stop you from ever going for a walk again, right? So how do we take that approach to stumbling and apply it to weight loss? We all stumble physically and sometimes we stumble figuratively on our journeys to weight loss or freedom around food. In this episode, I’m teaching you how to handle a little stumble so that it doesn’t ruin your day or your plan. There’s no way you’re going to go through the process of losing weight permanently without having some stumbles, so you’re better off preparing for them than trying to pretend they’ll never happen.

Many physicians experience burnout at some stage in their careers, putting themselves, their patients, and even their colleagues at risk. With the amount of responsibility and ever-increasing hours, it’s not hard to see why this is such a common occurrence. However, this inability to find a work-life balance is not sustainable and should not just be accepted as the norm. So, in this episode, Dr. Jimmy Turner, an academic anesthesiologist and a certified coach for physicians, will join the show to share his advice for creating the time and mindset shifts you need to create a life you love.

Do you pay attention to the way in which you think about aging? And in particular, what you think about yourself as you age? You may not realize that there are sneaky ways in which your own self-talk can actually hold you back, and that’s exactly what I’m diving into in this episode. Listen in as I explore how our thoughts and our words can have a dramatic effect on how we view not only aging, but ourselves as we age (or go through any major change, including pregnancy and birth!), and how a small shift in our own self-talk can create an amazing ripple effect in the rest of our lives.
