Disordered eating, including eating disorders, are more common in physicians than you know. 

It’s yet another area of silent, shameful struggle for many people.

Today I am thrilled to be joined by a leader in this area, Dr Siobhan Key, a fellow Family and Obesity Medicine Physician, as well as a Physician Coach who specialized in helping physicians end their weight loss struggles. Siobhan’s podcast, Thriving As a Physician, was one of my first exposures to coaching in the physician space (as in physicians coaching physicians), and in this episode you’ll hear her wisdom and experience in working with so many who have struggled with weight and eating along their journeys into medicine, their experiences of burnout. 

This is a DO NOT MISS episode. Whether or not you identify with problems with your eating behaviors or weight, there are so many parallels with other ways that we cope with stress, that we internalize messages that we are broken, that we aren’t good enough, etc. 

To hear more of our conversation, I also encourage you to listen to Episode 293 of the “Thriving As a Physician” podcast, “How Restriction Drives Overeating: Interview with Dr. Megan Melo MD”
