Myth, Magic, Medicine: Recent Episodes
Denise Billen-Mejia MD
Listen-in as 2 doctors talk about myths, magic, the practice of medicine and everything in between.
I am Denise Billen-Mejia, a retired MD, and every week I will be chatting with a physician friend and colleague about something dear to their heart, whether obviously medical or not.

Taking a short break from MMM, episodes will resume soon. This is a new venture with my colleague Martin Furber, a hypnotherapist in Preston UK and I thought you might like to listen. Bonus track does not include transcript, or CME/CPD from this podcast, Series 1 will start Sept 18th 2022
My guest for this episode is Melissa Welker, MD MPH: a full-time anesthesiologist, mother of two boys, an entrepreneur, a cyclist, and a sustainability enthusiast. After paying off $360,000 of medical school debt in 2018 and starting a family, she felt the need to rebalance her life. This is, of course, an ongoing task, but while she continues to explore ways to incorporate less traditional paths into her clinical journey she helps other physicians find financial freedom, recreate their own professional journey, and find ways to thrive as physicians and beyond.
In 2022 Dr. Welker started A Physician Home LLC to help physicians find positions that truly fit their goals clinically and personally with the goal of helping them create lives that straddle the messy tension between personal and professional goals. She can be reached through her website www.cordeliascrossing.com

BTW Hippocrates is credited with "Let food be thy Medicine" but there's no evidence he actually wrote that down. Still a very good idea.

Dr. Elizabeth Hughes is a Stanford-trained physician with more than 25 years of clinical experience. For most of her career she believed that conventional medicine was the only effective method of treating illness and injury. Her perspective was radically changed after a patient was cured of a chronic, “incurable” condition with a simple change in belief. She came to realize that the conventional medical approach is fundamentally flawed. Instead of healing and curing, the current paradigm has produced millions of people labeled as chronically ill, forever dependent on medication, cared for by a generation of physicians who are frustrated, burned out, and suffering with their own stress-related illnesses. She vowed to find a better solution. Her quest led her to study non-western systems of health and healing, placebo research, and the emerging sciences of epigenetics and psychoneuroimmunology. In the process she became a registered yoga teacher, a health coach, a PQ (Positive Intelligence) coach, and a practitioner of transformational archetypal work as well as several energy medicine modalities. By blending her scientific training with principles of self-healing, Dr. Hughes guides her clients — both physicians and the general public — to create their own sustainable path to health, wellbeing, and professional satisfaction. In addition to her coaching and mentorship practice, Dr. Hughes is the inventor and founder of Beyond Dermatologics, a breakthrough line of steroid-free, science-based skin care products designed to treat common skin conditions without the harmful side effects of topical steroids, as well as being the medical columnist for Modern Warrior magazine. -- www.elizabethhughesmd.com

In this episode, we discuss how medical training and practice impacts physicians’ health and what needs to change.
Medicine is a wonderful profession, full of caring individuals who give generously to their patients but physicians when they are sick, rarely treat themselves as compassionately as they would treat their patients. The culture of medicine expects the practice of medicine for others to be placed above all other considerations, even more so when the issue is mental or emotional health. Often physicians are inhibited from taking needed care of themselves, working while they themselves are sick and fearful that their livelihood will be snatched away.
Today’s guest, Dr. Elizabeth Treynor, is on a mission to normalize discussions about physicians' own mental health.. Her podcast “Mind Surfer MD” is available on most platforms and the Facebook community, of the same name, is open to all with an interest.
