Episode 177 - Practicing Mindfulness w/ Dr. Gail Gazelle

Dr. Gail Gazelle went from experiencing burnout to teaching others how to overcome burnout through the practice of mindfulness. Learning to live with mindfulness can help anyone in any situation because it gives you control over what you can control - your thoughts.

When the pandemic started in 2020, burnout among physicians became a widely known issue. As Dr. Gail Gazelle shares, burnout has been a healthcare issue for decades but the pressure of dealing with the pandemic magnified the issue. To combat this potentially devastating issue for the healthcare system, Dr. Gazelle coaches her clients on the practice of mindfulness.

Mindfulness is not just something you do once in a while, it's a technique you want to become part of your lifestyle. Understanding how to control your thoughts, reactions, and letting go of the things outside of your control can have a tremendous impact on your stress levels and therefore your overall wellness.

Dr. Gail Gazelle, MD, a part-time Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and acclaimed physician coach explores this in her new book, "Mindful MD: 6 Ways Mindfulness Restores Your Autonomy and Cures Healthcare Burnout."
