About this webinar

This webinar is designed to support doctors in prioritizing their own well-being while managing the demands of their profession. As caregivers, physicians often neglect their own health, which can lead to burnout, stress, and diminished quality of life. This session will provide practical strategies to help doctors achieve a better work-life balance, manage stress, and maintain their physical and mental health through the principles of lifestyle medicine.


By integrating healthy lifestyle choices—such as balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and stress management—into their daily routines, doctors can not only enhance their own well-being but also serve as role models for their patients. This holistic approach ensures that doctors are not just healers, but also healthy individuals who can sustain their ability to provide the highest quality care.


The webinar will empower doctors with the tools and knowledge to take care of themselves, allowing them to continue their vital work with renewed energy and resilience.
