The pandemic changed the lives of all physicians; generally not for the better.
For my friend, Dr Sarah Stombaugh, a fellow Family and Obesity Medicine Physician, the pandemic catalyzed a dramatic pivot in her career that she never imagined. Join us to hear more about her journey from employed physician who had to advocate to protect her pregnancy to the owner of her own Obesity Medicine Direct Care Practice.
We talk about how our own desires for healing burnout lead us to coaching, and how that journey empowered us to create healthier, more boundaried lives as practicing physicians. We share how the practice of medicine leads to bad health habits, and how to start to make changes.
Dr. Sarah Stombaugh is a family medicine physician and diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. Graduating from Creighton University Medical School and completing her family medicine residency at University of Chicago, Dr. Stombaugh practiced outpatient primary care in Evanston, Illinois before moving to Charlottesville, Virginia with her family.
Upon moving to Charlottesville, Dr. Stombaugh opened a private practice weight loss clinic, in which she sees patients in-person at her downtown Charlottesville office and by telemedicine throughout the states of Virginia and Illinois.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Stombaugh is the host of the "Conquer Your Weight" podcast. Through this platform, she shares valuable insights, expert opinions, and practical advice on weight management, contributing to the well-being of a broader audience.
Dr. Stombaugh believes in empowering both individuals and the medical community in order to promote an evidence-based approach to the treatment of obesity.
