Have you ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety or depression during your medical journey? Feeling like you're without the right tools or time to address it? I've been there too, facing panic attacks during my first year of med school, feeling lost and unsure how to cope. And you may have encountered similar challenges. Perhaps you've attempted the recommended self-care strategies—meditation that feels impossible to sit through, or positive affirmations that just don't seem to stick. In this podcast episode, I am bringing on a special guest, Dr. Ali Novitzki, who is a physician and a certified master coach, nutrition, and fitness expert. Ali's own battle with depression and anxiety during college led her on a transformative journey toward emotional, mental, and physical wellness. Today, she's passionate about helping others achieve their healthiest selves. She unveils her favorite tool for emotional regulation and it's something I had never even heard of before. Discover why it's tough to stay still during meditation and why positive affirmations don't always work. Plus, she shares valuable pieces of wisdom for anyone out there looking to become an entrepreneur. Join us for a special Q&A session with our guest, exclusively for Life After Medicine listeners.
