DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast. Doctors devote their lives to caring for others, but the time has come to prioritize the health and wellness of physicians. As physicians, we make decisions every day about how to prioritize our time, energy, focus, attention, and money. Our lives are in our own hands. But are we making these as conscious choices or are we satisfied with speeding through life in default mode? Hosts Jen Barna MD, Coach Gabriella Dennery MD and Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer interview physicians to explore ways to embrace life AND a medical career, some who’ve chosen a path less traveled and others who have optimized their lives on a traditional medical career path. As coaches from the DocWorking team, Gabriella and Jill discuss actionable tips from their experience coaching physicians. We also invite guests on business, leadership, building financial independence, and other pertinent topics to physicians. If you’re a physician, we want to hear your story!

“The impact of stress on the body is well known going back to the research of Hans Selye and the general adaptation syndrome, that when organisms are under prolonged stress and inescapable stress, the body begins to break down in predictable ways.” -Dr. James F. Zender
In today’s episode, Dr. Jen Barna welcomes Dr. James F. Zender to the podcast. Dr. Zender is a clinical psychologist, certified brain injury specialist and certified traumatologist. Dr. Zender shares about his childhood and how it led him to the field of psychology. He and Dr. Barna discuss the effects of stress and trauma on physicians and what can be done about it.
