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!

200: Pediatrician Dr. Bill Sears on Modern Healthy Parenting
Thursday Sep 08, 2022
Thursday Sep 08, 2022
“Most of my patients, and probably our listeners, don’t realize that you are blessed with a giant pharmacy inside. So, take care of it by what you eat, how you think, and how you move.”
-Dr. William Sears
As the father of eight children, Dr. Sears and his wife, Martha, have written more than 45 books and hundreds of articles on parenting, childcare, nutrition, and healthy aging. Dr. Sears is also the co-founder of the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute for training health coaches, and he runs the health and parenting website, AskDrSears.com. Dr. Sears shares with Dr. Barna what inspired him to become a pediatrician and eventually a successful author. He mentions what he calls the “helper’s high”, and that he realized how much of a lasting impact his teachings and advice could have on both parents and their children.
In his practice, Dr. Sears saw that children were growing, but they weren’t thriving. Many of the parents that came into his office would have concerns that their child had ADD, but the symptoms were due to a nutritional deficiency. For healthy developing brains, Dr. Sears and his wife discovered that much of the nutritional advice of the past was no longer relevant, especially when it came to healthy fats. In addition to nutrition, Dr. Sears helps parents provide tools to relax and lessen the “fear factor” that’s so prevalent today. We discuss parenting as a physician, how to shape a child’s taste buds, how Dr. Sears trains health coaches, the body’s internal pharmacy and much more.
Dr. Bill Sears has been advising parents on how to raise healthier families for over 50 years. He received his medical training at Harvard Medical School’s Children’s Hospital in Boston and The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, the world’s largest children’s hospital. While at The Hospital for Sick Children, Dr. Sears was Associate Ward Chief of the newborn intensive care unit before serving as the Chief of Pediatrics at Toronto Western Hospital, a teaching hospital at the University of Toronto. He has served as a voluntary professor of pediatrics at the University of Toronto, the University of South Carolina, the University of Southern California’s School of Medicine, and the University of California Irvine.
What’s Inside:
- What inspired Dr. Sears to become a pediatrician and author.
- Why do children need a “smart fat” diet and “grow foods”.
- Dr. Sears’ experience with physicians as parents.
- How a child’s tastebuds are shaped.
- How Dr. Sears trains health coaches.
- The body’s internal pharmacy and how it works.

199: How One Doctor’s Burnout has Inspired an International Conversation
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
“It took me several years of going down that path to really realize that trauma healing is a journey, it's not a destination, and to have grace and compassion with myself. And when I was able to do that, I think my impact as a physician changed.”
-Dr. Katie Cole, D.O.
Burnout in health care is real and we would just like to let everyone know upfront that we will be discussing suicidal ideations in physicians, as well as trauma healing for physicians and health care professionals. We have Dr. Katie Cole who shares with Jill Farmer what inspired her to pursue a healthcare career. Her father was in the medical field and struggled with depression and mental illness, which then led her to study and practice psychiatry. She received a PTSD diagnosis due to childhood abuse and also lost her father to suicide, which led her down a path of deeper self-discovery.
Dr. Cole & Jill discuss the stigma and shame around struggling with mental illness as a practitioner and how it impacts your approach to working in the field. Trauma healing is a journey, not a destination, and keeping that in mind helps you foster compassion for yourself and be a better caregiver. Dr. Cole believes that burnout in the medical community needs to be an international conversation and it’s her mission to be a voice and an advocate for physicians and healthcare providers.
Dr. Katie Cole is known as “The Healer’s Healer.” She’s an award-winning holistic psychiatrist, organizational well-being consultant, and change agent. Her passion for physician and medical practitioner well-being is fueled by her own struggles and feeling burned out in her career. This led her to identify unique solutions for burnout and to find her true passion in medicine, which is helping healers to heal themselves. Dr. Cole is board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and has pursued post-training in functional and integrative medicine, spiritual medicine, transformational coaching, and physician leadership. She is also a Reiki master and energy healer.
What’s Inside:
- Dr. Cole’s journey and how her personal experience shaped her career.
- Why trauma healing is a journey, not a destination.
- How working with a coach and changing your perspective can help against burnout.
- What’s in store for the future of healthcare and well-being.
- Information on the Lorna Breen Initiative.

“There’s no organ called ‘the mental’. This is your brain’s health. It’s an actual organ and it happens to be the most important organ in the body. And so this is very real; it’s not made up. When people are presenting with symptoms of PTSD, they’re not going bonkers, they’re not crazy. This is very concrete, very described, and fortunately, there are strategies for healing.”
- Dr. Sadie Elisseou, MD

“Part of the journey for me is about permission. Can I give myself permission to feel both the discomfort in feeling afraid to be vulnerable as well as the courage to be vulnerable?”
- Dr. Manizeh Mirza-Gruber, MD, is a licensed, Board-certified Psychiatrist, Certified Yoga Teacher, Certified Mind-Body Medicine Skills Facilitator (CMBM)
Today’s episode reveals the benefits of physician mindfulness with Dr. Manizeh Mirza-Gruber, MD, licensed board-certified psychiatrist. Master Certified Life Coach and cohost of of the podcast Jill Farmer welcomes Dr. Mirza-Gruber to have a conversation about why and how physicians should be encouraged to show vulnerability. As Dr. Mirza-Gruber shares in the episode, she has found that by being vulnerable with her patients, she is able to understand and help them better, and to ultimately find more joy in practicing medicine. By allowing yourself to be vulnerable and acknowledge your personal worries or doubts, Dr. Mirza-Gruber has found that physicians are able to better show compassion for themselves, so that they are then more suited to care for others. Today’s episode works to normalize these physician experiences.
Manizeh Mirza-Gruber, MD, is a licensed, board-certified psychiatrist (ABPN), Certified Yoga Teacher (NACYT), and Certified Mind-Body Medicine Skills Facilitator (CMBM). She leads meditation groups, and is currently in a two-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, Class of February 2023.

In May 2017, she founded her own private practice, Manizeh Mirza-Gruber, M.D., PLLC - DBA Mindful in Practice™, to follow her lifelong passion of helping individuals become their true and authentic selves.
As an individual, parent, and psychiatrist, Manizeh follows a holistic approach to life. She believes in connecting mind, body, heart, and spirit for healing.
She has been facilitating Mind-Body Skills Groups and workshops since January 2018 to bring healing in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, and now during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Manizeh is happily married to her husband and has two adult children and a dog. She has a daily practice of running, yoga, and meditation. She has run several marathons, and since 2014 has been “fundracing” for a nonprofit organization, Back on My Feet. She is now one of their lead volunteers for the morning circle runs in the Houston Chapter. She believes in giving hope to the homeless one mile at a time.
Manizeh loves to read, cook, spend time with family and friends, and volunteer. She is a forever learner. Her purpose is to continue to make a meaningful impact for others by sharing her own journey with its struggles, challenges, beauty, and triumphs, and in knowing we each have the potential to find our own inner goodness.

194: Get Coached on the Most Effective Way to Let Vacation Recharge Your Batteries with Dr. Victoria Silas
“Physicians feel guilt when they take time for themselves. And it’s super important to remember that by taking time for yourself, you're actually likely increasing your ability to serve others when you get home. And, increasing your likelihood of having a longer and healthier career and life. “
- Dr. Victoria Silas, Certified Coach and Orthopedic Surgeon
It’s time for Vacation 101 For Physicians.

Acknowledging the presence of workaholism in the US, Jill and Dr. Silas encourage you to let go of any guilt you may feel about taking time off.

In today’s conversation, Dr. Silas and Jill offer you advice on how to create an individualized vacation plan to help you avoid burnout, be more effective in the workplace, and prioritize your own health and well-being as a physician.

“ ‘I’m scheduled from 7 in the morning until 7pm and then have hours of paperwork after that and I don’t have time to eat or even pee during the day.’
I just want to say first of all, I see you. I hear that those are the conditions that have been created by the system for you, and I also want to say to you, that’s not ok.”
- Jill Farmer, Master Certified Life Coach, Cohost of DocWorking
Cohosts of the Podcast Jill Farmer and Dr. Jen Barna talk about the professional and personal development value of normalizing Physician & Healthcare Coaching as a key to staying connected to purpose and meaning during a career in medicine. In this conversation, Jill and Jen discuss why healthcare organizations should be carving time into the workday for doctors and other providers to engage in coaching and associated professional development in order to build leadership, communication, growth mindset, stress and time management skills, and work-life integration in order to make the practice of medicine sustainable as a long career. If this type of professional development for physicians, PAs, Nurse Practitioners and nurses does NOT happen, Jill and Jen point out that dedicated physicians and other clinicians may leave their practice earlier, shortening medical careers. The DocWorking team is here to help you clarify what brings meaning and purpose in your own life, arm you with the tools needed to put yourself in the driver’s seat of your life and career, and provide ongoing coaching and peer support to guide you toward your goals in a sustainable and effective way. In addition, this episode focuses on how you can start to build in time for coaching and make it a priority so that you may continue to find joy in practicing medicine.
