105 - Forget Medical Practice Burnout Recovery: New Series on Longevity and How Independent Physicians Can Design Lives That Prevent It Entirely

Are you building your medical knowledge beyond the textbooks… or just stuck in survival mode?

 As physicians, we’re trained to investigate, solve, and adapt — but somewhere between the EMR clicks and late-night charting, that curiosity gets buried under burnout.

In this kickoff to our Curiosity Series, we’re diving into one of the most important questions we should all be asking: Why do people in 47+ countries live longer than Americans — including physicians like us?  I’ll walk you through what sparked this series, revisit key ideas from the Blue Zones, and challenge us to reawaken our drive to learn, explore, and live better.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why curiosity might be your most powerful tool for better practice and longer life.
• The global life expectancy stats that should have every physician asking hard questions.
• How the top 10 longest-living countries compare in diet, income, healthcare access, and more — and how that affects you, your patients, and your profession.
  
  

Ready to disrupt the status quo and take your curiosity off autopilot?
 Tune in now and follow the Curiosity Series every Monday — as we uncover what the longest-living populations are doing right… and what we as physicians must do next.
