Let's discuss below! #HealthcareLeadership #PhysicianEngagement #LifestyleMedicine

Are you riding the edge of productivity and burnout—or are you flowing? 🏄🏽♀️ Whether you’re a healthcare provider or a patient, chronic disease management can feel like a never-ending uphill climb. For providers, it’s the daily grind of delivering care while trying to stay connected to your purpose and your patients. For patients, it’s the exhausting task of managing symptoms, appointments, medications, and lifestyle changes. But—are there moments where it all clicks? Where you find your rhythm, feel in control, and maybe even enjoy the process? This brings me to the state of flow—that sweet spot where challenge meets skill, and we feel fully immersed, in control, and even joyful in what we’re doing. But for many, both patients and providers, the challenge level is high, and the skill level might not be there yet. This mismatch can leave us stuck in anxiety, apathy, or burnout. In Lifestyle Medicine and behavior change, reaching flow is especially tricky—but also powerful. When we understand where we are on the challenge-skill curve, and start to: ✅take small concrete steps forward ✅receive unambiguous feedback on progress ✅celebrate small wins We can shift. Flow becomes possible. So here’s the invitation: assess where you are today. What’s one clear action item you can do to move closer to that state of flow? I dove into this topic in the context of chronic disease management with My Viva Inc. on the latest Cherry Health podcast with Dr. Jordan Vollrath, MD Listen and learn: • Spotify: https://loom.ly/Q1wxC58 • Apple Podcasts: https://loom.ly/HfdHtz0 • YouTube: https://loom.ly/Pzx6HKg Let’s talk about it. I’d love to hear your thoughts. #LifestyleMedicine #BehaviorChange #ChronicDiseaseManagement #StateOfFlow #BurnoutPrevention #HealthCareLeadership #CareDelivery Loreen Wales Colin Andersen Eric Gombrich

Change doesn’t happen overnight—it takes time and effort. The first step is self-reflection, a simple daily habit that helps us understand our thoughts, feelings, and actions. When we reflect, we become more aware of what’s working, what’s not, and where we want to improve. This awareness helps us recognize patterns, break unhealthy habits, and make positive changes that last. My Viva Plan members: join Loreen Wales, Founder and CEO of My Viva Inc, to learn what it takes to create lasting change, even when life gets busy. Finding balance is key, helping us prioritize well-being without feeling stressed or overwhelmed. We’ll also explore the power of a growth mindset and how small, steady changes can lead to big results. Walk away with simple, practical tools to build health-promoting habits into your daily routine and create a healthier, happier life. Host: Brandon Gruber, RD, IOC Dipl. Sports Nut Presenter: Loreen Wales, Founder & CEO, My Viva Inc. This is free for members. If you cannot make it to the live session, don't worry - the recordings will be available on My Viva Plan shortly after! #digitalhealth #LifestyleMedicine #beahviourchange #growthmindset

As healthcare professionals, we know that sleep is one of the most critical yet undervalued aspects of wellness. It’s easy to tell patients to “get 8 hours of sleep” or “stick to a bedtime routine,” but addressing the root causes of sleep issues requires more time than most of us have in clinic. Yet, we cannot ignore the impact of poor sleep on overall health. #WorldSleepDay #LifestyleMedicine
