CHICAGO — In this Healio video exclusive, Hansa Bhargava, MD, talks with E. Shanika Esparaz, MD, about using lifestyle medicine to combat burnout and achieve work-life balance at the Women in Medicine Summit.
Esparaz, a double board-certified ophthalmologist, medical retinal specialist, cataract surgeon and lifestyle medicine specialist in Northeast Ohio, told Bhargava, chief of clinical strategy and innovation at Healio, that 3 years into practicing medicine, she experienced burnout but did not realize it at the time.
“I took a step back. I got board certified in lifestyle medicine to really learn the pillars of how to take care of myself ... my children and my patients through nutrition, exercise and mindfulness — all of the things we really should have learned in medical school,” Esparaz said.
