24. Balancing Love and Medicine: Wisdom from 13,367 Days of Marriage and the Science of Laughter
Ever wondered how humor can be a prescription for a healthier life? Join us as we celebrate 13,367 days of marriage, sharing our journey filled with love, laughter, and the life lessons we've gathered along the way. We’re excited to also thank our wonderful listeners for helping us approach the incredible milestone of 1,000 podcast downloads. You'll hear firsthand from Dr. Jeff about the scientific benefits of incorporating fun into daily routines, which can lead to reduced stress, the release of endorphins, and better heart function. As we celebrate our enduring partnership, we’ll share invaluable advice for those looking to balance their professional and personal lives, especially in demanding fields like medicine.
In this episode, we emphasize the critical role of a strong support system during the physically and emotionally taxing years of medical school and practice. From trading babysitting services with fellow couples to prioritizing family time, we explore how community and collaboration helped us maintain our equilibrium, but we are still working on it! Dr. Jeff and I also dive into practical tips, such as the creation of a med school note pool program for difficult times and how starting medical school at a non-traditional life stage shaped our experiences. We discuss the game-changing advent of the "Hospitalist" specialty and the often-overlooked significance of medical expertise in nutrition and coaching. Don't miss our heartfelt conversation filled with actionable insights and profound reflections.
