As healthcare professionals, we dedicate ourselves to supporting others—guiding patients toward better health, offering care, and providing reassurance. But in the process, we often neglect our most important resource: ourselves. Just like a phone can’t function on a drained battery, we can’t provide our best care when we’re running on empty. Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. It’s what allows us to continue helping others without burning out. So, how do we recharge while still being present for those who rely on us? 🔹 Mind: Take moments to pause, breathe, and reset. Meditation, journaling, or even a five-minute walk can clear mental fog and improve focus. 🔹 Body: Nourish yourself the way you encourage your patients to—eat well, stay hydrated, and move in ways that restore energy rather than deplete it. 🔹 Boundaries: Set limits to protect your time and mental well-being. Saying ‘no’ to overextending yourself means saying ‘yes’ to sustainability in your career. 🔹 Connection: Lean on your support system. Whether it’s a mentor, a colleague, or a close friend, sharing challenges and wins helps lighten the load. 🔹 Purpose: Reconnect with the reason you chose this path. Purpose fuels resilience and reminds us why self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. By taking care of ourselves, we ensure we can continue to care for others—effectively, compassionately, and sustainably. How do you recharge while supporting others?

Stress affects us all—patients and providers alike. The key to balance? Self-care. How we nourish our mind, fuel our body, and move each day directly influences our stress levels and overall well-being. Incorporating mind-body practices into your routine can help regulate stress, enhance relaxation, and improve cognitive function. Research shows that even short-term practice can slow heart rate, lower blood pressure, reduce cortisol levels, and sharpen focus. These practices are especially powerful for #healthcareprofessionals. They help reduce perceived stress, lower the risk of medical errors, and improve job satisfaction, ultimately decreasing #burnout. Let’s strengthen our resilience, one mindful moment at a time. How do you manage stress? #StressManagment #LifestyleMedicine

Empower your patients to take charge of their health, one meal at a time. In today’s world of convenience and fast food, it can be challenging for patients to prioritize cooking meals from scratch. Yet, the evidence is clear: cooking meals at home and putting patients in control of their eating choices can significantly improve blood pressure, cholesterol, weight management, and blood sugar levels. The problem? Many patients lack the cooking skills and knowledge to make this happen. That’s where My Viva Plan® comes in: to bridge the gap by empowering patients with practical, evidence-based nutrition resources, including: ·        Personalized meal planning ·        Easy-to-follow recipes ·        Educational cooking and nutrition videos These tools and resources are designed to build confidence in the kitchen. Whether helping patients understand portion sizes, improve knife skills, explore flavour combinations, or create balanced meals, My Viva Plan ensures patients have everything they need to succeed. It’s a game-changer for physicians—giving patients the tools to implement your advice and see sustainable results. #DigitalHealth #healthcareprofessionals #healthcareinnovation

Healthcare providers are stretched thin. ⏳ Limited time. 🌍 Rising chronic disease rates. 📉 Basic resources. Patients are struggling too—they often feel unequipped to take charge of their health. Lifestyle medicine has the potential to contribute to the restoration of health by modifying the behaviours that have contributed to the global burden of chronic disease. Lifestyle medicine (LM), as defined by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine is a medical specialty that applies behavioural, motivational, environmental, and clinical principles to prevent, treat or manage chronic diseases.   LM is evidence-based and acknowledges the same pathophysiology and disease etiology as allopathic medicine. It is distinctly impactful because of its collaborative approach to health. An interdisciplinary care team of physicians and allied health professionals addresses health and wellness from the biopsychosocial lens. Rather than merely managing symptoms, LM can prevent and treat diseases and enhance overall well-being and quality of life. It empowers patients to take control of their health, leading to better long-term outcomes and reducing the burden on healthcare systems. Follow us on all our social platforms as we explore each pillar and how My Viva is implementing and scaling lifestyle medicine. #LifestyleMedicine #HealthInnovation #ChronicDiseasePrevention
