Send us Fan MailIn this podcast episode, we are going to talk about nutrition! This is a topic that is discussed in my pediatric practice multiple times a day, and I find that there is a lot of confusion about it. Why wouldn't there be? We are constantly bombarded with information regarding the latest diet and nutrition fads. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine recommends a whole foods plant based diet, which is essentially a vegan diet (without the non-nutritive vegan foods that are highly processed, like doritos, fritos, chips!).  There's a good bit of research out there regarding this, and more can be found on their website at https://lifestylemedicine.org/In this conversation, for the sake of simplicity, I wanted to provide some broad recommendations for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike, so that we can all move towards a healthier life and reduce our risk for common chronic diseases, like diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. We deserve a life where we can be active with our kids and grandkids, and empower them to be healthy as well. Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.

Send us Fan MailThe "Wellness" umbrella covers lots of things - physical wellness, mental/emotional wellness, spiritual wellness... but we don't often talk about financial wellness. Financial security in this day in age is vital so that we have the capacity to step back from our work if and when we need to. Some of us avoid learning about finances because it seems complicated and there's a sense of hopelessness.  If you're one of these people, this podcast is for you. Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.

Send us Fan MailEverywhere we turn, there's information. We are constantly absorbing it. Sometimes it happens so fast that we don't even realize that it's happened.  Have you ever listened to a song that was sad and found yourself moping around for hours afterwards? Maybe you've listened to someone talk heatedly about something and now you're feeling irritated, too. If you're someone who tends to soak up and internalize the emotions of the people around you, how does that make you feel? How does it impact your day? Let's talk about how we can separate our baggage from their baggage... because, let's face it, we  have enough of our own, and we don't need to carry someone else's!

Send us Fan MailA manual is a booklet that's written to help us understand how something works. In the coaching world, however, "the manual" refers to an unspoken set of beliefs and expectations that we set for the people in our lives. Because it's unspoken, the other person doesn't even know it exists... and, to be honest, you may not even realize it exists until you shed some light on it. Once we see it, it's easier to understand how this set of expectations and beliefs can negatively affect us. It can also give us some helpful insight into what we need to do to improve the quality of our relationships. Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.

Send us Fan MailEvery year on December 31st, we all look towards the new year with high hopes and aspirations. It represents a new page in the next chapter of our books. We end the year thinking about how we want the next 365 days (or, in this case, 366 days) to look and what we want to accomplish. For those of us who might be recovering high achievers, perfectionists, workaholics... it's easy to get a little crazy with our goals. My 2024 version of myself just set one of the hardest goals ever. Listen to find out more!Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.

Send us Fan MailWe're all busy people. It's hard when an obstacle, no matter how petty it is, springs up and messes with our flow. Everyone reacts to stressors a little differently. We have choices, though, and while we may initially be disappointed or upset, we get to make the final call on how we want to approach the disruption at hand. We can either let it ruin our day, or we can step back and give ourselves an opportunity to put things in perspective. Support the showDr. Tanikella practices General Pediatrics, Integrative Medicine, and is an expert in Mind-Body medicine.

Send us Fan MailBurnout is work place related stress which is characterized by a state of physical and/or emotional exhaustion, a sense of reduced accomplishment, and, often, a loss of personal identity.The repercussions of burnout/moral injury are serious. In fact, in the United States, an estimated 300 to 400 doctors die by suicide each year, which is more than double that of general population.We are in a health care crisis. This affects not just the medical team, but also the patients we serve. The band-aids that are tenuously holding the system together are starting to come undone.
