77. Physical Health and Diet for Busy Surgeons and People with Dr. Paul Maroni Artwork

Operate with Zen

While incredibly rewarding and honored vocations, careers in medicine and surgery are fraught with stress, burnout and challenges in work-life balance. OWZ is intended to open dialogue about a mindful approach to surgery - to create a space where physicians and surgeons can enhance their life's work and life experience with a focus on presence, purpose and practical skills. OWZ combines didactic-like monologues to provide baseline information and available scientific data on practical topics like time management, sleep hygiene and burnout; as well as interviews with surgeons and experts to share what works and doesn't work in their daily routines.

77. Physical Health and Diet for Busy Surgeons and People with Dr. Paul Maroni

October 04, 2023 • Phil Pierorazio • Season 7 • Episode 12

Paul Maroni, MD is a urologic oncologist at the University of Colorado in Denver. He is a repeat guest on OWZ (#41. Joy in the Service of Others… https://www.buzzsprout.com/1811662/10549621) and a good friend. We share an interest in the physical health of our patients and ourselves as physicians and surgeons. This conversation focuses on practical strategies (and the science behind them) to optimize physical health and well-being through movement, exercise, and nutrition. There is no perfect work-out routine or diet. But being mindful and intentional about how you care for your body and what you want out of your physical being are the first steps to a healthy and sustainable career and beyond! We discuss lots of external resources and links are provided in the notes. Enjoy!
