Overcoming Burnout and Building Resilience in Healthcare with Dr. Svetlana Chamoun

In this episode of REJUVENAGING with Dr. Ron Kaiser , Dr. Svetlana Chamoun, a board-certified cardiologist and CEO of CardioSeeds, joins Dr. Ron to discuss the profound impact of burnout on healthcare professionals and her journey to combat it. Dr. Chamoun shares her personal experience with burnout while serving as Chief Cardiologist during the COVID-19 pandemic and how it motivated her to create CardioSeeds. This company focuses on reducing burnout and promoting stress management among healthcare providers by integrating lifestyle medicine principles, which aim to address the root causes of chronic diseases.

Dr. Chamoun and Dr. Ron explore the broader effects of physician burnout on patient care, highlighting how clinician well-being is vital to improving health outcomes. Dr. Chamoun explains that when healthcare professionals are burned out, their ability to care for patients diminishes, ultimately affecting the entire healthcare system. They also dive into the importance of lifestyle medicine, which emphasizes prevention through six key pillars: nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, stress management, social connectedness, and avoiding harmful substances.

In addition, Dr. Chamoun discusses her advocacy for women physicians, who often face unique challenges such as balancing family responsibilities and navigating male-dominated fields. She introduces her books, "Resilience in Scrubs" and her upcoming release "The Woman Physician's Survival Guide," which provide practical tools for women in healthcare to overcome burnout and thrive in their careers. This conversation offers valuable insights into how individuals in various high-stress professions can improve their well-being and longevity through holistic approaches to wellness. The discussion also highlights the importance to us as patients to have health care providers who are not highly stressed.
