Ending Physician Overwhelm
I'm Megan Melo, board-certified Family and Obesity Medicine Physician and Physician Coach. In this podcast we talk about the many ways that burnout shows up in our lives, and what we can do about it. I'm on a mission to help Physicians take steps towards to heal burnout by unlearning the habits of perfectionism, people-pleasing and limiting beliefs so that we can lead healthier, happier lives.
The healthcare system is broken; but you don't have to wait until it's fixed to feel better. I'm here to help.

Ending Physician Overwhelm
Healing Through Sleep with Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown

In this week's episode of the Ending Physician Overwhelm Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with the always wonderful Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown. We talked about her journey with burnout, from her rigorous medical training in Nigeria, to becoming a triple board-certified Sleep Medicine Physician in the US, and ultimately founding and running her own practice, Restful Sleep MD.
Through her lived experience with burnout, she saw first-hand what an impact sleep can have on an individual's well-being. She now helps parents and their children prioritize sleep, achieve optimal health, thrive, and live to their fullest potential.
As you'll hear, prioritizing sleep was a big component of how Dr. Funke got through burnout, but another major component was aligning her work with her values, which required a transition from academic medicine to starting her own practice. We'll discuss the challenges and planning that went into making this move, as well as the joys that have come as a result. I had such a great time recording with Dr. Funke and I'm sure that you're going to enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
