My head nodded down in a microsecond of sleep – on Highway 290 in Chicago rush hour traffic. 

I was heading home after a 24-hour call.

A year earlier, I would be falling asleep on the way to work on the mornings after a 36-hour call. 

This was a way of life that I didn’t challenge. 

Since medical school I was trained that my most basic needs, like food, sleep and a bathroom, were secondary. 

The kicker is that the lessons I learned still affected my mindset years later. And it’s not just me! 

Thankfully, I discovered how to slowly unravel those destructive patterns. 

And you can too.

My message today is simple, don’t ignore your humanness. 

You can unlearn these habits and prioritize your health.

Listen in and I’ll show you how.
