The Catalyst Way™: Creative Strategies for Women in Medicine to Flourish

Psychiatry 2.0 - A New Paradigm for Mental Wellness

“For almost all my patients the common themes that I began to see was standard American diet, trauma, and toxins,” shares Dr. Aruna Tummala, MD. Dr. Aruna is a board certified adult and geriatric psychiatrist and the founder of Psychiatry 2.0 and Trinergy Health. She chose to shift into integrative psychiatry because she was frustrated with the traditional approach which focuses on prescribing medications rather than actually seeking out the root causes of chronic mental illness problems. Today, Dr. Aruna discusses her experiences working in psychiatry in India and how it differs dramatically from the model used in the United States. She also shares her approach to mental wellness and the three root causes of mental illness she has repeatedly seen in her patients. 
 
In India, Dr. Aruna was taught that since there is no way to know exactly what causes mental illness, it is necessary to always look for medical neurological causes first. In the U.S., however, the body and mind are largely viewed as completely separate entities. She was reprimanded for attempting to incorporate more integrative approaches and for refusing to medicate patients with antipsychotics, opioids, and antidepressants. When she opened her own practice she began to see that there were three overall root causes of mental illness: the standard American diet, trauma, and toxins. In most cases, there was not a true chemical imbalance, and in the absence of a chemical imbalance it is generally unnecessary to use psychiatric medications.
 
Psychiatrists in the United States are so removed from the rest of the medical community. Mental health is seen as completely separate from the rest of the body, when that could not be further from the truth. The root causes of mental illness are often coming from other areas in the body, so an integrative approach is much more conducive to recovery than simply prescribing antidepressants. 
Quotes
• “We really don't know what causes mental illness. We think it is a chemical imbalance. So the very least that we can do is look for medical neurological causes.” (4:44-4:53 | Dr. Aruna)
• “For almost all my patients the common themes that I began to see was standard American diet, trauma, and toxins.” (23:06-23:14 | Dr. Aruna)
• “If there is no chemical imbalance, why are we keeping these medications?” (32:55-32:58 | Dr. Aruna)
• “It doesn't matter whether you have schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, anxiety, PTSD. Everyone can heal and recover.” (38:39-38:45 | Dr. Aruna)

Making Art From Anxiety With Megan Mitts

“I like to give people as many choices as possible, and I always want to make sure that you feel like you're in control,” explains Megan Mitts, registered art therapist and founder of Art From Anxiety LLC. Megan created her art therapy business as a way to share low risk, high reward therapeutic art activities in a more accessible way that focuses on an artists’ success while also aiming to improve their mental health. The methods she shares are safe for anyone to do on their own and to share with others, and they help people gain more tools for being able to cope with difficult emotions like grief. Today, Megan discusses her professional journey and shares how she uses art therapy to make art from anxiety.
 
Art therapy is a fantastic method for coping with difficult emotions and regulating mental health. One of Megan’s go-to methods to redirect people and give them a reprieve from their emotions is called mega-grounding. For this she asks people to name an animal, an action, and a place. The answers can be rather silly and help take people out of their distressing mental state. Megan chooses her art tools based on emotional need, such as using more rigid tools for a sense of control when overwhelmed and making reconstructive art when dealing with grief. 
 
Channeling anxiety into art is a constructive way of redirecting emotions. Through art therapy, people can learn coping mechanisms that empower them to take control over their own mental health. 
 
Quotes
• “There's a caterpillar dancing in Egypt. Like, oh, okay. It's silly, but it's okay, and these little tools of using our brain in different ways are what can be so helpful in the moment.” (9:15-9:27 | Dr. Lara)
• “Ultimately, my goal is just to help people make art and feel better.” (15:54-15:57 | Megan)
• “I like to give people as many choices as possible, and I always wanna make sure that you feel like you're in control.” (17:31-17:36 | Megan)
• “A lot of people think that grief is something that you only experience when you do lose someone, but a lot of times it is a change in your role. It's a change in someone else's role.” (29:53-30:04 | Megan)

Social Media for Healthcare Professionals: Using Technology to Educate and Inspire

“I give as much free education as I can out there on social media, because my thought process is the more you give, the more you receive,” shares Megan Bliss, FNP-C. Megan worked as a nurse practitioner in a traditional healthcare setting for many years feeling like she just did not have all the tools she needed to help her female patients. She began attending functional medicine conferences and using social media as an educational resource to learn everything she could and fill her toolbox. A year and a half ago, Megan opened her own private practice with the goal of teaching women about the role of hormones in the body. Today, she shares how technology can be used to educate and inspire patients to take back control of their health.
 
There is an abundance of information about health available on social media. It’s really about knowing where to look and taking the time to educate yourself. Health education is a critical tool for patients that is severely lacking in traditional healthcare settings. When patients are more informed about their health, they are able to make better choices. They also get less discouraged along their health journey when they feel they have the tools to succeed. Instead of searching for some magic pill that will never exist, functional medicine patients learn the role of hormones in the body, the importance of nutrition, and how to make simple and effective  lifestyle changes all while empowering one another in a group setting. 
 
Social media is a fantastic resource for healthcare professionals to not only learn more about topics they are interested in, but also to educate and inspire their patients. By putting free resources up on social media, physicians not only educate their patients, but also positively impact the health of people all over the world. 
Quotes
• “We can have a myriad of issues, but we feel it when our hormones are out of whack and it really can disrupt our relationships, our productivity, our general wellbeing, our confidence, all of that.” (7:17-7:30 | Megan)
• “I give as much free education as I can out there on social media, because my thought process is the more you give, the more you receive.” (16:55-17:04 | Megan)
• “I had this misconception that professional women shouldn't be on social media.” (18:06-18:11 | Megan) 
• “In my groups, it is so fun when women start talking and bouncing ideas off of each other, and it's definitely empowering and empower was my word of the year last year because I felt like I needed some empowerment in my own life and business. And I wanted to be the source of helping women feel empowered.” (30:48-31:19 | Megan)

Good Enough? Momentum, Flow and Self Saboteurs

“What I’m doing is good enough. Nope, not perfect, and I’m not really trying my best. But nobody wants perfection. We want relatableness, humility, authenticity, honesty. And that’s what this is,” shares host Dr. Lara Salyer. For today’s special one year anniversary episode, Dr. Lara looks back on the success and challenges of the past year and what she has learned about self sabotage, the myth of perfection, and reaching a flow state. 
 
Dr. Lara created the AHA method for reaching flow state, which stands for anchor, highlight, activate. This method helps combat burnout and fight self sabotage by activating flow enhancers and removing flow disruptors. Even though Dr. Lara helps others with achieving flow and maintaining momentum, she still struggles with her own self saboteurs like the perfectionism ingrained in her since childhood. Many physicians are overachievers and perfectionists, but the truth is that success comes from failure.
 
What you are doing does not have to be perfect to be good, because it never will be. What people really want is authenticity and as long as you are being true to your core values, you are doing good enough. 
Quotes
• “We have to get better at making progress instead of perfection.” (5:15-5:19 | Dr. Lara)
• “What I’m doing is good enough. Nope, not perfect, and I’m not really trying my best. But nobody wants perfection. We want relatableness, humility, authenticity, honesty. And that’s what this is.” (7:56-8:11 | Dr. Lara)
• “We think by fixing something minute it might increase the chance of success and that’s not true.” (12:04-12:10 | Dr. Lara)
• “What increases success is failing multiple times so you get the feedback and you can improve.” (12:11-12:18 | Dr. Lara)

Can AI Be the Cure for Burnout?

“The basic infrastructure in healthcare is still not functional from a technology perspective,” explains Mehdi Maghsoodnia, thought leader and CEO of 1Health.io. Mehdi studied artificial intelligence at Berkeley and Stanford and has been working in the world of high tech for over 20 years building the platforms that started it all. Today, Mehdi shares how artificial intelligence and advancements to the severely outdated software being used by healthcare systems can transform the industry and help keep physicians from burning out. 
 
Healthcare is at least a decade behind nearly every other industry in terms of technological advancements. 1Health.io is working to change that by providing a platform that shows physicians all the available tests for any given condition, in addition to information about which ones are covered by insurance and which tests are popular with their peers and other physicians. Software like this allows doctors a more streamlined process for tracking vital information like test results. 
 
Physicians today are trying to meet impossibly high levels of demand without the proper tools available to make this demand feasible. Artificial intelligence can help healthcare workers reduce their workload by taking care of administrative tasks and keeping their patients’ data organized. This streamlined process will free up time for physicians, keep things from falling through the cracks, and improve the overall care experience for patients. 
 
Quotes
• “The basic infrastructure in healthcare is still not functional from a technology perspective.” (8:31-8:37 | Mehdi) 
• “Getting access to test results is fundamental to making the right care decisions.” (11:35-11:41 | Mehdi)
• “What we're doing simply is just giving a platform to doctors that shows them for a given condition what are the latest tests for that condition, but also which ones are paid for by insurance and which ones are ordered most often by your peers and other physicians.” (15:33-15:50 | Mehdi)

4 Steps to Elation (How to Hire Your Perfect VA)

“You aren't going to rewire these limiting beliefs overnight. They will probably always be a part of your history and of your narrative, but you can recognize them and check them at the door,” explains host, Dr. Lara Salyer. You may think hiring a virtual assistant is not for you, because you believe no one can do your job as well as you can. However, when you find the perfect VA for you, they can catalyze tremendous growth and help reduce your risks of burnout.
 
Step one is to check your limiting beliefs at the door. Ask yourself if these beliefs are really true and recognize them for what they are. Next, make a list of redundancies and wishes that you notice popping up consistently. Then, begin writing down your Standard Operating Procedures or SOPs. Lastly, build your communication loops for necessary feedback. 
 
The right virtual assistant can help you grow your practice more than you could ever have imagined when trying to do it all on your own. Learn the four steps for hiring the perfect VA for you. 
 
Quotes
• “Oftentimes, practitioners will share the anxiety they have with me saying, I just don't trust anybody to do it as good as I can. And that's a limiting belief.” (4:00-4:12 | Dr. Lara) 
• “You aren't going to rewire these limiting beliefs overnight. They will probably always be a part of your history and of your narrative, but you can recognize them, and be aware, and check them at the door.” (6:09-6:21 | Dr. Lara)
• “Oftentimes when it doesn't work, the VA or the freelancer is the first one to step up and say, ‘Yeah, I can tell I don't think I'm quite fitting the description of this job. And I'm going to step down’.” (18:01-18:13 | Dr. Lara)
• “Don't be scared of outsourcing. Do not be scared of hiring staff. Do not fear that nobody can do it as good as you, quite the opposite. My assistants do things way better than I could have.” (21:50-22:05 | Dr. Lara)

Disrupting Health Care With Administrative Power

“If I look at accessibility, the way that we can fill that gap is to support women in their careers and in their practices all across the globe,” shares Dr. Julie Durnan, naturopathic physician with over 20 years of experience. Mid-pandemic in 2020, Dr. Julie was burning out and watching clinics and businesses shut down all around her. She started to rethink her career goals and realized that what she is truly passionate about is supporting women so that they can thrive in both their families and careers. She created Ginger Desk to provide virtual administrative support and leadership to physicians.
 
Dr. Julie is very particular when bringing on new employees. Instead of working with contractors, she hires and trains permanent employees with a background in healthcare administration. This provides an opportunity for women to work from home and maintain a thriving career while supporting their families. The majority of problems in clinics occur due to the systems being used and having well-trained administrative support can help physicians to avoid these problems. 
 
Quality administrative support is vital to running a successful healthcare practice. Often problems occur when administrative leadership is lacking or systems are outdated. Learn about how medical VAs can help provide the support you need to keep your clinic running smoothly. 
 
Quotes
• “We don't just match contractors with practitioners. We actually hire, train, and manage permanent Ginger Desk employees.” (12:53-13:01 | Dr. Julie)
• “Only 6% of the problems in clinics are due to the people involved. 94% of problems are due to the systems employed.” (16:32-16:41 | Dr. Julie)
• “What's really neat is watching our VAs come to us from these tiny communities in Northern Ontario in Canada, for example, where otherwise they wouldn't have had the opportunity to work in a functional medical practice. And then to see that small medical practice that might be virtual, in a smaller community where they've chosen to live really thrive because they get the support they need behind the scenes.” (33:56-34:22 | Dr. Julie)
• “If I look at accessibility, this is really the way that we can fill that gap is to support women in their careers, in their practices, all across the globe.” (34:29-34:40 | Dr. Julie)

The Power Is Within

“Spirit is part of us in my belief. We can't box it up and put it aside. We can't separate that from ourselves. Because if we do so, we're actually taking away our highest self and our highest knowledge and our highest ability to comprehend and heal,” explains Dr. Regan Tilley. Dr. Regan has been working in healthcare since 1996. She always knew she wanted to be a doctor, but her family’s traditional values initially held her back from pursuing that dream. After returning to nursing from maternity leave, Dr. Regan experienced a catalytic moment when caring for a cancer patient and realized that she could handle being a doctor after all. She now has a membership-based functional medicine practice where she helps patients with complex medical needs.
 
A good provider is one who will listen to you with an open heart and accept you as you are. They will be your teammate and guide you along your path, but will not make all your decisions for you. Dr. Regan helps her patients in their healing journey by incorporating spirituality. As she explains, spirituality is not religion, but rather it is a part of our highest self. By tapping into the spiritual energy that is already within you, you can begin to heal and pursue your life’s purpose. 
 
The spirit inside you already has the power to help you heal, you just need to know how to access it. The universe tried to nudge Dr. Regan toward being a doctor for decades before she actually listened. When you learn to recognize those nudges and reconnect with your spirituality, you will not only be able to heal, but also have an easier time determining your purpose. 
 
Quotes
• “The universal nudges get really big sometimes. They’re not usually a gentle tap on the shoulder, and if they are you don't listen. It has to come a little bit harder before we pay attention.” (9:10-9:20 | Dr. Regan)
• “You have to find a provider that listens to you. You have to have someone who will listen to you with an open heart and mind, and accept you as you are and then join you as a team member for you. They're not going to dictate your path, they're going to participate with you, and they're going to guide you on your journey to healing.” (26:00-26:22 | Dr. Regan)
• “What are you here to do on this planet and what are you not able to do because of how you feel right now?” (37:26-37:30 | Dr. Regan) 
• “Spirit is part of us in my belief. We can't box it up and put it aside. We can't separate that from ourselves. Because if we do so, we're actually taking away our highest self and our highest knowledge and our highest ability to comprehend and heal. So we have to unlock that box and bring it back into full awareness.” (38:34-38:55 | Dr. Regan)

Steps to Catalyze a Membership Program for Your Patients

“I didn't realize that functional medicine is a partnership. It's 50/50. As the physician, I'm responsible for that 10,000 foot altitude view of providing that map, the landscape, the trajectory, and the patients responsible for making difficult changes whether it's habits or food. I didn't realize that not having a vetting process was going to hurt me more than make it accessible to my community,” explains host Dr. Lara Salyer. When Dr. Lara first opened her functional medicine practice back in 2017, she made many mistakes along the way. As she learned more and tried different approaches, Dr. Lara eventually decided to implement a membership program which helps her business function more effectively for both herself and her patients.
 
When Dr. Lara first opened her private practice in rural Wisconsin, she made several mistakes that caused her business to suffer and made her begin to start feeling the same type of overwhelm that she had left traditional medicine to get away from. She did not have any type of vetting program, so often the people making appointments ended up not being a good fit for the practice. After about a year and a half of slowly implementing new methods such as a low cost signature course on functional medicine, free 15 minute pre-visit strategy sessions, and courses on Teachable, Dr. Lara decided to offer a tier based membership program. The three tiers of membership allow for patients to pay for what they actually need and to graduate down to a lower tier as their health improves.
 
There are three main types of memberships that you can implement for your practice. These types are the tier based membership used by Dr. Lara, a key and lock membership which is a low monthly charge that gets patients in the door but may require extra charges for anything not included, and the final type is a basic educational membership that is just a simple monthly charge for access to your courses. If you are interested in designing a membership program for your patients, it can be a really great way to enhance value and to make sure your patients are actually in alignment with your clinic’s goals. 
 
Quotes
• “I didn't realize that functional medicine is a partnership. It's 50/50. As the physician, I'm responsible for that 10,000 foot altitude view of providing that map, the landscape, the trajectory, and the patients responsible for making difficult changes whether it's habits or food. I didn't realize that not having a vetting process was going to hurt me more than make it accessible to my community.” (4:40-5:06 | Dr. Lara)
• “Just because you have staff doesn't mean that you're efficient or that you will be streamlined. I had a health coach, I had a massage therapist in house renting a room in my office. I thought there'd be no way that this couldn't succeed. And I couldn't have been more wrong.” (6:17-6:30 | Dr. Lara)
• “Both patient and doctor can be spending really excellent effort on change and transformation, but nothing is guaranteed in the body. You could be taking all the right supplements, eating the right organic foods, but you could have triggers, trauma, body somatic responses to things that aren't even in the plan.” (16:56-17:15 | Dr. Lara)
• “You can become burned out in functional medicine just as easily as you can in standard medicine. So these three tiered membership documents are wonderful to give a visual representation to patients of what's included and what isn't and what to expect.” (32:52-33:06 | Dr. Lara)

Front Office Makeover With the Aha! Method

“You as a practitioner modeling this awareness of energy, emotions, and how to change your state will go a long way to changing your culture,” explains host Dr. Lara Salyer. Burnout happens in every industry and in order to learn how to get through it, it is vital to learn how to activate your own embodied energy. With the aha method, you can get into more of a creative flow state while also making an environment that feels psychologically safe. Without that feeling of safety, creativity cannot flourish. 
 
Aha stands for anchor, highlight, activate. Anchor refers to your core values. Every decision you make for your business needs to be anchored in those key values. This is what helps create that culture of safety and trust. Once your values are anchored, you can move onto the highlight phase. It is pivotal to highlight milestones and feedback opportunities so that you as management and your team can always be on the same page. It can be difficult for some people to give feedback, especially when that feedback may be something they know you won’t want to hear. Providing a means for anonymous feedback can help make this process a little smoother. The final step is to activate your own embodied energy. Get more in tune with your body so that you can control your own energy. This will ensure you are able to enter flow state whenever you need to.
 
Burnout happens in every industry. Be prepared with the aha method, so you can create a cadence of flow and keep pushing through while staying true to your core values. Apply the method to any situation in your business where you are feeling there is a need for improvement. You’ll be surprised how much better you and your team will feel when you’re exchanging frequent feedback, establishing a feeling of safety, and utilizing your embodied energy.
Quotes
• “The reason we start with anchoring values is key because every decision made after this, every communication pattern, every email, every newsletter can mention and reflect these core values. It becomes that drumbeat of your culture, it becomes that all inclusive psychological safety that you start with.” (9:26-9:49 | Dr. Lara)
• “After we anchored the core values we moved to highlight. In this case, we want to highlight milestones and feedback opportunities to help staff grow.” (10:23-10:33 | Dr. Lara)
• “It's best to highlight milestones and feedback opportunities, so we all can get on the same page.” (10:51-10:56 | Dr. Lara)
• “Some people feel very comfortable giving you feedback right away, right to your face. And that's great. But you also want to provide an anonymous suggestion box. We have blind spots, just like everybody and sometimes it can feel difficult if there's a power dynamic to mention something that might be a little upsetting.” (14:29-14:48 | Dr. Lara)
• “Burnout happens to everybody in every industry. The world is going to always have burnout. And in order for us to help excavate this and pedal through it, we need to learn how to activate our own embodied energy.” (15:07-15:21 | Dr. Lara) 
• “If you're feeling low energy, you can activate more energy with different inspiration and expiration breath work. You can also jump up and down, shake or dance. If you're feeling too activated, you can downshift with vagal toning exercises like swaying or humming.” (17:05-17:23 | Dr. Lara)
• “You as a practitioner modeling this awareness of energy, emotions, and how to change your state will go a long way to changing your culture.” (17:33-17:45 | Dr. Lara)
