In this episode, we talk with family physician Heather Awad about how to be an example of what’s possible for your patients on their weight loss journey. Heather shares her experience of embracing imperfection and how that has helped her patients shed their own perfectionistic tendencies. Based on neuroscience research, she also gives practical tips on making small changes and creating habits that stick. Join us for an insightful conversation on how to inspire your patients through your own vulnerable human experience.

By sharing her own journey and encouraging patients to embrace imperfection, Heather provides a powerful example of what’s possible for anyone on a weight loss journey. So join us for an inspiring and informative conversation that will help you make small changes, do them consistently, and celebrate your progress towards a healthier and happier life.

Heather Awad is a family physician.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “Be a shining example for your weight loss patients.”

The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients.

At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
