In this episode of the Fit Physician Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Mamta Gautam, psychiatrist, speaker, and founder of PeakMD, to explore the realities of physician burnout, moral injury, and the hidden cost of caregiving in medicine. With over 35 years of experience supporting doctors, Dr. Gautam shares why none of us are immune to the pressures of practicing medicine. From the “mental health continuum” to the cultural stigma around seeking help, this conversation is both validating and deeply practical.

We dive into the identity challenges physicians face, the guilt that keeps many from prioritizing themselves, and the five key pillars of resilience Dr. Gautam has seen transform lives. This episode will leave you feeling seen—and equipped with actionable tools to protect your well-being without sacrificing your purpose.
