Dr. Katie To got sick eight years ago and now schedules wellness checks daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually. She says a tired doctor can't care for patients well, and she needs her health to show up for her kids.
Remember, if you don't make time for wellness, you will be forced to make time for illness. This is true for everyone in here. I was forced to make time for illness 8 years ago, and then I would never want to be in that shoe ever again. Now I make time for wellness daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, different tests, different procedures. And to other people, maybe like sound excessive, like, oh my gosh, you're doing a lot of things. Is that for biohacking? Is that for longevity? No. It really for wellness. I want to be well. I want to live my best life in this season and every season I'm in. I want to have energy to play with my kid, to serve my patient, because as a provider, the last thing you want is showing up tired, showing up that you don't have anything to give. You're not helping patients. I'm not helping my patient when I show up like that.
