Summary
Doctors are overworked. Patients are suffering. It doesn't have to be that way.
Dr. Laurie Marbas knew this all too well. It's one of the reasons why she shifted her practice to lifestyle medicine. This is a patient-first approach that seeks to identify and treat the root cause of illnesses rather than treating symptoms exclusively.
In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Dr. Marbas and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll discuss her experience transitioning to lifestyle medicine that can serve as a blueprint for other doctors to begin incorporating it into their practice as well.
Topics Discussed
- Effective outcomes with lifestyle medicine
- Insurance and lifestyle medicine
- Patient success stories
- Health care costs: traditional vs. lifestyle medicine
- Benefits of businesses incorporating lifestyle medicine for employees
- Unhealthy weight loss
- Body composition and maintaining muscle mass after weight loss
This episode was taped live at the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine in Washington, D.C.

| 0:00.0 | Today on the exam room. If you're in a regular, let's say a family medicine |
| 0:07.2 | practice on my family medicine physician, you will have plenty of sick |
| 0:10.4 | patients. Now the art is finding those who would incorporate it into their life |
| 0:14.8 | but you will always have patients and you will always have a paycheck because insurance |
| 0:19.1 | is paying for sick people to see the doctor. The strategy is how does a doctor who just wants to help |
| 0:25.8 | patients get better do this in their regular busy clinic? Do they have to sit |
| 0:30.9 | outside of time outside of clinic to actually provide that care, which I've been known to do on more than one occasion? |

| 0:49.7 | we've got you know three or four patients waiting for you in the waiting room. |
| 0:53.1 | And then the other pieces that I often get questioned is about, |
| 0:56.0 | well, how do I do this in this setting? |
| 0:58.0 | Because everyone's working in a different type of setting. |
| 1:00.8 | And then how do we get insurance to pay for it? I have less |
| 1:03.8 | concerned about the insurance paying for it. It's a matter of how do I help these |
| 1:07.0 | amazing talented physicians provide the time and fearing it how to make it |
| 1:11.1 | work in their ecosystem. |
| 1:13.0 | Welcome to the exam room podcast brought to you by the Physicians Committee. |
