In Episode 91 of Doctor’s Wealth and Wellness, a Friday wellness episode set in mid-January 2026, host Norm Wright, a Certified Financial Planner with SKC Financial Group, tackles the widespread fade of New Year’s health resolutions among physicians as winter drags on and demanding schedules take their toll. Referencing physician lifestyle trends showing that many doctors launch the year with strong fitness, nutrition, or stress-management intentions but see over half slip by February, Norm emphasizes that these lapses are not failures but chances to refine goals for sustainability. Drawing from habit-building principles, he presents three effective strategies to maintain momentum: performing a mid-month goal audit to reassess and realistically adjust targets (such as shortening workouts during call weeks, with research indicating boosted adherence), building accountability through regular check-ins with a colleague, spouse, or group to transform setbacks into encouragement (linked to higher success rates), and incorporating meaningful non-food rewards for milestones to reinforce positive habits (shown to improve retention). These gentle adjustments help physicians combat seasonal burnout, enhance resilience for patient care, family life, and financial stability, and promote compounding small wins. Norm concludes with a seven-day challenge to implement one strategy, invites listeners to journal experiences and email support@skcfinancial.com for personalized tips, encourages sharing the episode with struggling colleagues, and teases the upcoming Tuesday finance topic—live for today, plan for tomorrow.
