How do you move from burnout to building a new model for preventative wellness? In this episode of The InterestingMD Podcast, host Dr. Rob Beck welcomes back Dr. Maryam Zeineddin, family physician and founder of Zili Care, a not-for-profit platform dedicated to empowering people with evidence-based tools for proactive mental, physical, and emotional health.
Dr. Zeineddin shares her journey through repeated burnout and how her dissatisfaction with “band-aid” medicine led her to create the CARE Formula:
Calming the Mind – mindfulness, presence, and nervous system regulation
Activating the Body – movement that prioritizes wellbeing over competition
Reinforcing the Body – better sleep, screen boundaries, restorative routines, and counseling when needed
Engaging the Soul – reconnecting with what brings joy and meaning
She also talks about hosting community conferences and events to make preventative health more equitable, often at little or no cost thanks to sponsorships. Together, Rob and Dr. Zeineddin discuss cultural pressures, parental guilt, and the challenge doctors face in practicing what they preach when it comes to self-care.
