The Five Pillars of Health Introduction

Module 1: Understanding the Real Impact of Stress on Physicians

You’ll be introduced to the five pillars of health — a framework Tim and Nancy developed through both professional insight and lived experience. These pillars are at the heart of this program as we learned, firsthand, that when even one of them becomes unstable, it quietly affects every part of your life and practice. As we begin to unravel how constant stress shapes your beliefs, habits, and nervous system, you may start to recognize patterns that are slowly eroding your health — often without you realizing it. This module lays the foundation for awareness, healing, and renewal, helping you reconnect with clarity, strength, and a healthier way forward.

Knowing what you want to leave behind is the key to knowing how to move ahead. In this lesson, you’ll be invited to slow down and reflect on who you are — not only as a physician or surgeon, but as a human being whose health and well-being matter. Together, we’ll explore why your personal health is essential to the life you’re building, the legacy you want to leave, and the relationships that matter most.
