Traversing Waters and Prioritizing Health

Aside from proficiency with medical protocols, procedures, and other knowledge necessary for treating patients, doctors also need to maintain their own health, be it physical, psychological, or even spiritual. A holistic approach should be prioritized to ensure that doctors don’t experience the rising problems of burnout and physical fatigue, which often leads to less work satisfaction, stress, or worse, resignation. Aside from prioritizing health, it is also important for doctors to continue their education. And there are plenty of creative ways to integrate health and education. Better if it’s done inside a medical conference cruise, right?


HealthyMD-CME gives a different flavor of experiential learning, where doctors relax on a cruise to expand their knowledge through various forms of continuing education, backed up by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education. Activities that aim to achieve a healthy lifestyle, guide a proper diet and exercise, and relax the mind and body are at the core of this program. Since the cruise highlights positive reinforcement, fun and exciting activities are also embedded in their programs such as nature adventure, biking, yoga, core training, and other forms of exercise. The cruise also encourages medical professionals to appreciate the history of each region they visit during the travel.

Putting doctor’s health on a pedestal changes the traditional mindset that considers medical professionals mere instruments to treat their patients. The unique cruise experience offered by HealthyMD-CME challenges such a wrong notion, providing a powerful narrative that medical professionals also need to recharge in all aspects of health to become effective and highly functional. It also changes the psyche of medical professionals who are in denial of burnout, stress, and other detrimental conditions that may hamper them to perform at their best. Recognizing that doctors can also feel weak, unmotivated, and stressed is a crucial step in empowering them.


Indeed, maintaining a work and life balance is challenging, but it is always possible. Prioritizing one’s health is like putting your money in the bank; trusting them that they will accommodate your needs when the time comes. The more you invest, the more benefits you will reap in the long run. HealthyMD-CME reminds medical professionals to think of a sustainable future - a life that is prolonged by happiness, satisfaction, and a perpetual thirst for adventure!

Bodybuilding with a Vegetarian Diet

Yes -- it’s possible. When you’re trying to build muscle, it’s important to keep yourself open with diet variety. As Keto diets and protein diets with (impulsive amounts of chicken breast) have taken over in recent years, however, vegetable and plant-based food merely turned into a chicken breast’s side dish or food primarily served with a saucy steak. The preassumptions about vegetables degraded its reputation for building muscle. The truth? You can build muscle and burn significant amounts of fat with plant-based meals alone. Healthy CME river cruises are one of the ways doctors relive and rejuvenate their bodies while earning their CME credits.

Study and have a vacation at the same time! Your typical continuing medical education cruise, or CME cruise , usually has this as a slogan.

Cruises with medical experts on board are not hard to come by nowadays, but you’ll have to choose between an ocean cruise or a river cruise. Here are some differences that can help you determine which type of cruise is for you: I. Mingling Aplenty If you’re someone that loves to socialize then a river cruise is right up your alley.

Promoting Healthy Living in Your Family

Living a healthy lifestyle can be a challenge especially for doctors with families who also work long hours. But that doesn’t give you the excuse to influence your family to live a mediocre lifestyle. As a doctor with the primary advocacy as a doctor to maintain health, it’s your role to promote healthy living and provide them the best care that they can receive. Your presence is you and your family’s advantage. Promoting Healthy Living with Your Partner The best way to influence your kids in the pursuit of healthy living is by encouraging your partner of the lifestyle. You don’t actually have to “sell” the idea to your partner. By eating healthy, exercising, and doing regular meditation/reflection, you give your partner the idea that this “so-called healthy living” is possible. Alternatively, you may also opt to challenge each other for 30 days to induce a positive pressure that encourages each partner to eat, move and think healthy. Incorporating Healthy Living with Fun A
