Lara Salyer, DO, IFMCP
I was shocked to discover myself struggling with burnout 15 years into my career as a rural family medicine physician. To alleviate this heartbreak of feeling trapped in a lackluster career, I started painting, drawing and running. This regular dose of neurochemical flow state resulted in decreased stress and cognitive clarity.
Fascinated by this, I began studying the effects of stress/cortisol on physiology, and certified with the Institute for Functional Medicine to open a holistic membership practice in my rural community.
I continued studying with the Flow Research Collective to learn how to coach flow acquisition and transformative high flow leadership. I infuse these trainings into my patient care and Catalyst™ services for health professionals to learn how to redesign their own creative, efficient, and flow-channeled career.
I am an international speaker, author, physician and Chief Creativity Catalyst™ on a mission to teach 1 million health professionals how to tap into their own creative flow so they can reclaim a work/life masterpiece of autonomy, ease, and joy in a world where burnout will always exist.
My memoir Right Brain Rescue: One physician's journey from burnout to bliss reveals the creative muse in all of us is available on Kindle, paperback and Audible. My podcast, The Catalyst is available on Apple iTunes, and Spotify.
