  Episode 133: Muscle, Metabolism & Longevity

  Sep 25, 20266 minS1

  In Episode 133 of Doctor’s Wealth and Wellness, Norm Wright focuses on the practical foundation of long-term healthspan for employed physicians—protecting muscle, supporting metabolic health, and fitting both into an already full clinical schedule. He outlines three evidence-based strategies: prioritizing protein intake of roughly 1.2–1.5 g per kg of body weight distributed across meals (25–40 g per eating occasion) to defend lean mass, especially when appetite is low or GLP-1 medications are involved; scheduling two or three short (15–25 minute) resistance sessions per week using compound movements, with consistency valued over intensity; and pairing simple wearable or app tracking of sleep, resting heart rate, and activity with one weekly review so patterns can be noticed and only one variable adjusted. The episode emphasizes that muscle and metabolic health form the infrastructure for a multi-decade career while also reducing burnout risk, and it closes with a seven-day challenge to practice one of the strategies. Examples in this episode are hypothetical and not representative of a specific individual.

  Episode 132: Accelerating Wealth as a W-2 Doctor

  Sep 18, 20266 minS1

  In Episode 132 of Doctor’s Wealth and Wellness, Norm Wright gives employed W-2 physicians a clear, ordered playbook for accelerating wealth inside corporate benefits, stressing that the highest-leverage moves remain the tax-advantaged accounts already available and that skipping the proper sequence is the most common reason high earners under-accumulate. He outlines three priorities: first capture the full employer match, max the 2026 403(b)/401(k) deferral limit of $24,500 (under age 50), and stack a governmental 457(b) if offered for nearly $50,000 of sheltered income; second, fully fund the HSA (if eligible) and complete the annual backdoor Roth IRA conversion; and third, once tax-advantaged accounts are maximized, automate surplus savings into a simple growth-oriented taxable brokerage. The episode underscores that consistent, ordered use of these accounts—not investment selection—drives the difference between average and accelerated wealth, and it closes with a weekly audit challenge to close the biggest contribution gap. Examples in this episode are hypothetical and not representative of a specific individual.

  Episode 131: Corporate Hospital Burnout is real, how can you slow it

  Sep 11, 20266 minS1

  In Episode 131 of Doctor’s Wealth and Wellness, Norm Wright addresses the reality of corporate hospital burnout—driven by productivity metrics, documentation load, and throughput pressure—and notes that national 2026 surveys still show many physicians experiencing symptoms and considering reduced hours or earlier exits. He emphasizes that meaningful recovery does not require a sabbatical and offers three evidence-based habits that fit into a real clinical schedule: protecting a consistent wind-down window (screens off 45 minutes before bed) three or four nights a week even if total sleep remains short; completing two or three brief 15-minute resistance sessions per week as a nervous-system circuit breaker; and adding one daily micro-recovery anchor (short outdoor walk, protein-focused lunch away from the screen, or brief breathing) paired with a simple weekly wearable data review. The episode stresses that these individual habits buy capacity and career sustainability while larger system fixes lag, and it closes with a seven-day challenge to practice one strategy and report the results. Examples in this episode are hypothetical and not representative of a specific individual.

  Episode 130: Sticky Inflation & Higher Interest Rates

  Sep 4, 20267 minS1

  In Episode 130 of Doctor’s Wealth and Wellness, Norm Wright addresses sticky inflation in the mid-3% range and the Fed’s higher-for-longer rates (3.50–3.75%) for employed physicians under 50, noting that while markets and net worth have held up thanks in part to AI investment, real purchasing power of W-2 income is what builds long-term options. He outlines three practical, low-complexity strategies already available in most corporate benefits packages: fully maximizing tax-advantaged accounts (employer match, 2026 deferral limits, and HSA if eligible); defending cash flow by trimming one or two flexible spending categories to combat lifestyle creep and redirect the savings; and maintaining a growth-oriented (80%+ equity) portfolio while keeping a 3–6 month high-yield cash buffer and rebalancing annually. The episode emphasizes automation and consistency over market timing, closes with a seven-day action challenge, and invites listeners to report what they implemented. Examples in this episode are hypothetical and not representative of a specific individual.

  Episode 129: New Attending Wellness Part 2 – Keeping Your Early Habits Alive When the Schedule Gets Real

  Aug 28, 20266 minS1

  In Episode 129 of Doctor’s Wealth and Wellness builds on the earlier wellness advice for new attendings by focusing on how to keep those early habits alive once the schedule intensifies and the initial excitement fades. It offers three practical strategies: create stripped-down “minimum viable” versions of each habit so the chain never breaks on brutal days, schedule daily anchors and weekly recovery rituals on the calendar as non-negotiable clinical-style obligations, and install a simple five-minute weekly reset that reviews what worked, what got in the way, and one adjustment for the coming week. The episode emphasizes that the physicians who still have strong energy years later are the ones who designed flexible, structured systems that survive real attending life, allowing wellness to keep compounding and support the financial habits discussed previously. Examples in this episode are hypothetical and not representative of a specific individual.
