If you know any doctors—we mean, know them well—you know the deep, dark secret hiding under their lab coats: They’re human. When they get stressed, they overeat; when they want to party, they’ll have some drinks; when they worry about their practice, they’ll stay up too late.
“Doctors are not really known to take care of themselves as much as they should!” admits Dr. Thomas Jeneby, a plastic surgeon from Texas. “We suffer more depression, burnout, long hours, heart attacks, strokes and general breakdown. But, there are some perks!”
One perk is that they know how to be healthy—better than anyone—whether they live that way or not. Which is why, when The Remedy wondered how you could live longer, we asked the experts what they do. Here they share their secrets—consider them “perks” from us to you.
