Are you slogging away on the Treadmill of Achievement, all while dreaming of your ideal practice? One that aligns with your vision and values for how you want to live life?
My guest on the Lean Out Podcast found herself doing family medicine in a traditional insurance model, though she craved more time with patients and a holistic approach to practice. Her true interests and gifts lie in preventive medicine and brain health, synthesizing risk profiles and lifestyle factors to formulate an individualized, anti-aging prescription for each patient.
Dr. Cynthia Libert is a board-certified family physician, founder of Caring for the Body, PLLC – Center for Functional Medicine, and creator of Re-Think Aging and The Joy Prescription—two innovative programs that help high-achieving women and men prevent burnout, optimize brain health, and extend their healthspan. With over 20 years of clinical experience, she integrates cutting-edge functional medicine with biblical wisdom to address the root causes of fatigue, stress, and cognitive decline.
I met Cindy at the 2025 Revitalize: Physician Renewal Retreat, and we’ll both be presenting again at the 2026 retreat! If you’re a physician looking for a transformative retreat with hiking, yoga, poetry and CME, register here and come connect with us in person!
A wife, mother, and seasoned entrepreneur, Cindy shares her multi-year journey to building her dream medical practice. She talks about the difficulties she encountered and the tools she’s used to get to a state of balance. I know you’ll love this inspiring, uplifting conversation!
