What happens when a conventionally trained physician begins questioning the career path and medical framework she has known for decades?
In this episode of Driven: Unscripted Success, Nareman Hamdan speaks with Dr. Myrto Ashe, an MD who practiced family medicine for 20 years before transitioning into functional medicine and building a largely virtual micro-practice.
Myrto shares how stepping away from medicine to raise her three sons, followed by a personal health experience in her family, led her to read more broadly and eventually return to medicine in a different way. She discusses the uncertainty of moving from salaried physician to entrepreneur and the group of physicians she credits with making that transition possible.
The conversation also explores Myrto’s commitment to remaining both critical and curious, her belief that physicians have a responsibility to examine evidence rather than simply accept what they hear, and her approach to creating meaningful work that does not overwhelm the rest of life.
Nareman and Myrto also discuss leadership in a small practice, meditation and balance, learning through creating courses, and why a peer group at the same stage of development can sometimes provide a uniquely valuable source of confidence and support.
