The ability for physicians and other health professionals to practice high quality care and attain professional satisfaction and meaning in their work has been under continued challenge. These critically important members of our communities experience ongoing threats to their well-being and hence to the quality of care they deliver. The recent pandemic has only exacerbated changes that have occurred over the preceding years in the practice of medicine, exposing even further the fragility of our imperfect health care systems. This podcast explores the many ways that physicians can and do flourish, including a deeper exploration of what it means to work at the frontier of human frailty and suffering, while applying biomedical science and compassionate care to address the complexities of the human condition. It is the hope that this podcast can help support these health professionals and ultimately translate…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T20:18:43.222306+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving-6711532"},"episode":{"title":"Contemplation in Action: Rewiring Burnout from the Inside Out with Dr. Lia Antico | FIM Podcast #37","slug":"contemplation-in-action-rewiring-burnout-from-the-inside-out-with-dr-lia-antico-fim-podcast-37","published_at":"2026-03-04T10:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving-6711532/contemplation-in-action-rewiring-burnout-from-the-inside-out-with-dr-lia-antico-fim-podcast-37","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving-6711532","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving/2597622","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/240596/2597622/flourishing-in-medicine-from-surviving-to-thriving/2026_03_03_18_26_07_b2949d41-12cd-47c1-9d80-2269eb7cb409.mp3","summary":"Today, we are joined by Dr. Lia Antico, a neuroscientist, educator, and contemplative scholar whose work explores the neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying burnout, empathy, and compassion in health professionals. Dr. Lia Antico is an Assistant Doctor at the Medical School of the University of Fribourg in Switzerland and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Brown University School of Public Health. Her research investigates the behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying various states of mind and body, focusing specifically on burnout and anxiety. She develops and tests interventions based on mindfulness aimed at preventing or alleviating burnout and fostering well-being and flourishing at work, especially among healthcare professionals. She is a strong advocate for Contemplation in Action, emphasizing the integration of mindfulness into daily life and relationships to build communities grounded in authenticity and trust. In the conversation, Dr. Antico shares how her early volunteer experiences in hospitals and her Christian contemplative tradition shaped her path into neuroscience and clinician wellbeing research. We also cover: The development of a brief app-based mindfulness intervention at Brown University that reduced burnout by 30% and anxiety by 40% in clinicians The neuroscientific distinction between empathy and compassion and why understanding this difference matters for sustainable caregiving Her vision for creating spaces in hospitals and universities where clinicians can pause, breathe, share experiences, and reconnect with meaning in their work Dr. Antico concludes by emphasizing the importance of building communities grounded in authenticity and trust.
