Dr. Pamela Buchanan Broadens Strong Medicine STL to Support Emotional and Physical Wellness
St. Louis, Missouri – Dr. Pamela Buchanan, a board-certified physician with over two decades of experience, announces the evolution of Strong Medicine STL, a holistic health platform addressing emotional and physical wellness with a special emphasis on physician burnout and career reinvention for healthcare professionals.
Having faced her own challenges with burnout, physical health issues, and recovery, Dr. Buchanan has combined her professional expertise with deeply personal experiences to develop a resource-rich platform. Strong Medicine STL now incorporates coaching for healthcare professionals, resources for emotional wellness, and guidance for holistic health improvement.
“Strong Medicine STL is rooted in my journey to reclaim balance after burnout,” said Dr. Buchanan. “I am now the coach I wish I’d had, helping others revive their passion for medicine and achieve better mental and physical health.”
Addressing Burnout and the Emotional Flatline
Dr. Buchanan describes her personal struggles with physician burnout and suicidality as an “emotional flatline.” These experiences not only informed her best-selling book Emotional Flatline but also inspired her advocacy work.
“I know how difficult it can be to recover and rebuild when burnout takes over,” said Dr. Buchanan. “That’s why I work with healthcare professionals to reimagine their careers and rediscover the lives they loved in medicine.”
Her work extends to the Lorna Breene Foundation, where she serves as an ambassador to promote physician suicide prevention. Her contributions to this initiative focus on encouraging healthcare workers to address emotional challenges, seek help, and embrace self-care.
Integrating Physical and Emotional Wellness
Dr. Buchanan’s journey to wellness included overcoming physical health struggles that were intertwined with her emotional recovery. At her heaviest, obesity exacerbated chronic pain in her back, knees, and feet, limiting her mobility and compounding her mental health challenges.
“I realized you can’t separate mental and physical health,” she shared. “Losing 20 pounds eased my chronic pain, allowing me to exercise more effectively and improve my overall health. This transformation was pivotal for my recovery.”
To support others in achieving similar results, Dr. Buchanan utilized terzepatide—a breakthrough medication for weight loss—which she credits as a “game changer” in her journey. Strong Medicine STL now includes telemedicine services to make access to weight management tools, such as terzepatide, easier for patients.
Coaching Healthcare Professionals for Career and Health Resilience
A significant focus of Strong Medicine STL is its physician coaching program, designed to help healthcare professionals navigate burnout and reimagine their careers.
Dr. Buchanan works one-on-one with healthcare workers, helping them develop strategies to rediscover their purpose, build emotional resilience, and address the stressors that contribute to burnout.
By combining her medical expertise with her personal insights, she empowers clients to achieve sustainable changes, both professionally and personally.
Bridging the Gap Between Mental and Physical Health
Strong Medicine STL reflects Dr. Buchanan’s belief in holistic wellness as a necessity, not a trend. The platform offers individuals tools to address:
- Emotional Burnout: Tackling the disconnect that can lead to a flatline in emotional well-being.
- Physical Wellness: Promoting weight management and fitness strategies that enhance overall health.
- Career Reinvention: Guiding healthcare professionals to rediscover their passion and create balanced lives.
This multidimensional approach ensures that both mind and body are prioritized in achieving lasting well-being.
A Personal and Professional Commitment to Change
Dr. Buchanan’s story begins in St. Louis, Missouri, where she pursued an undergraduate degree at Washington University before attending Ross University School of Medicine. Her residency at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis deepened her connection to the community she serves.
With over 20 years of experience in private practice and emergency medicine, Dr. Buchanan has consistently advocated for patient-centered care that looks beyond symptoms to address root causes. Her personal recovery journey, combined with her professional dedication, has inspired a new chapter in her career through Strong Medicine STL.
