If you’re over 40 and suddenly feel tired, moody, unable to lose weight, less motivated, or simply not like yourself anymore, you’re not alone, and Dr. Tamara Adams believes those changes deserve a closer look.

In this episode of the One Percent Doctor Podcast, Adam Lamb sits down with Dr. Tamara Adams of Revival Hormone Health to discuss women’s hormones, perimenopause, menopause, thyroid health, testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, inflammation, nutrition, and the symptoms women can experience during midlife.

Dr. Adams shares her own journey beginning in her mid-40s, when she experienced new anxiety, disrupted sleep, frozen shoulder, fatigue, irritability, weight struggles, and other changes. After seeking answers, she eventually explored estrogen, progesterone, thyroid treatment, testosterone, and nutrition, and says the experience ultimately inspired her to help other women navigate similar challenges.

They also discuss why individualized care matters, why symptoms and lab ranges don’t always tell the same story, the connection between hormones and quality of life, and why midlife doesn’t have to mean giving up on your energy, health, relationships, or purpose.

Highlights:

You’ll hear how Dr. Adams connected her own midlife symptoms with hormonal changes and why that experience led to Revival Hormone Health.

Adam and Tamara discuss estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid health.

Why fatigue, mood changes, weight struggles and loss of motivation deserve attention.

How nutrition and inflammation can fit into a broader health strategy.

Why personalized care may require looking beyond a single symptom or lab result.

What happens when a doctor becomes so committed to saving other people that he stops protecting his own health?

Dr. James C. Wittig is an orthopedic oncology surgeon who built his career treating children and adults with bone and soft-tissue cancers, performing complex limb-sparing surgeries, training under pioneers in orthopedic oncology, and even serving as a first responder at Ground Zero after 9/11. But after years of demanding surgical schedules, limited sleep, enormous responsibility, and pushing his body to perform, his own health eventually demanded his attention.

In this episode of the One Percent Doctor Podcast, Dr. Wittig and Adam Lamb have a candid conversation about physician burnout, sleep, stress management, peak performance, meditation, prayer, cardiovascular health, physician wellness, work-life balance, and the habits doctors often overlook while caring for everyone else.

This conversation is especially important for physicians, surgeons, residents, medical students, healthcare professionals, and high achievers who believe they can keep pushing indefinitely. Dr. Wittig shares what he would change if he could go back 10 years, why recovery matters just as much as performance, and why being your best physician starts with becoming your healthiest self.

You’ll Learn:

→ Dr. Wittig explains how a blue-collar childhood, EMT experience, NYU Medical School, Columbia residency, and mentorship from pioneers in orthopedic oncology shaped his career caring for cancer patients.

→ You’ll hear what decades of demanding surgical schedules taught him about physician wellness, sleep deprivation, stress, cardiovascular health, exercise, nutrition, recovery, and the danger of feeling invincible.

→ The conversation explores practical approaches to peak performance for doctors, including meditation, prayer, heart-rate variability, wearables, intentional recovery, neurofeedback, and creating moments of calm during demanding workdays.

→ Dr. Wittig also shares his evolving vision for Mandala Medical Group and a more holistic approach focused on brain, body, soul, spirit, wellness, longevity, performance, and supporting people through difficult healthcare journeys.

If losing weight changed your face, or you’re tired of constantly repeating facial filler treatments, there may be another option worth understanding.

In this episode of the 1% Doctor Podcast, Adam Lamb sits down with Los Angeles facial plastic surgeon Dr. Neal Deot to explore facial fat grafting, facial volume loss, GLP-1 weight loss, facial rejuvenation, fillers, facelifts, rhinoplasty, and the changing world of cosmetic surgery. Dr. Deot explains how facial fat transfer uses fat taken from another area of your own body to restore lost facial volume and create a more natural-looking result. He also discusses why patients experiencing facial hollowing after significant weight loss may be searching for alternatives to traditional dermal fillers, how nanofat and growth-factor-rich material can be incorporated into treatment, and why the relationship between a plastic surgeon and patient matters just as much as surgical technique.

If you’re considering facial rejuvenation, facial fat grafting, dermal fillers, a facelift, or another cosmetic procedure, this conversation will help you understand the options, questions to ask, and philosophy behind choosing the right physician.

You’ll Learn:

Why major weight loss and GLP-1 medications can make pre-existing facial volume loss more noticeable, and the options facial plastic surgeons may use to address it.

How facial fat grafting works, including where fat can be harvested, how it is transferred into the face, and why Dr. Deot describes it as a natural alternative to repeated filler treatments.

The differences between facial fillers, facial fat transfer, and surgical facial rejuvenation, including why jawline aging may involve more than simply adding volume.

How Dr. Deot uses nanofat and cell-assisted lipotransfer concepts in his approach to facial rejuvenation, along with the importance of patient communication, follow-up care, and realistic expectations.
