Gaming
Play still counts.
Gaming is one of those interests people do not always expect when they hear “physician.” That is exactly why it belongs here. Fun does not have to be productive to be valuable.
OFF SHIFT / PORSHA MDThere is life
There is life
beyond the white coat.
Medicine is a major part of Dr. Butler’s life. It is not the only part. PorshaMD makes room for the things that restore energy, spark curiosity, and make a demanding career feel like one part of a fuller life.
01
Wellness & Fitness
Returning to the athlete,
without returning to the old rules.
Before medicine, Dr. Butler was a collegiate track and field athlete. Years of training, residency, fellowship, and clinical work can change the relationship anyone has with exercise and recovery. This chapter is about reconnecting with movement in a way that fits the life she has now.
Not performance for performance’s sake. Not perfection. Consistency, strength, health, and making room for herself too.
RESET / REBUILDHealth belongs to the physician, too.
PORSHATRAVELOUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL
Travel
A wider world than the hospital walls.
Travel creates space to reset, explore, try new food, experience new places, and step outside a profession that can easily consume every available hour. Here, travel is not positioned as escape from medicine. It is part of building a life worth returning to.

Food & Family
The parts that make life feel like life.
Good food, family time, laughter, and ordinary moments matter. A meaningful career is not supposed to erase the rest of the person living it.
05THE REALITY
Building a full life alongside a demanding career.
There is no perfectly balanced version of medicine, wellness, relationships, hobbies, travel, and rest. Some seasons ask more from work. Others create space for something different.
PorshaMD is not about pretending to have the formula. It is about showing the process honestly: making choices, setting boundaries, reconnecting with old parts of yourself, discovering new ones, and refusing to believe that professional achievement has to be the entire identity.
