You know what to do. So why can’t you seem to make it work?
For years, patients, family, calls, and your career have come first. Your health kept getting pushed to tomorrow, even though you knew exactly what you should be doing.
We give you the plan, accountability, and permission to finally get strong, build confidence, and feel like yourself again.
01. Fully Customized
You wouldn’t give your patients a cookie-cutter plan. Why settle for one yourself?
Your fitness and nutrition plan is built around your goals, schedule, preferences, equipment, and life in medicine. Personalized to meet you where you are and take you where you want to go.
02. Data-Driven
No more guessing whether what you’re doing is actually working.
We establish your starting point and track what matters most: strength, body composition, habits, energy, and more. Then continually adjust your plan to help you become stronger, fitter, and more confident than ever before.
03. Coaches Who Get It
You don’t need a coach telling you to try harder.
We understand the demands of medicine because we’ve lived them and helped hundreds of women navigate them. Get compassionate, judgment-free coaching through the messy weeks and the great ones.
04. Like-Minded Community
There’s no power greater for change than women lifting each other up.
Join other women physicians working toward similar goals, navigating similar challenges, and cheering you on every step of the way.
REAL PHYSICIANS. REAL RESULTS.
What fellow physicians have to say
“I've lost 25 pounds in six months, and it's for the first time ever that it's felt like a lifestyle change as opposed to dieting to try and lose weight.”
“12-weeks that's all it's been and it's like crazy to say… I feel like myself again!”
“Being in menopause, I was really surprised at my ability to build muscle and the body composition changes that came with it.”
“I think this program is the single best investment I've done for myself since I started med school. I feel strong, I feel good, confidence is up, and it spills over to my energy with the kids.”
Imagine in just 4 months from now…
You walk into any room with strength and confidence.
Your clothes fit beautifully.
You have energy to power through your days.
Being healthy & fit is no longer something you're working towards.
It’s become part of who you are.
Your new identity.
That doesn’t happen with…
- Workout apps.
- The newest diet.
- Or even willpower.
It comes from systems, coaching, and accountability.
The Fit Physician Formula is built on proven, evidence-based principles, strategically designed to the uniqueness of your life as a physician.
Personalized. Progressive. Sustainable.
Designed to hold through call weeks and full clinics.
This is a private, application-only coaching experience for women physicians ready to pursue excellence, not just results.

WHY THE FIT PHYSICIAN EXISTS
Hi, I'm Dr. Suzanne Rutherford, MD.
I'm a physician, a mom, and I've experienced firsthand how easy it is to put your own health last while taking care of everyone else.
There was a point where I didn't recognize myself. I was successful in my career and at home, but frustrated in my body and worried about my future health.
I tried everything, but none of it was built for call, clinic, or the mental load of being a physician.
The shift came when I built an evidence-based strategy that fit into my life instead of forcing my life to fit around it.
That's how The Fit Physician Formula came to be.
We've now empowered 500+ women doctors to become stronger, fitter, and more confident.
