Today we’d like to introduce you to Delene Musielak, MD, FACP, FAAP, ABOM.
Hi Delene, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
As a young child, I always wanted to become a doctor. In my heart, I really just wanted to serve people on another level. I knew it was my calling. After completing my training, I initially thought I only wanted to care for kids, but then I also fell in love with adult medicine. I subsequently became board certified in both internal medicine and pediatrics. My heart was so happy. It was a long road, but I made it.
Soon to our surprise, my husband and I found out that we were pregnant with triplets! Yes, I said triplets. I was a little nervous and scared at first to say the least, but then I realized that God had put these three babies there so He would take care of everything. And He did! We made it to a little over 36 weeks and the babies did great! They all came home with me on discharge. No complications!
Just when I thought I had enough on my plate, I felt like I wanted to share my experience as a mom and my expertise as a physician. That’s when my show, “The Dr. Mom Show” got started. At first, it was just something I did for fun, but then over the past couple of years, it’s gotten a lot more attention and I’ve stepped it up. My goal is to get evidence-based information out there to people. There are so many resources that are not accredited that people access a daily basis. It results in people believing things that may not be true. Another goal is to empower women. As moms, we are awesome at putting ourselves on the back burner.
From that point, God has allowed what I’m doing to grow. I have had the privilege of being a featured expert in Forbes Health and Parents Magazine, in addition to some other magazines. God has also opened the doors for my sister and I to start our own publishing company, ALEA Publishing, LLC; turn your vision into legacy.
But I haven’t stopped there, I have published several books of my own and I am currently working on a mommy guide, “Dr. Mom’s Ultimate Guide.” I have also become board certified in Obesity Medicine. Obesity was an epidemic even before the pandemic, however, the pandemic has increased the urgency of helping families be healthier.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As we all know, nothing in life comes easy. Being born in a third-world county, I know what it is to be in a difficult situation. My parents gave up everything to migrate to the United States so that we could have more opportunities. I didn’t want that to be wasted. I have pushed and pressed on since I was little. Being a minority female also brings challenges of its own. However, I know God created me perfectly and in His image.
We’ve been impressed with The Dr. Mom Show, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
The Dr. Mom Show was created to be a resource to parents with evidence-based medicine, but to also offer everyday advice and experiences; mom to mom. Being triple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics and Obesity Medicine allows me to offer so much to listeners. In addition to my experience as a mom to triplets, I’m totally a triple threat. I’m different from others because of my personal and professional experience. In addition, my passion to help others is the same passion I have to care for my family. I believe everyone deserves amazing care. I also coach and help others with their quality and health. I can bring a family approach to it with my training and background.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
Persistence has definitely been the most important part of my success. I have learned that the best way to get where you want to go is by pushing and being patient. Although we may have a set timeline in our head, it may not always work out that way, but that doesn’t mean it will never work out. Don’t give up, persist!
