Tips to Boost and Protect Your Brain

B.B. King famously sang “The Thrill is Gone.” This, in many ways, describes burnout - the feeling of exhaustion, cynicism, loss of motivation and productivity. It is often defined as the absence of joy or the “spark” is gone. But burnout is not just about jobs and careers. There is caregiver burnout, parental burnout, and just burnout towards day-to-day life. These feelings are understandable in our current times but are not inevitable. We now know we can bring the fire and joy back.    

Breakthrough brain research is uncovering surprising, key, actionable steps to avoid and reverse the common and debilitating feelings of burnout.  

Consider these staggering new insights highlighting the critical need to address a burnout epidemic.

• Burnout of any kind is associated with adverse health outcomes such as depression, pain, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and premature mortality.
