Does it feel like your life is too busy, your days are too short, and you’re feeling overworked, overstressed, and overtired? Chances are you’ve asked your doctor for help, only to be told that it’s because of your age, or your workload, or, worse, that it’s just “normal.” If so, you’re not alone.
Women in particular are suffering from an epidemic of fatigue and burnout. So many women feel alone in their inability to manage all of their personal and professional demands. Many assume their fatigue is just a normal and inevitable part of life, but it’s not normal at all.
On today’s episode, I speak with Dr. Amy Shah about the many moving pieces to good health. Stress, diet, the microbiome, hormones, and the immune system are just some of the parts that impact how well we feel day-to-day. Unfortunately, it can be easy for one or more of these areas to get thrown off-kilter, leading to fatigue and burnout.
