Listen now
Description
Stephen Yeh and Mike Chang dive into the concept of burnout, exploring its meaning, causes, symptoms, and strategies for recovery.  They discuss burnout as a state of mental and physical exhaustion where one is unable to function due to severe stress, leading to symptoms like persistent headaches, injuries, and an overall sense of energy depletion.  Mike shares his recent personal experience with burnout, characterized by intense headaches and an inability to concentrate, attributing it to a significant increase in workload and neglecting self-care essentials like sleep, movement, and nutrition.  He emphasizes the importance of foundational health practices in preventing and recovering from burnout, recounting his own recovery process through extended rest, reduced workload, and self-care routines.  The conversation also touches on the necessity of balancing work demands with health maintenance to achieve long-term success and the realization that excessive work without adequate rest can diminish overall productivity and well-being.
