Bitesize: Signs of Burnout & How to Prevent It With Dr Molly Maloof

Angela is joined by Dr Molly Maloof to discuss burnout and its impact on energy metabolism. This bitesize edition looks into the ways in which we can recognise the signs of burnout, the importance of understanding cortisol levels through testing, and the role of blood sugar regulation in managing burnout. Angela and Dr Molly stress the need for individuals, especially women, to prioritise rest and lifestyle changes when experiencing burnout, rather than relying solely on diet modifications KEY TAKEAWAYS Look out for fluctuating blood sugar levels, low energy, and issues with hormone regulation as potential signs of burnout. Before addressing stress, get hormones tested, assess blood sugar regulation, and evaluate overall physiological function to understand what's happening inside the body. Rest is fundamental to healing from burnout. Slowing down, getting adequate sleep, and prioritizing rest are crucial steps in the recovery process. Eliminate processed and fast foods from the diet to reduce brain fog, inflammation, metabolic inflexibility, and gut dysfunction, which can exacerbate burnout symptoms. BEST MOMENTS "You know, it's funny, when I was writing this book, I had a little bit of a freak out because my editors were like, women who are burned out are going to buy this book." "What they're doing is they're forcing their body to pump out more cortisol the best it can but eventually it's going to just flatline." "It's really high when you're in an insulin resistant state. But when you're fully burned out and you're like I can't get out of bed in the morning because I'm so exhausted."
