Have you ever had brain fog - a blend of confusion, forgetfulness and lack of focus and mental clarity?
Do you often experience what feels like a constant sense of exhaustion and a lack of motivation to engage in your daily routine?
And now, let’s get personal: do you get up to pee in the night - every night?
If that’s you, you’re not alone.
A recent Instagram poll I did (super scientific, I know) had 40% of respondents currently burned out and 60% recovered from burnout.
The result?
There was literally NO-ONE who hasn't had or isn’t currently experiencing burnout.
It’s not a surprise that our health is suffering, as a collective.
