If we placed all our healthcare professional's brains in a functional MRI, over 52% would exhibit the characteristic brain wave pattern of BURNOUT. Interestingly, this is identical to "grief" in our brain, which means thousands of doctors, nurses, and physician assistants are showing up to work daily, burdened with the cognitive slowing, brain fog, and hopelessness indicative of burnout. Dr. Lara Salyer, a physician, mother of three who suffered burnout, resigned and is re-imagining the way she practices medicine. After training with the Institute for Functional Medicine and Flow Research Collective, she now teach patients and practitioners how to optimize flow to catalyze their own revolution in healing. She is on a mission to teach 1 million healthcare practitioners how to tap into their own creative flow so they can optimise their cortisol, reclaim autonomy and unlock energetic joy in a world where burnout will always exist.
