How to Avoid Professional Burnout

We have all heard about it, and some of us have experienced it. Chiropractors historically have faced the reality of burnout, sometimes physically, and sometimes emotionally. 

In this episode, I interview Manuel Astruc MD about how to avoid professional burnout. Dr. Astruc has spent years working with professionals on how to decrease the burnout chances we all face. 

3 Burnout Symptoms he discusses

  • Exhaustion

  • A sense of detachment from work

  • Stop feeling effective/being effect

Here are 5 steps you can do to prevent professional burnout 

  • Physical fitness-more more, sleep well, eat healthy

  • Mental fitness-gratitude, mediation

  • Growth rules-learning & growing, connections

  • Blaze your own trail-finding out your unique ability

  • Life by design

Dr. Astruc mentions a book by David Evans and Bill Burnett called Designing Your Life. The keep concepts of that book and how to design your life: “Be Curious, Talk to People, Try Stuff, Tell Your Story” 

Other topics we discuss during this episode 

  • Being “on the clock” with every single patient
