This week, Claire is talking to Michael Levitt.  A former Health Care leader, Michael burned out in 2009.

He talks about lessons learned and some strategies to avoid burnout - useful for anyone encountering burnout themselves or with others.  

Takeaways

• Invest in getting enough sleep and prioritize restful sleep for better physical and mental health.
• Be mindful of what you eat and consider getting a food intolerance test to identify foods that may be causing issues.
• Establish boundaries around work and limit screen time to create a healthier work-life balance.
• Be self-aware and make choices that are in your best interest to prevent burnout.
• Organizations should improve communication and support their employees to prevent burnout.

We also talk about the Kevin Hunt podcast about listening to our bodies.
