Our world is full of never-ending opportunities to be stimulated.

Veterinary jobs reinforce this with overbooked schedules and chaotic days.

The unpredictable nature of practicing medicine doesn't help.

Many of us get through our days with a combination of adrenaline and caffeine.

We then collapse in physical exhaustion when we get home... but the looping thoughts about work, cases, and life are relentless.

With the thought loops come a steady dose of cortisol.

The long-term impact on our physiology... not good.

The best part... you can do it anywhere!
