In this episode, Senior 360 Health Trainer James Francis sits down with Dr. Giri J. Peterson, Sr. to unpack what burnout really is—and why it’s more than “just being tired.” Together, they explore how burnout can affect how you think, feel, and respond, especially in high-pressure environments where you’re constantly managing responsibility and stress that doesn’t always get recognized.

They also discuss why skipped meals, poor sleep, and constantly “pushing through” can quietly become normal—until your baseline for functioning changes. You’ll hear practical ways to notice early warning signs, reset your mindset, and build healthier recovery habits that support long-term wellbeing.
