Dr. Aditi Nerurkar is a Harvard physician, television correspondent & speaker. She created a clinical approach to manage stress & burnout after discovering a startling finding in her research: even though stress plays a role in nearly 80% of doctor visits, only 3% of doctors offer stress management. Dr. Nerurkar’s work closes this gap.

Today on the show we discuss: why some people are better than others at managing stress, why resilience can actually be toxic, science backed strategies for reducing stress, how to free yourself from burnout and overwhelm, the type of stress that will wreak havoc on your health, whether or not cold plunges are effective for stress management and much more.
