Episode 96: Combatting fatigue and burno...

KHALIL DIAB
About this episode

A great podcast the beginning of the school year. We all lead fast lives which become faster as the school year starts for those of us with kids. Juggling work, kids' activities, life stressors, worrying about parents in Lebanon for the Lebanese listeners ... this all leads to fatigue, tiredness, and burnout. Burnout has become a major issue in healthcare workers, and is leading to thinning out of the workforce.

In this episode, we discuss these topics and others with Dr. Labib Ghulmiyyah, a Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist, who is now in Miami but was in Lebanon prior for 12 years. Dr. Ghulmiyyah has authored 3 books which can be found on Amazon:

- A Toxin-Free Pregnancy

- Gen Tox Live Clean

- Reframing the Fourth Trimester. 

Dr. Ghulmiyyah has also started the Vitality Project to provide individual and corporate consultations on wellness and combatting burnout. This project focuses on digging deep into the different pillars of a person's life, their nutrition, exercise, stressors, toxin exposures, etc.. and targeting them one pillar at a time. Dr. Ghulmiyyah's approach may be life changing and an eye opener for people.

This episode can also be found on Apple, Spotify, Anghami, iHeartRadio, all all podcast sites. It can also be found on YouTube.
