Understanding Burnout - with Miss Nutritionist, Rosie Millen

Welcome to episode four of Health Unwrapped, where we are speaking to Rosie Millen aka Miss Nutritionist about her experience of burnout, which she experienced six years ago after collapsing in a park. Rosie explains how the World Health Organisation legitimised burnout in May 2019 and how it had such a huge impact on her life, she had to stay in bed for three years to recover. 

You can imagine how challenging that must have been, now more than ever as we are all currently going through our own lockdown and dealing with the frustrations it brings. However, what will be interesting is listening to this episode in the contact of being forced to slow down and taking stock to think about what Rosie explains as contributing factors to causing burnout.
