Three strategies to optimise sleep.
I'm not going to tell you to get more sleep - you've probably heard that already. What you don't know is that, more important than the hours of sleep, is its quality and profitability. I'll leave you with three strategies or biohacks to get better sleep and recover more, even while maintaining the same hours of sleep.
The "creativity" behind the vegetarian diet.
The campaign in favour of the vegetarian diet as the saviour of world civilisation has not lost any momentum over the years. It has probably gained steam with the documentaries, personalities and influencers who advocate it and swear it can save the planet and our health. Anything that can improve health and performance has my utmost interest. I have tried to assess its merit, having come to some conclusions Read before starting (or continuing) in this boat.
The Hidden Side of Burnout
burnout comes when we stop working. Not because we don't want to, but simply because we can no longer do it. This seems to be the hidden side that goes unnoticed. But it can be the key to getting it back.
First reason why I do not follow or recommend a vegetarian diet
To talk about nutrition and diet these days is to get into a violent war. Nevertheless, I decided to dive into history, science and arguments to answer one question: is it the best for health and performance? In this first text, I dwell on the history of the food pyramid and how we were probably fooled.

Burnout is not a mood disorder. Point.
The origin of the misunderstanding arises from assuming that the body does not act because the mind does not want to. It follows that this is the problem: the mind not wanting to. We often confuse fatigue, sleep disturbance and frustration that we feel because the body no longer responds as it once did, and is not able to perform as it once did, as symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Q&A: "Burnout related question: you mentioned to me being like stage 2 of "burnout". May I know how many stages there are?"
Burnout is not a lack of will, motivation or drive. It is not a depressive state and, therefore, not treatable with antidepressants.
Burnout is just a drained state affecting those who pushed too much for too long in pursuit of their goals, dreams and ambition.
Q: "How does biological wear and tear of the adrenal glands manifest itself?"
Simply put, Burnout is the "end" state of a picture characterized by an inability of our systems to act appropriately in the circumstances.
The cause of chronic fatigue may be in your gut, not in your head
The researchers could not define if the alterations are cause or consequence, but in any case they have already given good clues for the intestinal flora to be evaluated and corrected.
