According to recent surveys, the number of people who say they are experiencing burnout is on the rise. Dr. Zarya Rubin, who practices functional medicine in Portland, specializes in identifying and relieving burnout. She started a podcast last year that she both produces and hosts called “Outsmart Burnout.” She says burnout can manifest as physical and mental exhaustion, brain fog, an increase in anxiety and a decrease in productivity. The factors that contribute to this phenomenon can include almost every aspect of life, from work and family dynamics to national politics. We sit down with Rubin to hear more, including her recommendations for getting relief — and take your calls. Our call-in number is 888-665-5865.
