The Role of Diet and Lifestyle in Burnout

Burnout is not imagined, but it definitely does originate in the brain. So diet and lifestyle stresses just adds to the overall load. You absolutely can't dismiss the environmental aspect because that's such a major driver. If cortisol is being overstimulated, then all of a sudden your body has increased requirement for nutrients like vitamin C and magnesium or certain B vitamins. And if you're not replacing those through diet, you'll go straight into a deficit as well.
