Dr. Delia McCabe explains why burnout is worsening worldwide, why it’s not just about work anymore, and why holidays don’t solve it—highlighting the real shifts needed to break the cycle.


Key takeaways:

  • Burnout now affects 60–80% of people in some regions and is tied to modern life overload

  • Signs include overwhelm, exhaustion, and loss of confidence

  • The prefrontal cortex consumes a huge amount of energy, leading to mental and physical fatigue

  • Quick fixes and holidays create “boomerang burnout” without deeper change

  • Recovery comes from reframing thoughts, calming the nervous system, and replenishing nutrients.
