You know, all of my life, I put a lot of pressure on myself and I think all of us, you know, we were our hard work and our burnout as a badge of honor and I was there. I was not sleeping.

I was working crazy hours. I would come home. I'd spend time with the kids and then I would study late at night. And there was just no time for, you know, any of the things that I enjoyed doing because that would be, you know, lazy.

Hi everyone. Drew Prod here. We have another fantastic conversation for you here today. It's on the topic of why are we also f'ing tired? I'm interviewing Dr. Amy Shah who's an incredible physician who's written a new book and we're going to be talking about burnout, fasting, circadian rhythms and how to reset if you are so f'ing tired.

Stay tuned. It's a wide ranging conversation. I think you're going to enjoy it.

This episode of the podcast is brought to you by Cogni Biotics by Bio Optimizers. Many of you probably have seen the documentary that I made with my business partner, Dr. Mark Heimann called Broken Brain.

And inside of that documentary, we had a whole team of experts around the world from different institutions talk about the gut brain access, which has some really powerful impacts for how we feel and function every day.

These days, we all hear about the power probiotics and how they can support the good bacteria living in our gut.

But what many people don't know is that those bacteria don't just influence how we digest and absorb food. They also play a role in creating the majority of the bodies serotonin or happiness hormone.

Eating a nutrient dense whole foods diet is of course a huge part of creating a healthy gut and a balanced mood. But we can also get a little bit of extra support through a new product that I'm excited to share about from a company that I trust. And that company is bio optimizers and that product is Cogni Biotics.

Dr. Amy Shah, welcome to the podcast. It's a pleasure to have you here.

Thank you so much for having me. This is so cool.

We were chitchatting a little earlier but the book is about being f-ing tired.

I wanted to check in and see on your book tour end as a mom and still practicing physician. How are you doing?

Doing good. I actually stick to my own advice. I get my morning routine in, I get my sleep. If I get my sunlight, then I'm good to go. So I feel good today.

We were chitchatting a little bit of when you get off equilibrium. What are the signals? What do you pay attention to that's a sign that I've gotten a little bit too far off?

I need a reset. I need to ask for help. What is that for you that you've gotten a little bit lack of a better term off track for yourself?

For me, definitely it's my emotional control. So if I am always working and I think you, all of us, we're always working on our mind control. Right?

So how we react to things. When I find that I'm losing control of my emotions, I'm getting a little too angry or short or impatient to emotional about things around me.
