0:00.0	Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen podcast. I'm Jason Wackeb, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.
0:08.6	Dr. Amy Shaw is a double-board certified medical doctor and nutrition expert with training from
0:13.6	Cornell, Columbia, and Harvard universities. She's got an amazing new book out called,
0:18.5	I'm So F Entired, a proven plan to beat burnout, boost your energy, and reclaim your life.
0:24.0	Sounds very good to me. To boot, she's also part of her life-changing functional nutrition
0:29.6	coaching program, which we're going to talk about at the end of the show. She's also a lovely
0:33.7	human being and it's an honor to have her here today. Amy, welcome. Thanks so much for having me,

1:48.9	know that stress in general has risen by 33% stress and burnout and women feel it disproportionately
1:57.8	more than men. Women now have 69% of women report stress-related burnout-related symptoms,
2:07.5	whereas 50% of men report stress and burnout-related condition. Now, 50% is a lot,
2:14.9	but 69% is an epidemic. Now, we know that one of the months during the pandemic,
2:21.3	100% of the jobs lost were women leaving the workplace because various reasons. And now we know
