FROM BURNOUT TO BALANCE

This food and wellness guide written by a nutritionist and healthy cooking expert, features 80 recipes specifically designed to combat the challenging symptoms of burnout: stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, weakened immune system, inability to focus, and disrupted sleep.

We've all had those days when we're just trying to hold it all together. But when "one of those days" turns into weeks, then months, then longer, you start to feel like you're drowning. Stress, anxiety, depression, and fatigue come creeping in. Your immune system goes haywire, your sleep schedule goes out the window, and your brain feels like it's turning to mush. You know that something has to change, but when you're spending all your energy just trying to keep your head above water, change feels impossible.

If this sounds like you, FROM BURNOUT TO BALANCE is here to be your life preserver. Patricia Bannan, MS, RDN, has been where you are now and knows how to break the cycle.
