Episode 25: Battling Burnout: Tactics for a Balanced and Fulfilling Life

The Evolved Caveman Podcast w/ Dr. John Schinnerer

The latest episode of The Evolved Caveman has dropped, and this time it’s about stress and burnout, comparing the two, unpacking why you should care and what the hell to DO about them. Burnout is a soul-crushing abyss, not just tiredness, but a full-blown system crash caused by chronic stress. Dr. John Schinnerer highlights the grim reality: 82% of employees are at risk of burnout, with healthcare workers, teachers, and younger workers suffering the most. From financial strain to digital overload, from lack of control to toxic workplaces, John lays out the causes of burnout. He also explores the symptoms—mental exhaustion, cynicism, physical issues, and bad behaviors like drinking and Netflix binging. Differences between stress and burnout? Stress can be productive; burnout is a hopeless black hole. Take a listen if you’re interested in the fixes for burnout. If you're drowning in the burnout ocean, don't be a hero; seek help.
