Top 3 GLO Nutrition Tips To Avoid BURNOUT
Updated: Oct 29, 2024
Thank you to amazing Kezia Luckett from the UK for this wonderful opportunity to share this morning on her LIVE interview. I only had 30 minutes so I talked about what I feel is my most important nutrition tips for entrepreneurs to avoid exhaustion and burnout (I have been there so I know what it's like to burn out....and then SLOWLY recover...and I still have to check myself sometimes because now I recognize the signs and it is not worth it to keep pushing yourself!) My main takeaway: HEALTH COMES FIRST IF YOU WANT A SUCCESSFUL BUT ALSO SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS! Do you want short term success or success that lasts? The most successful entrepreneurs THAT LAST are the ones that take care of their bodies (and minds) so they can continue to give, and be creative (and be inspired!) I have seen many entrepreneurs come on strong but then burnout, or even worse, end up getting illness, because they didn't take care of them selves while focusing on building their business. You can't keep growing and giving to others if you have nothing left to give yourself! Here are my top 3 tips to keep in mind when we are so busy and stressed out (watch video for more info): 1) Cut out the refined sugars. Read: *SUGAR IS POISON.

My top fave medicinal herbs for stress: Ashwaghanda Holy Basil Rhodiola My top fave medicinal mushrooms for stress: Reishi Cordyceps Lion's Mane (** Have you tried GLOPRO Immune Blend that has all 3 of these medicinal mushrooms...plus other amazing herbs and spices? https://superhealthnation.com/shop/supplements/glopro-immune-blend-smoothie-booster/) Here's the interview:
The line about not being able to keep giving when you have nothing left really hit home. Burnout sneaks up quietly, and most people notice too late. I have watched friends push through it and pay for it later. I once read a creative branding agency piece about how agencies protect their teams from creative exhaustion by building real rest into the process. It is not a luxury. It is what keeps the work good over the long run. Health first is not just advice. It is strategy.
The line about not being able to keep giving when you have nothing left is the one that hits hardest, because burnout sneaks up before you notice it. I once pushed through a busy month on coffee and sugar and crashed hard right after. While reading about stress and adaptogens, I noticed people searching pay someone to take my Claude exam, which made me think about how we look for relief instead of fixing the routine causing the strain.
