On top of everything else the pandemic has been responsible for, add a rise in work-related burnout to the pile. Thanks to the combination of WFH in a pandemic, increased anxiety about personal and family health, an uncertain economy and job market as well as an increase in working hours, more people than ever have cited burnout as a mental health condition they’re currently struggling to cope with. The World Health Organisation (WHO) first recognised burnout as a mental health condition caused by chronic workplace stress back in 2019. Burnout symptoms – which can be physical or mental - include fatigue, brain fog, reduced productivity, emotional distancing from work and a general feeling of overwhelm. 

If this is all sounding familiar, then The Curiosity Academy’s new class on biohacking might just be for you.

A growing number of experts (and high-flying Silicon Valley millionaires) have turned to biohacking to find natural ways to operate at peak performance. Biohackers believe that optimising your own health and biology can not only ensure you operate at your absolute best, but will also help with practical problems such as focus, energy or overwhelm – and can be a successful way of combatting the effects of burnout. Using techniques such as breathwork, sleep, diet, as well as understanding neuroscience and our body’s natural behaviours, biohackers believe there are practical and natural ways to tackle many contemporary health conditions.

One such expert is Charlène Gisèle, a former lawyer turned primal health coach who suffered her own career burnout. After quitting her job in law, Charlène undertook years of study in primal health, which she has wrapped into this exclusive hour-long class for The Curiosity Academy. In The Curiosity Academy’s hour-long class, Charlène will explain why biohacking is the key to achieving wellness and balance in a working world, the science behind her method as well as sharing numerous practical tips and techniques for using biohacking at home to tackle the symptoms of burnout. Take her expert class today.
