181 The Recovery Crisis Nobody Talks About: Doctors, Executives, & the Burnout Myth | Andrew May on Healthed
About this episode
Andrew May discusses the gap between knowing and doing in recovery, particularly for high-functioning individuals facing burnout.
You know what you should be doing. More sleep. Better recovery. Less time running on empty. You have known it for years. So has every burned-out doctor, executive, and elite athlete Andrew May has ever worked with. The problem is not knowledge. It is the gap between knowing and doing. And most people are misdiagnosing the reason for that gap entirely. Andrew May is a Mental Skills and Leadership Coach who has worked with ASX executives, elite sporting teams (Wallabies), and the Australian Defence Force. Andrew gets honest about his own near-burnout at 40, what it took to turn it around, and why even the most informed, high-functioning people are still getting recovery wrong. From there, it gets practical. What strategic recovery actually looks like inside a high-demand schedule. Why most people calling it burnout are actually chronically under-recovered. The exercise prescription that builds real performance capacity without flogging yourself. And how to finally close the gap between what you know and what you do. This one is for doctors. It is also for anyone who has been running hard for too long and suspects the wheels are starting to wobble. 00:00 Burnout rates in medicine…
