Building More Batteries: Brain Health Strategies for Burnout Recovery with Dr. Em Wong

In this illuminating episode of the Burnout Recovery Podcast, Dr. Jo Braid welcomes Dr. Em Wong, an internal medicine and women's health specialist with expertise in integrative health from Hong Kong. Dr. Wong brings her unique perspective as a physician, author, educator on brain health, and multimedia artist to share powerful insights on the connection between healthy aging and burnout recovery.

What You'll Learn:

  • The battery metaphor for understanding burnout recovery: Are you just coping (neutral) or actually recharging?
  • How to build "additional batteries" through mindset work to increase your resilience
  • The surprising statistic that 40% of dementia cases can be prevented through lifestyle changes
  • Four key pillars for both brain health and burnout prevention: eat, sleep, move, and stress management
  • How internalized ageism affects our potential for growth and recovery
  • The strength it takes to practice self-compassion and why it's essential for healthcare professionals
  • How creativity and right-brain activities can break the anxiety spiral that fuels burnout

I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations. I pay my respects to Wiradjuri Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize the continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. This acknowledgment is a small but important step in recognizing the sovereignty of First Nations peoples and the deep historical and ongoing relationship with Country.
