Welcome to Peak Performance Hacks Podcast. I'm Doctor Gan, your host, and my mission with this podcast is to educate my audience about biohacking. Enjoy!
"Burnout...has three sort of main categories: physical fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and cognitive impairment," explains Dr. Gan, host of Peak Performance Hacks Podcast. These categories encapsulate the primary ways burnout manifests, affecting a person’s physical, emotional, and cognitive states. Physical fatigue signifies a prolonged sense of tiredness, emotional exhaustion reflects a drained emotional capacity, and cognitive impairment indicates difficulties with focus, memory, and decision-making.
Dr. Gan begins by discussing the historical roots of meditation in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism, emphasizing the longstanding benefits well-documented by numerous studies, including reduced stress levels, enhanced focus, and better sleep. He then breaks down meditation into accessible forms—starting with mindfulness meditation, where individuals passively observe their thoughts without interaction. He offers practical advice on integrating this practice into daily life amidst the busyness and chaos many people experience.
