I'm burnt out. How about you? It's time to take a look at chronic stress. I had an incredible conversation with Dr. Romie Mushtaq about stress, brain health and burn out. Her message: chronic stress, left untreated, can cause neuroinflammation—a condition that leads to a "busy brain," characterized by anxiety, inability to focus, and sleep disturbances. Neuroinflammation occurs when chronic stress creates inflammation in the brain, particularly in the hypothalamus, which she refers to as the "airport traffic control tower" of our brain. This area is responsible for regulating our circadian rhythm, mood, and cognitive functions. When it's under constant stress, it becomes overwhelmed, leading to symptoms like adult-onset ADHD, ruminating anxiety, and insomnia. The statistics are staggering: 82% of people who took Dr. Romie's Busy Brain Test scored above 30, indicating a significant level of neuroinflammation and chronic stress! Do you have a busy brain? Know your brain score, which can be assessed through a simple, validated neuropsychology test available on Dr. Romie's website. Dr. Romie's eight-week plan, detailed in her book "The Busy Brain Cure," provides a comprehensive approach to reducing chronic stress, calming the busy brain, and restoring sleep and focus. Her plan is based on rigorous research and has been tested on thousands of professionals, effective in combating the harmful effects of chronic stress.

From Burnout to Brilliant Busy Brain Cure Take away: There are tangible steps you can take, even with a stressful lifestyle, to mitigate the effects of chronic stress and find more balance and wellbeing. Dr. Romie provides evidence-based yet practical suggestions to make this possible. Money Learnings: Growing up in an immigrant family, Dr. Romie was taught by her parents to save money diligently, have a relentless work ethic and drive for academic excellence, and that openly talking about money is culturally inappropriate. However, her aunt taught her bargain-hunting skills like finding sales, discounts and deals when shopping in order to get value for money spent. Overall, enjoying or splurging money was discouraged while financial prudence, saving, and a puritanical work ethic was strongly emphasized in her childhood. This left her with some money scarcity mindsets that she seems to have later overcome as an adult.

Getting enough sleep and having a consistent sleep routine is critical for mental and physical health. Eating a balanced, nutritious diet fuels the body and brain properly. Avoid restrictive diets that can negatively impact mental health. Hormone imbalances like thyroid dysfunction can result from chronic stress, disrupting sleep, metabolism and more. Getting labs tested can identify issues. Using technology like phones and computers too much, especially before bed, can harm sleep and mental health. Take a digital detox. Being authentic to oneself and confident, not conforming to others' expectations, is key for happiness and fulfillment. Practicing self-love, self-acceptance and self-compassion helps achieve inner peace and harmony.

About Dr. Romie and her company, the brainSHIFT Institute Dr. Romie is a triple board-certified physician in neurology and integrative medicine, so she combines Eastern and Western medicine. She is also Chief Wellness Officer at Evolution Hospitality and knows the events industry well. The brainSHIFT Institute brings mental health programs to corporate America. People contact them because they know Dr. Romie has taken care of the well-being of employees in the workplace, and they want to know how to do that for themselves and their teams. Dr. Romie's journey Dr. Romie is the daughter of South Asian immigrant parents. She was born and raised in the United States, and from the time she was born until she turned eighteen, her father always insisted she became a doctor. Her parents were STEMinists and raised her to be one too. When she entered the world of neurology, less than five percent of American brain doctors were women. In addition to seeing patients, she was also doing cutting-edge research. Although she loved her job, she suffered between 2008 and 2009 because she felt alone. Her patients noticed her suffering, but none of her colleagues did. She got so sick from all the stress that she had to have life-saving surgery in 2010. On her journey to healing after the surgery, she found her path to mindfulness and integrative medicine. Between working with healers around the world, returning, and getting board-certified in integrative medicine, she realized that American employees are being killed by the workload and all the stress. So she embarked on a mission to stop corporate America from hurting the brains of its employees. She did a TEDx Talk in 2018, and it went viral. Then the pandemic happened, and the mental health crisis that the experts already knew existed became publicly known, and people began to talk about it. Dr. Romie got to where she is today because she does not want anyone else to feel alone and suffer without help. Breaking the stress-success cycle The mentality of professionals in the meetings and events industry, thinking they are only as good as their last event, must change because it is a recipe for disaster for their brains and can lead to burnout. Dr. Romie breaks it down into brain science and calls it the stress-success cycle. She points out that there is a way for event professionals to stop chasing a success high, keep an even keel in their brain, and allow that to translate to their business. Some symptoms of the stress-success cycle Waking up with no energy. Needing caffeine to get going in the morning and keep going throughout the day. Having a constantly-multiplying to-do list, yet being unable to focus. (Adult-onset ADD) Feeling anxious. Disturbed sleep. (Known as a busy brain) Not being able to take work out of your brain. Needing to use alcohol or supplements to take the edge off. Needing to take a sedative at night to calm down. A better way to function There is a better way to function. Events professionals can be successful in their business and with clients- even with a busy brain. The first step is to become aware that you are in a stress-success cycle and have a busy brain. (Take Dr. Romie's free online test to assess your stress level.) Sleep Research has shown that sleep is the foundational requirement for resetting a busy brain. So getting enough sleep is essential for professionals who want to be successful. In the brainSHIFT protocol, they say that sleep is the new status symbol of successful professionals. Chasing the dopamine-adrenalin high Some event professionals continue to do event planning because they are chasing the rush of the dopamine-adrenalin high that comes when an event has gone well. But constantly seeking that high is unhealthy for the brain because it can damage the HPA access and deplete the cortisol and adrenalin coming from the adrenal glands. Finding balance To find balance, you must create micro-habits or make small brain shifts to maintain sustained dopamine and adrenalin levels. That will allow you to wake up each morning feeling energized without needing a crisis to fuel you. To get a natural dopamine high each morning, you must get more than four hours- preferably six to nine hours of sleep every night. Easy actions to take at night Modern-day lifestyles do not give most of us the luxury of having mindful morning routines. So, at brainSHIFT, they have designed some mindfulness meditation exercises for busy brains that are to be done at night after digital devices have been put away. Dr. Romie's morning rule Dr. Romie has found one morning rule particularly effective for her clients: They must give her thirty minutes before they pick up their phones, look at their calendars, read emails, or engage with social media. Instilling corporate mindfulness BrainSHIFT has developed an entire framework called Building a Culture of Wellness to assist leaders in putting their people first and caring for the mental health of their teams. Toxic leaders When a leader is toxic, it usually means they have something toxic and unprocessed in their life. As a consultant, Dr. Romie believes her job is to show toxic leaders compassion. In the leadership talk at brainSHIFT, they engage all levels of leadership within organizations to teach them how to brain-shift for their entire team. Health advice for women entrepreneurs and their teams Dr. Romie advises women entrepreneurs to prioritize sleep and have their thyroid panels and hormones checked annually. The best thing women leaders can do for their teams is to leave them alone from 9 pm to 7 am.

How do we shut off the constant firing? The input? The inboxes?! All of these pieces of information that our brains are handling on a daily basis? To help facilitate this conversation there are a lot of experts that we could have brought on, but I believe there is no better expert suited to this discussion than Dr. Romie Mushtaq! Dr. Romie is an expert on brain health and a triple board-certified neurologist. As someone who is traditionally trained, Dr. Romie has been frustrated by what she has seen over and over again in clinical practice when it comes to the intersection of our hormonal health as women and how that influences the performance of our brains. In particular, she is focused on functional and integrative medicine, the intersection of our hormones and our brains, and how the choices that we make on a daily basis influence what's happening above our shoulders. In this episode, we're approaching this conversation from an entirely different angle than we ever have before. Dr. Romie breaks down the concept of a “busy brain,” how we can begin to address it, what a “sensory reset” is and how it can lead us down the path of “turning off” our brains, and everything we need to know about the patterns of inflammation in the brain and how they show up.

Welcome back to The Limitless Life Experience Podcast, where this time around I'm interviewing the incredible Dr. Romie Mushtaq. She is a triple board-certified physician and serves as Chief Wellness Officer for Evolution Hospitality where she has implemented mindfulness and wellness programs for over 7000 employees. Dr. Romie is on a mission to transform the brain and mental health in the workplace. Her expertise is routinely featured in the national media, and on global stages for corporations, athletes, and professional associations. In this episode, she takes us on her journey from being brought up in America in an Indian immigrant family, to entering neurology as a woman of colour at a time when only 5% of brain doctors were women. Disruption has always been a theme for her life, it seems, and she explains how she has used signs to go against the grain and follow that deep inner knowing that she was destined for greatness. She is bringing her innovative research based in neuroscience, integrative medicine, and mindfulness to teach the "brainSHIFT protocol". So, with that in mind, we also chat anxiety, the effects of the pandemic, and how she believes we can bring different kinds of healers together. Get ready to break your stress cycle, uplevel your performance and leadership, AND get an education on all things scientific and spiritual!

On the other side, it was, you know, be a good girl… and shit, that wasn't going to be happening. Good girls don't make change in the world.”“Normal, emotional brain and mental health is that you experience a full range of emotions during the day. What spirituality and training our mindset and meditation and mindfulness based cognitive therapy and regular therapy helps us with is to keep those emotions under check. So we're not extremely anxious or angry or extremely blissed out all day.”“It's the spiritual people against the traditional medical community. There are people in both groups who are going to remain divided, like dirty politics in the United States, right? But what if you and I could say, let's elevate the consciousness, and welcome the place where everybody has a seat at the table?” Links of interestFind Dr. Romie onlineFind Dr. Romie on InstagramFind me on Instagram Find me on Facebook Share and review the podcastMy goal is 100 reviews in just 6 months.
