With our ambassador, Dr Adrian Lopresti, Julia delves into her research and the use of micronutrients to support survivors of natural disasters and acute trauma experiences.

This Four Perspectives podcast episode with Professor Lesley Braun and the fx Medicine Ambassadors provides healthcare practitioners with a concise overview of the landscape of burnout - beyond the workplace and its management with key nutrients, herbs and psychosocial strategies.
They begin by clarifying our understanding of what burnout is and the important distinction between anxiety and stress. They highlight the normalisation of stress in society and the need to understand burnout. There is discussion around the pros and cons of diagnostic criteria of burnout, covering two diagnostic surveys along with the use of salivary cortisol testing..
An important perspective shift is introduced on the concept of ‘adrenal fatigue’, and the need to reconsider this concept and move towards HPA dysfunction and cortisol dysregulation. This reframing better supports the practitioner's approach to managing burnout andemphasises the significance of rest and recovery, with a unique perspective on tissue healing and the time needed for nerve tissue recovery.
Key herbal and nutritional therapeutics are discussed with the ambassadors providing an overview of nutritional interventions, focusing on magnesium, deficiency states, specialized pro-resolving mediators, B vitamins, and CoQ10. The value of herbal remedies are also explored with a focus on effective utilisation of key herbs including withania, holy basil, kava, and saffron.
