Loving Your Job but Feeling Burned Out? Let’s Talk About Why

The Gajer Practice Blogs

February 4, 2026

Dear reader,

I’m excited to share a recent conversation that delves into the heart of why I practice medicine the way I do. I was a guest on the “Breakfast Leadership” podcast with Michael Levitt, where we discussed my journey from emergency medicine to performance health optimization.

The discussion covers topics I know many of you are passionate about:

  • The real, often silent, causes of burnout, even when you love what you do.
  • Why our approach to health must shift as we age, focusing on optimization rather than just treating disease.
  • The critical role of metabolic health, food as fuel, and gut health in achieving stable energy, sharp focus, and long-term resilience.
  • Practical, sustainable strategies for busy people to invest in their health now for a vibrant future.

This conversation is a great encapsulation of the philosophy behind our practice: that feeling your best is the foundation for doing your best, in every aspect of life.

The Science of Aging: What We Know and What We Can Do About It

Nobody thinks about their muscle until it's gone. That's the honest truth. Most of my patients come to me focused on fat — how to lose it, where it's coming from, why it won't budge. And fat matters, absolutely. But underneath that conversation is one I think is even more important, especially as we age.
