#003 Alive, But Dying: How Burnout Becomes the Baseline and How to Reverse It

Nuno Machado Lopes Season 1 Episode 3

In this deeply reflective episode of The Health Manifesto, we explore what it really means to feel alive in a culture that rewards exhaustion. 

If you’ve ever felt numb, joyless, or constantly on edge despite doing everything “right,” this conversation is for you. 

We unpack the biology of burnout, the emotional cost of constant performance, and how to come back to your body through rest, rhythm, and reconnection. 

You’ll discover why real healing isn’t about doing more—but about remembering what you’ve been taught to override. This is a slow exhale, not a productivity plan.
