Dr. Tabatha Barber explains how a busy brain triggers neuroinflammation and burnout. A test score above 30 signals inflammation, above 40 brings cognitive problems, and above 60 means physical symptoms and near-burnout. In her research, only 7% scored low enough to avoid these effects.

Does everybody have a busy brain? What we, what we see is the test scores. And so if you have above a 30, you have neuroinflammation and a busy brain. Above 40, we know you're starting to have cognitive symptoms. Above 60, you probably have physical symptoms and you're heading towards burnout. Okay. We saw in our research data about 7% of people scored under a 30. So they were doing fine. It didn't mean they don't have stress in their lives. It means they don't have neuroinflammation. They don't have a busy brain. Whatever mechanisms they're doing for their mind, body and spirit are working. As I go out into corporate America, we give this busy brain test as a part of my keynote lectures. We're finding the number is up to maybe 8% or so. So. And by the way, Dr. Tabitha, this goes along with what the World Health Organization and American Psychological association is finding out that 70 to 80% of people in the workplace are burned out. So my data goes along with everything else everyone else is finding.
