Stop blaming yourself for being "lazy." If you physically cannot get off the couch, no amount of willpower or New Year's Resolutions will fix it—because the problem isn't in your mind. It’s in your biology.

In this video, Dr. Scott Hastings explains the difference between "burnout" and actual clinical depression. We break down the invisible physical markers—from inflammation to serotonin depletion—that hijack your motivation and leave you feeling exhausted. If you have been white-knuckling your way through the holidays and feel like you’ve hit a wall, this medical breakdown is the permission slip you need to stop pushing and start healing.
