Do you know the most important function of your body, and why it’s incredibly important to your success?    Are you struggling with stress? Burnout?   What if your negative stress at work is actually caused by something completely different, and has nothing to do with your work at all?   In this episode, meet the Health Detective and World’s Best Self-Care Coach, Susan Birch.  She holds a Masters Degree in Health Sciences, and Postgraduate Diplomas in Sports Medicine, Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, COP Musculoskeletal Medicine, and COP Community Nutrition from Otago University.   Susan has spent a lifetime challenging the mainstream dogma about exercise and nutrition. She understands the challenges people face in finding accurate, science-based nutrition and health information.    But beyond her 40 years of experience changing lives through changing the body, the real reason you will be changed by this conversation is her courage.   Susan contracted meningococcal meningitis when she was two years old, which left her with seemingly insurmountable odds against academic success. She overcame those odds, and is one of the brightest minds in her field.   So press play and let’s chat… your body, and your life, depends on it!   Then join The Happy Engineer community online and share your next action step in our free group:   https://www.facebook.com/groups/thehappyengineer    ==========================   For show notes and links from this episode, or to submit a question for host Zach White to answer in a future Q&A, go to:   www.thehappyengineerpodcast.com   ==========================   Ready for promotion, more money, and more FUN in your career?
