Shownotes

Why do so many men feel exhausted, disconnected, or emotionally numb while being told to simply “push through”? On Mind Over Masculinity, host Shreya speaks with Dr. Jess Armine about the biological roots behind burnout, brain fog, emotional shutdown, and chronic stress.

This episode is for men silently carrying stress, fatigue, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm while believing they just need to “be stronger.” Dr. Jess explains how mitochondrial health, chronic inflammation, stress, and emotional suppression deeply affect the body and mind — and why struggling does not mean weakness.
