Running on Empty: Iron, Nutrient Depletion & the Physiology of Caregiver Burnout
$5.00
Watch a replay of our August 2026 Caregiver’s Club meeting.
This month’s Caregiver’s Club was about what happens when caregivers are running on empty, physically and emotionally. We explored how iron deficiency and nutrient depletion can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and restless legs, even without anemia. Dr. Burkman also shared the top three supplements she never misses as a caregiver herself and why they are foundational during times of chronic stress. We covered practical strategies for optimizing iron and nutrition, then shift from depletion to empowerment with resources including Connecticut’s Community First Choice (CFC), PCA hours, Medicaid Waiver programs, and ways to maximize available caregiver support.
Free for primary care members (use code PCP4ME at checkout). For non-primary care members the $5 fee will be donated to Cure CMD.
