From Burnout to Balance is a very unique book in that the first half is a thorough explanation of burnout and all its symptoms. Mood, hormonal fluctuations, stress, sleep, and immunity are all addressed. The second half is then comprised of nutritional information and healthful, nutritious recipes to aid in combating burnout. Recipes encompass all meals in addition to snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Spaghetti with chickpea basil meatballs, smashed white bean salad and radish toast, and turmeric hot cocoa are example of the types of recipes that can be found within. I think this book is a great starting guide to aid anyone interested in using nutrition in an effort to improve mood, immunity, and health.

I received this book from Rodale Books, for review, as part of their ambassador reading program and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
"I'm fine, honest!" But are we, truly? For a woman struggling with mood, sleep, focus and wanting to boost immunity, this book was written. Insightful, informative and helpful, with sections based on each difficulty faced, it includes recipes for health benefits and strategies to assist through the tough times you feel burned out.
Note: rereading this book as I evaluate my home library and what stays or is donated.

Half health advice and half recipes, this book, oriented primarily to women, is nicely presented and promotes several sound nutritional and health ideas. The section I liked best was the smoothies section which had some delicious and nutritious recipes. Creative.

Lots of useful information. Didn't find many recipes to try. However, it did get me thinking about different food combinations to try.
