Episode 036: Decision Fatigue: How to Stop Overthinking and Save Your Energy
In this episode of The Lifestyle MD, Dr. Angela explores one of the silent saboteurs of our well-being: decision fatigue. She breaks down how the constant stream of choices we make each day — from what to wear to how to respond to emails — slowly drains our mental energy and leads to poor decisions, overwhelm, and burnout.
Drawing from both personal and clinical insights, Dr. Angela explains:
- Why perfectionism makes decision fatigue worse
- How our brains get overloaded by too many minor choices
- Why it’s smart to schedule your most important decisions early in the day
- The power of delegating, automating, and simplifying your life
She also offers practical strategies to reclaim your focus and energy, from minimizing daily decisions to taking intentional rest breaks. Plus, she emphasizes the importance of preventive health — including options for colon cancer screening — and how simplifying your health choices can lead to better outcomes.
✨ Whether you're a busy professional, a caregiver, or simply tired of feeling overwhelmed, this episode offers the tools you need to create more space, clarity, and control in your life.
