© 2026 Outsmart Burnout: Midlife Wellness for Women with Dr. Zarya Rubin
Description
Welcome to Outsmart Burnout, the ultimate podcast for smart, driven women in midlife who are ready to reclaim their passion, purpose, and joy. Hosted by Dr. Zarya Rubin—a Harvard-educated functional medicine physician, burnout coach, TEDx speaker and mom.
This show is inspired by my personal journey of struggling with and overcoming burnout; I know firsthand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re exhausted, stressed out and trying to do it all; I’m here to share the insights, tools, and strategies that will help you reclaim your calm and discover what makes you truly thrive.
Whether you're a mom, an entrepreneur, struggling with perimenopause and the weight of the world; if you're burned out, overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck in survival mode, you're not alone—and you're not broken.
Each week, I invite expert guests to join the conversation, as we dive into evidence-based strategies to regulate your nervous system, heal your hormones, and reignite your spark so you can feel vibrant, focused, and more like your true self again.
Remember, burnout is not your destiny, it's your wake-up call.
