Healthcare Worker Burnout Treatment | Physician-Led Recovery


Mark Gonzales
Co Founder, Rejuvenate
What is healthcare worker burnout treatment?
Healthcare worker burnout treatment addresses the unique physical, emotional, and neurological damage caused by medical practice. Unlike generic stress management, it combines medical interventions (NAD+ for cellular recovery, ketamine for trauma processing) with supportive therapies for the moral injury, compassion fatigue, and existential crisis that plague 76% of healthcare workers. Created by physicians who've escaped burnout themselves, these protocols restore both your health and your purpose in medicine.
"I Saved Lives for 15 Years, Then Nearly Lost My Own"
After my 10,000th patient, I realized I felt nothing. Not compassion, not satisfaction, nothing. Just exhaustion so deep that coffee couldn't touch it and cynicism so thick that I hated what I'd become.
I was the doctor telling depressed patients to "take care of themselves" while working 70-hour weeks. Prescribing anxiety medications while having panic attacks in the supply closet. Treating addiction while dependent on Adderall to function.
The breaking point came when a young nurse asked me, "Why did you become a doctor?" I couldn't remember.
That's when I knew the system that taught me to heal was killing me.
I took a $12,000/month pay cut, left hospital medicine, and created Rejuvenate—the treatment center I desperately needed but couldn't find. Now I help other healthcare workers escape the same prison.

76% of Healthcare Workers Are Burning Out—Here's Why
The statistics are staggering and getting worse. 76% of healthcare workers report burnout. 400+ physician suicides occur annually, the highest of any profession. 54% of nurses are considering leaving healthcare entirely. 93% report healthcare is NOT what they expected when they entered. Average career length continues dropping yearly.
The perfect storm creating burnout involves multiple factors. Moral injury from being forced to provide substandard care due to systems. Metrics over medicine with RVUs, patient satisfaction scores, and documentation requirements. Liability fear where every decision could end your career. Emotional exhaustion from death, suffering, and futility daily. Physical depletion from night shifts, missed meals, and chronic stress. Financial trap where loans force you to keep working despite misery.
Yoga and Resilience Training Won't Fix Systemic Trauma
The insulting "solutions" hospitals offer include resilience training that blames the victim, meditation apps when you don't have time to eat, pizza parties as serious morale boosters, wellness committees creating more meetings, and employee assistance programs limited to 6 sessions maximum.
Why these fail is obvious to anyone in healthcare. You can't meditate away watching children die, being assaulted by patients, impossible patient loads, electronic medical record hell, administrative moral injury, or accumulated trauma of thousands of cases.
You need medical-grade intervention, not motivational posters.

From Burnout to Breakthrough
Sarah, ICU Nurse → Wellness Practice Owner
"20 years in ICU. PTSD from COVID. Drinking to sleep. Xanax to work. Rejuvenate saved my life. Now I run my own IV therapy practice helping other nurses."
Michael, Emergency Physician → Integrative Medicine
"Burned out at 35. Suicidal at 37. Traditional therapy didn't understand medical trauma. Ketamine and NAD+ brought me back. Transitioned to integrative medicine, actually healing people now."
Jennifer, Hospitalist → Part-Time + Life Balance
"Thought I had to choose: medicine or happiness. Rejuvenate helped me realize I could have both. Cut to part-time, started treatment, remembered why I became a doctor."

Frequently Asked Questions About Healthcare Worker Burnout
Will seeking treatment affect my medical license?
No. Seeking voluntary outpatient treatment for burnout is not reportable. We maintain strict confidentiality and HIPAA compliance. Many state boards now encourage treatment-seeking.
Can I continue working while in treatment?
Yes. We design protocols around your schedule. Many treatments can be done on days off. Some take medical leave for intensive treatment—we can provide documentation.
Do you understand why I can't just quit?
Absolutely. Between loans, family obligations, and identity tied to medicine, leaving feels impossible. We help you find sustainable ways to continue OR transition if that's your choice.
Is this covered by hospital employee insurance?
Some services may be covered. We provide detailed documentation for reimbursement. Our healthcare discount makes treatment accessible regardless of coverage.
What if I'm using substances to cope?
No judgment. Many healthcare workers self-medicate to survive. We address both the burnout causing use and help with safe discontinuation when you're ready, working collaboratively with your existing providers.
Can you help with wellness optimization beyond burnout recovery?
Yes. We work collaboratively with your existing healthcare team. For those interested in comprehensive wellness approaches, we can coordinate with specialists in hormone health, nutrition, and other areas to support your overall wellbeing.
You're Not Weak. You're Not Broken. You're Human.
The system that trained you to save lives is destroying yours. That's not your failure—it's the system's.
You went into medicine to heal. It's time to heal yourself.
From one healthcare worker to another: There's a way out that doesn't mean giving up your calling. You can love medicine again. You can find balance. You can remember why you started this journey.
