  • Resumen

  • The bar for human performance is higher than it’s ever been. As a result, we all feel the need to do MORE. At the same time, we are becoming increasingly aware of the value of sleep, rest, recovery, and wellness. Accordingly, we also feel the need to do LESS. If you’re like most people, it can be challenging to reconcile this conflict of feeling the need to do MORE and LESS simultaneously, and that is likely contributing to high rates of burnout and decreased performance. So how do we reconcile these seemingly competing desires? That is where Human Optimization comes in. Human Optimization is the process of achieving more (however you define that for yourself) while simultaneously improving your wellness and well-being. Although it’s not easy, it’s certainly possible. Not only is it possible, but it is becoming increasingly essential. In this Mayo Clinic Talks Mini-Series, we are going to dive into the topic of Human Optimization and will focus on a few key areas including: exercise, nutrition, culture, emotional intelligence, and finding joy in all you do.

  • Burnout Decoded: Strategies for Individuals and Organizations to Understand it, Prevent it, and Overcome It
    May 7 2025

    Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D., Creator & Guide | Mayo Clinic Human Optimization Project

    Guest: Colin West, M.D, Ph.D., Medical Director of Employee Well-Being | Mayo Clinic – Rochester, MN

    This week, we are focusing on a topic that many don’t like to discuss, but we all need to understand better. You may have experienced it firsthand, and it has major implications for all of us at home and in the workplace. The topic is Burnout. Even though we all hear about it regularly, there is still a lot of confusion about what it is, how to spot it, how to prevent it, and how to overcome it. To help us sort through these issues, we have one of the world’s foremost experts on burnout joining us this week, Dr. Colin West.

    Dr. West is the Director of the Program on Physician Well-Being at Mayo Clinic, and here are the three big questions we have for him on this session:

    1. What is burnout and how is it different from stress or general exhaustion?
    2. What are the personal and organizational consequences of burnout?
    3. What are the steps we can take to prevent it and recover from it?

  • Dealing with Failure: A Discussion About Processing, Understanding, and Growing From Setbacks
    Apr 30 2025

    Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D.

    Guest: Carlos Correa, Professional Baseball Shortstop, Minnesota Twins Baseball Club

    Failure is tough, and if we are honest with ourselves, we all experience some level of failure on a near daily basis. Some of these failings are small, while others are substantial and can have real impacts on our lives. Given how commonly failure occurs, we need to figure out how to deal with it in a health way. To give us a unique perspective on how we overcome our fear of failure, work through it an effective manner, and come out stronger on the other side, our guest for this episode is Major League Baseball Player, 3 time All-Star, Gold Glove Winner, and World Series Champion…Carlos Correa. Here are the three big questions we are going to tackle with Carlos: 1- What does “failure” really mean, and why is it such a universal experience? 2- Why do so many people struggle with failure, and what mental and emotional barriers keep us stuck? 3- What practical steps can the average person take to process failure positively and use it as fuel for growth?

  • Cognitive Overload: Overcoming the Modern Epidemic of Mental Exhaustion
    Apr 23 2025
    Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D. Guest: Justin Anderson, Psy. D., LP, CMPC Owner/Founder | CEO | High Performance Psychologist Premier Sport Psychology In our modern, hyper-connected world, our brain is subject to a non-stop barrage of noise, information, stimuli, and inputs. While much of it is necessary and meaningful, a large portion is just unnecessary distraction. With this heavy burden of constant stimuli, it’s easy for us to experience “cognitive overload” where our brain is overwhelmed by all the incoming signals. How do we sort through this noise to determine what is critical and really deserves our attention? Can we sharpen our minds so that we can continue to thrive in these times of information overload? Those are some of the issues we are going to tackle in this episode. Our guest for this session is Dr. Justin Anderson, Psy.D., LP., founder and CEO of Premier Sport Psychology. In this episode, he is going to help us answer the following three big questions: 1-What exactly is cognitive overload, and what causes it? 2-What are the consequences of cognitive overload for everyday people in their personal and professional lives? 3-What steps can we take right now to reduce cognitive overload and improve our mental performance?
