Burnout, Hormones & Why Men Wait Too Long with Guest Dr. Michael Corsilles

It's burnout, and it has a physiology.In this episode, Dr. Michelle Leary sits down with her longtime mentor and colleague Dr. Michael Corsilles— a dual-licensed physician with 25 years in primary care — to break down what's actually happening when high-achieving people hit the wall. They get into the mechanics of adrenal dysregulation, how chronic stress quietly drives weight gain, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, and stubborn infections, and why the conventional 7-minute visit keeps missing it.This is functional primary care the way it's meant to be practiced: root-cause, evidence-based, and built on a real relationship with your physician.What you'll learn:🔸How functional medicine and naturopathic medicine actually differ — and where they overlap🔸Why cortisol behaves like long-term prednisone under chronic stress🔸The testing that uncovers what a standard annual physical misses🔸How adrenal dysfunction cascades into testosterone, thyroid, blood sugar & sleep🔸When IV vitamin C and glutathione are clinically warranted (and when they're not)🔸The link between chronic infections like Epstein-Barr, long COVID & ongoing fatigue🔸Why men resist preventative care — and what actually moves them🔸Practical first steps: physicals, wearables, HRV, and building your "why"About Vida Integrated HealthVida is a physician-led, fully integrated healthcare practice in the greater Seattle area.
