    • Alternative Health

In this episode, British Army veteran John Allison, founder of the Left of Burnout podcast outlines the rationale behind the show, talks about some of the issues in his life that inspired him to produce it and do the work that he does today at Motion to Mind™. 
The Left of Burnout podcast is produced by John Allison, a British Army veteran with 24 years of service.  Upon retirement he became health and wellbeing manager for two large London-based advertising agencies.  Five years later, in 2017, he started holistic wellbeing service Motion to Mind™ and developed the 4M Framework™ for health and happiness.  More recently he launched a groundbreaking modular program, Stress Injury Prevention Training™ (SIPT™) to provide employers with a new program to support employees in work and in life. 
Left of Burnout is a phrase coined by John Allison and is a take on the term Left of Boom or Left of Bang which was used to describe a preventative approach to the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) threat in Iraq when John served as Intelligence Officer - Combined Explosives Exploitation Cell (CEXC) Baghdad.  Stress related ill-health can be visualised as being on a continuum, from being well on the far left, to being mildly irritated, to dealing with anxiety, depression, traumatic stress injury, burnout and psychosis at the right hand end of the continuum.  Helping people to empower themselves to keep far, far left of burnout and stay well, is the aim of the show.
