Episode 169: Episode 5-26 – Andi Clark – “First Responder Burnout”
About this episode
Andi Clark is known online as The Elite Trainer for Police and First Responders and creator of her signature program 911 Elite Performance. She’s the wife of a Police Officer and an expert in peak performance and how stress physically affects your body. She is renowned for her ability to reverse and prevent burnout in First Responders, then help them regain their athletic conditioning, so they can thrive throughout their entire career—online and offline—as well as her refreshingly relatable and no-BS approach.
Life wasn’t always as burnout free for Andi. She has a genetic stress condition that puts her body into an increased stress response state all the time. Similar to what Police Officers and First Responders experience when they put on their uniform and mentally prepare for whatever may happen in their day.
It took Andi over 20 years with two very big burnout crashes (one while pregnant) to figure out why her doctors, specialists and the prescriptions given to her were not able to help. And that what was happening to her was not a mental health issue.
Through her recovery she formulated a completely different way to look at and handle burnout.
Once she realized that her husband was thriving while his colleagues were struggling with the same symptoms, she had experience she knew that she couldn’t keep her findings to herself. They needed help. She could provide it. And 911 Lifestyle was born. Andi now speaks and coaches Officers and First Responders all over the world:
