She went through an incredible period of burnout from her job which left her unable to control her bodily functions and hospitalised.  She shares her story with us today as well as how she turned that period of her life into a book which she now hopes other members of the medical community will learn from.  And also how her upbringing had an impact on how she dealt with her mental health.  Plus she also lets us in on her #1 must-have beauty product!  LINKS • Yvie Jones @yvie_jones (www.instagram.com/yvie_jones/?hl=en) • Dr Yumiko Kadota @mindbodymiko (www.instagram.com/mindbodymiko/?hl=en) • Nova Podcasts Instagram @novapodcastsofficial (bit.ly/novapodcasts_instagram) • Don't forget you can ask us a question anytime by emailing [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) CREDITS Host: Yvie Jones Guest: Dr Yumiko Kadota  Executive Producer: Rachael Hart Editor: Adrian Walton Supervising Producer: Ricardo Bardon Show Artwork By: @ellymalone (www.instagram.com/ellymalone/?hl=en) Find more great podcasts like this at novapodcasts.com.au (novapodcasts.com.au/) Nova Entertainment acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we recorded this podcast, Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.
