High achievers are burning out in silence

You know how to push through. You always have. But lately the signs are harder to ignore: the fatigue, the mind fog, the irritability, the joylessness. You’ve “made it” — but at what cost?

Whether you’re leading teams, building companies, or simply holding it all together... your nervous system wasn’t designed to perform without recovery.

Less proving. More presence.
You don’t need another strategy.
You need stress mastery — nervous system clarity that turns survival into sovereignty.

My burnout story 

As a doctor, I thrived in the high-stakes world of medicine. Recognised by Tatler as one of the UK’s Top GPs and later became Mayo Clinic London’s Stress Expert. But behind the accolades, I felt drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected.

It wasn’t medicine I had fallen out of love with — it was the relentless system I was in. Despite my passion and success, I burned out. I had to step away. But what next?

That’s when RQ Wellness™ was born. I discovered that burnout isn’t weakness — it’s physiology. It’s your nervous system under pressure, your biochemistry overloaded, and your intuition ignored. Healing required more than resilience. It required a new blueprint.

This became the RQ Method™ — blending neuroscience, longevity medicine, somatics, and intuition to help high performers transform stress into strength and burnout into vitality.

I trained at top institutions and refined this method for achievers like you — people who want to thrive, not just survive. I didn’t want to choose between success, health, or joy—and neither should you. I’m here to show you what’s possible when science meets soul.

Work with me

The demands seemed to multiply exponentially, the broken system I was trying to fix and work within left me overwhelmed and out of control. Despite this, the thought of walking away or considering change—even temporarily—filled me with terror.

You just can’t, it’s against the medical culture, no one leaves… What if I failed? What would I even do? My burnout is not enough to justify leaving. It’s just how it is. Besides, I hadn’t trained and worked for this long to simply give it all up - I was invested. The very idea of stepping off the treadmill of my pre-defined career gave me vertigo

One day, (when asked how much I was willing to sell my 30s for) the penny dropped. I am sacrificing my health, my time, my energy, and relationships. This decade of work has brought me professional satisfaction but cost me my health (I had most burnout symptoms just didn’t know it), my time (years I will never get back) and NO it wasn’t worth it. Deep down, the voice (that I will later know as intuition) kept saying that something had to change."But how? Where would I even start?" "What do you really need right now, what do you ACTUALLY WANT?"

I could no longer ignore the voice inside my head, the voice that whispered of a different path, a path of healing and renewal. Decisions that followed led to disappointing people, committing “career suicide”, going against the tide. It was all uncertain and unknown. I just knew that not following my heart would mean spending the rest of my life wishing I had.

So if you’re reading this, chances are you want more. Perhaps it’s deep transformation, burnout, navigating change or simply true wellness. Either way, do not ignore that voice. Let's have a conversation and see what’s possible…

I’ve made it my mission to provoke radical awareness as a form of deep transformation. I use neuroscience backed techniques to merge the sciences of intuition & logic to help you live a truly powerful, embodied life.

Book Dr Debar
Dr Debar, you have an uncanny ability to connect the dots. You read me like a book, always asking why and listening. I've never felt so understood.  Your sessions were transformative. I've experienced healing on levels I didn't know I needed. Infinitely grateful.

David T., Corporate Executive

Sarah B., Manager

Since the course, I'm more present and less phased by stuff. I always knew what I needed to do but could never actually stick to it. The way you brought it all to life, helped us connect the dots means I live differently. I'm more curious about why I do things & less judgmental. I even meditate & love it! 
I can’t begin to express the deep transformation that occurred in every aspect of my life
