stressors

10 signs you are in burnout

You walk into a doctors office with a list a mile long of symptoms, exhausted, and not feeling like yourself for what seems like forever. You are thinking thyroid, adrenals? Worse, cancer?

They tell you your blood labs look great it’s all in your head you are just stressed.

They then proceed with the “have you tried?”

Meditation?
Journaling?
X pill or x supplement?
Yoga?

Have you tried, go F yourself? 😂 As if you are not already stressed enough.

I mean they are not wrong. You are stressed. You are burnt out.

You are also not wrong. There is something deeper going on, you sensed it and your thyroid and adrenals are likely at play. They are always talking to each other. Your body is ALWAYS talking but unfortunately, you didn’t listen to those initial whispers.

There is a lot more than meditation that will get you out of burnout. One of the biggest and often overlooked is nourishment through the food you consume. You need to have the energy to deal with stressors, change your view and have mental clarity around them and become more resilient because lets be real stress will be unavoidable.

Stress registers in the body as a demand for energy and if not given the energy through proper fuel that it needs our adrenals burn out, our thyroid becomes compromised, our digestion sucks, our hormones become wack, we struggle with blood sugar issues and the cascade of symptoms continue.

Have you tried?

Nourishing yourself with a traditional pro-metabolic diet?

Focusing on minerals?

Saying no to people and not putting yourself in bad situations?

Making a career change or move?

Living in alignment with your female physiology?

Addressing what got u here in the first place?

Start here. If you don’t you will just continue repeating the cycle and ending up disappointed when nothing works.

Are you sick of doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results?

Are you managing stress well or do you need to start making big changes for your health?

Your body is always trying to adapt to stressors to keep you alive until it can’t.

Maybe one day people will stop having to ask you “have you tried?”

Diet Mindset v. Nourished Mindset

What’s the fastest way to burnout? OBSESSING about food, your health and your body.

I had a conversation with a friend over the weekend and we were discussing how the biggest downfall to everyones health starts with a stressor. We asked each other when shit hit the fan and we both had the same realization.

It started when we became obsessed with our bodies, the food we ate and put constant pressure on ourselves to look a certain way. This is a theme that pops up with almost every single one of my clients.

Girls going on atkins, low carb or becoming vegan at the age of 9! Please, if your daughter is doing this, it’s a HUGE red flag.

One day you are just sitting by the pool, eating a hot dog and freeze pop happy as a fucking clam and the next you are analyzing every imperfection in your body and trying to find every way to “fix” it.

The healthiest people are the ones that have never dieted or had poor thoughts and feelings around their body and the food they eat.

Dieting and negative thoughts around food and your body are on the TOP of the stress scale.

Why? Because every single day you are bombarded with fake social media bodies and people judging you or telling you you should look, how to eat and what not to eat for “health.”

You are constantly thinking about food and your body from the time you wake up until you go to bed.

My life’s mission and why I created this page and my business is to help you understand your body better and see through the bullshit you are being fed.

If you were to die tomorrow what would you see? Certainly not all the times you obsessed about the way your body looks or the food you ate or all the fun you missed out on due to it.

I see my husbands smile, all the amazing adventures I have been on, my cat laying in the sunshine, all the incredible memories I have made and the thousands of women I have helped. Not that time I starved myself for the sake of loosing 20 pounds.

It’s one thing to want to want to live a healthy confident life, it’s a whole different story to be destroying your body and giving up joy for external validation.

What age were you when you first started having negative thoughts about your body and food?

Things you don’t have to do to balance your hormones vs. Things you should do to balance your hormones

If I had a dollar for every woman that has told me these silly stories I would be one rich bitch.

“I was told to eliminate dairy and sugar for my PCOS because they are inflammatory”

“I was told to go low carb because I have insulin resistance”

“I was told to seed cycle to balance my hormones”

“I was told to take – insert supplement- to help with estrogen dominance, PMS and progesterone production”

“I was told I need to start eating more cruciferous vegetables to help with detox”

“I was told to eliminate animal foods and saturated fat because they are loaded with hormones and mucus”

“I was told to take fish oil because it will help with my acne and is anti-inflammatory”

What should you be asking?

“OKAY, BUT WHY?”

Crickets….

Or 9x out of 10 they will throw some bogus study at you to validate their claims that was done on rats, mice, men, or a very tiny group of participants and think it’s now the holy grail of advice without doing their own research and having client experience (the most important learning of all).

If someone gives you these blanket statements without being able to explain why or they fail to recognize the basic physiology and biology of women then RUN.

If they fail to mention:

The impact of cruciferous vegetables on your thyroid.

The long term consequences of eliminating carbs/ sugar and what happens to your body when you do. Hello stress hormones!

How nuts/seeds and fish oils are PUFAs, estrogenic and how they can contribute to toxin load and go rancid in the body.

The nutrients you miss out on by eliminate animal proteins and saturated fats.

How taking a hormone balancing supplement or birth control is not getting the root of your hormone balance.

Before you go following these recommendations and going down rabbit holes…

It’s all about the foundations baby!

+ Blood sugar
+ Minerals
+ Digestion
+ Liver, bile and detox
+ Stress
+ Sleep

It can be that simple.

Our body is a beautiful machine where everything is connected and intertwines.

Never look at hormones and symptoms in isolation or you will likely end up in a hole.
