We all get burned out at some point or another, and this comes with the tell-tale signs of fatigue in the morning or after lunch, waking up at night to urinate or having interrupted sleep, feeling "wired but tired", having weaker muscles, lower sex drive, imbalances in other areas and just feeling run down. This is this is the impact of unmanaged stress, and it will kill you.
Most alternative health sources see this as "adrenal fatigue," but modern medicine doesn't recognize it as an official problem because it only looks for serious or genetic diseases like Addison's disease or Cushing's syndrome.
Although modern medicine does not recognize adrenal fatigue, the reality is that your body does develop cortisol resistance just like with many other hormones when you have chronic exposure to high levels. Eventually this leads to an inability to produce adequate levels of cortisol to cope with life’s demands and you become totally fried.
Both of these conditions, chronic high cortisol and total burnout, come with many negative health effects and you want to prevent yourself from ever getting there in the first place through good nutrition and mindset habits, along with targeted supplementation and regular testing. Life and its many slings and arrows are not something you can control, and stress (even in high amounts) is to a degree unavoidable. Even once you recover from burnout, understanding how to
minimize deviations so you don’t go off the deep end again is the key for long-term Success.
In this article we are going to summarize the main points related to your fight against stress and burnout. These areas are not in any particular order, but rather represent all of the dimensions that you need to keep your eye on to maintain your Alignment in
the face of stress.
