723. Burnout, Brain Fog, No Libido? It's Not Just Stress...


Listen Later

Let's talk about burnout — the kind that makes you feel mentally fried, physically drained, and like even getting through your to-do list is a monumental task.

Here's the thing nobody tells you: burnout isn't just "being stressed out."

It's a physiological hormonal crisis happening in your body.

By the time most women hit burnout, it's not just about being tired. It's about your adrenals, cortisol, dopamine, testosterone, and progesterone all taking a nosedive — and your body sending up all the flares.

👉 Ever felt like you're dragging yourself through the day? 👉 No motivation, no focus, maybe even brain fog? 👉 Working out but not seeing results? Libido MIA? 👉 Mood swings and crazy cycles out of nowhere?

That's not in your head. That's your hormones in distress.

What's actually happening?

When your system hits burnout:

  • Cortisol tanks (the stress hormone that's meant to help you handle pressure)
  • Dopamine plummets (so no, you're not lazy — you're literally missing the brain chemical that gives you motivation)
  • Testosterone drops (which slows muscle repair, messes with metabolism, and crushes libido) Progesterone falls off (leading to cycle problems, PMS, mood swings)

And on top of that? You're likely nutrient depleted too. (B vitamins, minerals, everything your body uses to run the show.)

The problem is — most women just try to "push through." More workouts. Less food. Another cup of coffee. Maybe a spa day for "self-care."

But a bubble bath won't fix a hormone crash.

This is exactly why I created the 6-Month Female Hormone Solution.

We run actual hormone testing (the DUTCH test, far more comprehensive than a blood draw) to see what's happening inside your body. Then we create a customized plan — for you — based on your unique results.

We work on:

✅ Adrenal and cortisol support ✅ Rebalancing your dopamine and motivation ✅ Boosting testosterone naturally ✅ Supporting progesterone production ✅ Nutrient repletion (especially B vitamins and minerals) ✅ Gut health repair (because yep — burnout impacts digestion too)

This isn't a quick-fix bandaid. Healing takes time. But when you work with your body instead of against it, the results last.

And you won't have to guess at what you should be doing.
