Ep. 25 - Why High-Performing Women Burn Out with Dr. Adeela Afiz: Nervous System Dysregulation, Hyper-Independence & Somatic Healing


Listen Later

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Adeela Afiz to explore what’s really underneath chronic health issues, especially for high-achieving women who are used to carrying it all. We go deep into nervous system dysregulation, somatic recalibration, the subconscious cues we ignore and the emotional patterns that quietly shape our health, our work and the way we move through the world.

We talk about why so many strong, capable women struggle to ask for help, how early childhood experiences influence our current behavior, and why your body often crashes right after a big milestone. Dr. Adeela breaks down muscle testing, subconscious rewiring, and the link between hyper-independence, burnout and chronic symptoms.

If you’ve been doing all the right things, the supplements, the protocols, the self-care routines, and still feel like something isn’t clicking, this episode will land deeply. It’s for every woman who wants to understand the emotional layers beneath her symptoms and finally feel safe, regulated and supported in her body.
