High performers are often very good at pushing through fatigue. The harder question is whether the body is actually recovering from everything being asked of it.
Dr. Erika Schultz, DACM, ACN, is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, functional nutrition expert, and founder of The Resiliency Method. In this conversation with Dr. Clint Carter, she explains why diet, exercise, discipline, and productivity may still leave important pieces of recovery unaddressed. They discuss the highly activated nervous system common among driven people, why the ability to shift into a restorative state matters, and how her approach uses a sequence rather than isolated protocols to decide what to address first.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why the traits that help high performers stay productive can also make it difficult to recognize when their capacity for recovery is falling behind
How nervous system regulation, mitochondrial function, sleep, and recovery fit into a broader picture of fatigue and burnout beyond diet and exercise alone
Why Dr. Schultz believes people who have plateaued after supplements, cleanses, or other functional approaches may benefit from addressing health patterns in a more deliberate sequence
This episode is for… high performers, professionals, caregivers, and other driven people who are doing a lot for their health but still feel tired, burned out, hormonally off, or unable to recover as well as they once did.
