What if your body isn’t the problem—what if it’s the story you’ve been taught to believe about energy, success, and burnout?

In this episode, Dr. Kirstin peels back the truth behind why so many high-achieving women feel like they're running on fumes—even when they’re doing “everything right.”

Whether you're crushing your workouts, following the health protocols, or hustling in business or motherhood, but still feeling off—this episode is your permission slip to stop pushing and start listening to what your body is really trying to tell you.

From hidden energy leaks to nervous system dysregulation and subconscious stories running the show—this is the missing conversation about why you're not operating at 100%… yet.

🔍 Tune in to hear:

• Why high performers often mistake burnout for lack of motivation or discipline

• What your symptoms are really trying to tell you (it’s not what you think)

• How nervous system dysregulation drains your energy—without you even knowing it

• The surprising link between childhood beliefs and chronic stress

• Why doing more isn’t the answer (and what to focus on instead)

• The myth of “balance” and what real recovery looks like

• How to clear mental “tabs” and reclaim your bandwidth

• When supplements and lab tests help—and when they’re just distractions

• Why you can’t heal if your body doesn’t feel safe

✨ If you’ve ever said: “I know I’m capable of more, but I can’t seem to get there”—this is the episode that will finally make it make sense.

If you’ve ever said “I’m doing the work—but I still feel stuck,” this episode is for you.

In this episode, I walk you through why 95% of your patterns aren’t changing—even when you know better. We’re not just talking mindset. We’re talking subconscious wiring, nervous system protection, and identity-level beliefs that were built for survival—not healing.

You’ll hear how your subconscious actually blocks the healing you say you want… and what to do instead.

You’ll learn:

Why rest doesn’t “work” when your body’s still bracing for danger

What it actually means to heal the subconscious patterns running your life

How to stop blaming yourself—and start working with your system, not against it

The truth about safety, identity, and why “doing more” isn’t the solution

Inside this episode, I also share:

A powerful reframe around why your body keeps repeating burnout—even when you’ve changed the diet, the schedule, and the to-do list.

This is about emotional safety. Nervous system capacity. And letting go of the part of you that only knows how to survive.

You’ve done the protocols. The supplements. The mindset work. So why aren’t you healing?

In this episode, Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen, a Functional Medicine practitioner and Master Certified Neurolinguistic Programming Coach unpacks 5 powerful (and possibly uncomfortable) truths about chronic symptoms and burnout—truths that most high-achieving women never hear.

If you feel like you're doing everything “right” and still flaring, exhausted, or disconnected from your body, this episode will help you shift your healing journey from surface-level effort into deep, sustainable change.

Whether you're navigating autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, anxiety, or hormonal imbalances—this conversation will help you listen to your body in a new way and reclaim your inner safety so healing can finally land.Links from this episode:Get my FREE neuroscience-backed, 5-minute guided meditation to calm your nervous system and reset your emotional state—no journaling needed, just sit back and listen.

If you’ve done the gut protocols, labs, and diets—but still feel awful—this is for you.

In this episode, I reflect on a powerful post by Peta Kelly and dive deep into a conversation I’ve had with many clients (and myself): When did wellness become fear-based? And why do we feel like we have to control everything just to feel “somewhat okay”?

I share my own journey—from eliminating toxins, gut protocols, and strict routines… to realizing that healing didn’t fully land until I addressed the deeper layers: identity, emotions, trauma, subconscious beliefs, and nervous system safety.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right—the labs, the diets, the supplements—but still feel off, this episode will help you zoom out and breathe again. Your body doesn’t need perfection. It needs safety.

Whether you're navigating hormone imbalances, endometriosis, migraines, leaky gut, or even autoimmune disease, this episode will help you reconnect with the part of healing that most protocols miss.

We cover:

• How the health journey often begins in restriction—and why that’s okay

• What creates true burnout in healing (hint: it’s not just overdoing it)

• Why regulating your internal world creates more capacity in your external one

• The role of subconscious beliefs and childhood patterns in chronic symptoms

• How endometriosis and hormone issues taught me about trust, not just nutrition

• The energetic side of healing (chakras, emotions, and how symptoms store in the body)

• Why sometimes rest doesn’t feel safe—and how to create your own internal retreat

🎧 Share this with a friend who’s tired of doing it all and still not feeling better

These are the emotional, biological, and nervous system tools no one teaches—but they’re the foundation for healing burnout, chronic stress, and even autoimmune symptoms.

What if your symptoms aren’t the problem—but the body’s way of showing you what’s unresolved?

In this episode, Dr. Kirstin walks you through The Embodied Healing Path, her 7-step method to help high-achieving women finally understand what chronic burnout, fatigue, autoimmune issues, and anxiety are really trying to say.

You’ll learn why mindset work alone isn’t enough, why suppressed emotions like anger and guilt don’t just “go away,” and how reclaiming your voice and needs can lead to profound emotional and physical healing. Inspired by the emotional foundations of Gabor Maté’s work—but spoken through a lens that matches what modern, sensitive, high-performing women are living today—this episode is for the woman who’s done everything right… and still doesn’t feel better.

It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what actually heals.

🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why burnout and chronic illness are often identity-level survival patterns

• What “permission to feel” really means—and why it’s a biological necessity, not a mindset trick

• How anger, boundaries, and desire are all essential ingredients in your healing

• Why autoimmune symptoms and emotional suppression are intimately linked

• The 7 steps of The Embodied Healing Path—a framework that shows you where your healing is asking to begin

• • How to shift from bypassing into embodied, sustainable capacity
  • The one thing you may be avoiding that’s keeping you in burnout (hint: it’s not rest)

• 
  

  💬 Quotes from the episode:

“Your body doesn’t need you to be positive. It needs you to be honest.”

“Anger isn’t a problem—it’s a boundary. And when we suppress it, we suppress our power.”

“You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a safe place inside yourself.”

What if your biggest challenge right now… is actually here to help you transform?

In this episode, I’m diving deep into something I’ve personally been moving through—and maybe you are too. It’s the tension between holding on and letting go. The looping thoughts, the shame spirals, the quiet ways we keep punishing ourselves for past mistakes.

And the shift that’s asking to happen now: What if this is happening for you, not to you?

From the collective chaos to the personal unraveling, I’m sharing the powerful questions, emotional truths, and journal prompts that are helping me recalibrate—without bypassing the hard stuff. This episode is tender, raw, and real… and it’s also an invitation to release the guilt, reclaim your energy, and meet yourself where you are.

If you've been wondering:

• “Why is this happening again?”

• “What am I still holding on to?”

• “Where am I trying to prove I’m okay, instead of actually being okay?”

…this conversation is for you.

Tune in to hear:

• How to break the cycle of self-punishment and start seeing mistakes as milestones

• Why “recalibration” is more healing than “pushing through”

• The #1 question that helped me release guilt and shift into compassion

• How to recognize mental/emotional loops that are draining your energy

• Why stillness and silence are often where the most profound insight lives

In this episode of The Dr. Kirstin Show, I’m sharing a deeply personal experience that uncovered the hidden voice behind my own burnout and how shifting that voice changed everything.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things: the supplements, the protocols, the self-care, but you’re still exhausted, anxious, or stuck in chronic symptoms, this episode will shift your perspective and perhaps shine light on a pattern you didn't even know what driving your choices, decisions and why you're still burned out and don't have what you want:

Tune in to discover:

• How a subtle tone of desperation keeps you trapped in burnout (and how to shift it)

• The childhood patterns behind over-giving, proving, and pushing through

• Why your body’s symptoms aren’t failures—they’re messages

• The surprising connection between your subconscious beliefs and chronic health issues

• How to stop “hustling for your worth” and reclaim confidence and peace

If you’re ready to move beyond survival mode, stop proving yourself, and finally feel good again—in your body, your health, and your life—this episode is for you.

Have you ever found yourself doing all the “right” things — the supplements, the routines, the protocols — and still feeling depleted, disconnected, or like your body is shutting down anyway?

You'll find this episode is a bit different from our normal. It’s not a checklist. It’s not a how-to. It’s a transmission from the in-between — between grief and growth, between letting go and rising up.

Dr. Kirstin shares a deeply personal reflection on the passing of her 103-year-old grandfather, her body’s recent whispers (think: coffee suddenly feeling “aggressive” and sunlight becoming medicine), and the profound realization that healing doesn’t come from doing more… it comes from choosing truth over force.

If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s exhausted from trying to “figure it all out,” this conversation is going to feel like an exhale.

Tune in to hear:

How forcing success and healing can actually delay both

The identity loop that keeps overachievers stuck in burnout

Why your nervous system might be resisting “the fix”

What your body is really saying when it craves sugar, stillness, or sunlight

The power of honoring completion before rushing into the next thing

The surprising moment when everything finally started to heal — without forcing a thing

Have you ever done all the healing—therapy, journaling, self-care—and still felt like no one truly sees you? Like you’re holding everyone else together… but no one’s holding you?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal (and very common) pattern that so many high-achieving moms fall into without even realizing it. It’s the hidden loop of over-functioning, people-pleasing, and emotional self-abandonment that creates chronic stress, burnout, and even physical illness—even when you’re doing the mindset work and trying to “take care of yourself.”

We talk about the exact belief that was driving my own burnout, how I realized I was rejecting help while crying out for support, and what it really takes to rewire the nervous system so you can stop operating from survival and start living from a place of receiving.

If you’ve ever felt like your body is shutting down, like no one shows up for you the way you show up for them, or like your worth is tied to how much you do… this episode will hit home.

Tune in to hear:

• The subconscious belief that keeps high-achieving moms stuck in burnout

• How nervous system dysregulation can show up as doing more, not resting

• Why self-care routines don’t always work—and what’s missing beneath them

• What “being strong” really costs when it’s rooted in emotional avoidance

• How to shift from self-sacrifice to self-trust (without burning it all down)

• A 6-minute practice to start feeling supported—without needing anyone else to change
