There’s a kind of stress most of us recognize.
 The loud kind. Racing thoughts. Tight shoulders. Poor sleep.

But there’s another kind that doesn’t feel loud at all.

It shows up as fatigue that doesn’t make sense.
 Weight that won’t move no matter how “perfect” you are.
 A metabolism that feels muted.

In this episode, we break down what actually happens to thyroid function under chronic stress, why reverse T3 often shows up in high-achieving women, and how the nervous system quietly decides whether your body burns energy or conserves it.

This is not an episode about doing more, pushing harder, or fixing yourself.

It’s about understanding how stress shifts physiology, why your body may be applying the brakes on purpose, and what actually helps restore forward movement.

If you’ve ever been told your labs are “normal” but your body feels anything but, this conversation will land.

Instead of asking, “What am I missing?”
Try asking, “What might my body be protecting me from right now?”

If this episode resonated, share it with someone who’s been frustrated by “normal labs” and unexplained fatigue.

And if you’re ready to work with your nervous system instead of against it, you can find more resources and ways to work together in the show notes.
