Have you ever felt that unrelenting, bone-tired fatigue? Between healing from a parasitic infection, supporting my mom with her cancer diagnosis, and celebrating my daughter’s engagement, I have not felt this tired since 2017. Because I’ve experienced adrenal fatigue in the past, I want to share my framework and tips for getting back to a regulated, optimal state. 

First and foremost, we have to look at the thoughts and beliefs that we have about our fatigue. It’s normal to resist it, feel shame about it, or just plain hate it. In my experience, once you start to express gratitude for your body and its internal messaging system, it creates a welcoming environment for healing. 

In this episode, I highlight certain lifestyle and diet factors that tend to trigger adrenal fatigue, including poor sleep hygiene, nutrient deficiencies, and exercise patterns. I share simple steps that help address those factors and support your journey to feeling energized again. 

Listen in to learn more about adrenal fatigue and how to heal from it.

Success: The Fast Road to Burn Out

The story in this podcast is one I think most of you will relate to.    Chasing the “dream”, the big job, family, exercise.  And then realizing how burnout you feel once you get there.

Stephanie Graves shares her story of transformation from burnout back to health and balance. For 10 years, she was in the medical field as a physician's assistant (licensed PA). Stephanie enjoyed her job and the professionals that she worked with. However, after 10 years and knowing something wasn’t right with the care she was able to provide, she began a journey to improve her health and the health of others.

Stephanie, like many others, got burned out. The high patient turnover rate, raising children, running marathons, eating what she considered healthy, and lifestyle we’re catching up. Stephanie made the bold decision to heal herself. During this process, she learns that her exercise and diet were not supporting her health. Anxiety and digestion issues plagued her. Stephanie began to study functional nutrition and that was the turning point for her.   This was the genesis of TheFunctionalHealer.com

What is Functional Nutrition?

Functional nutrition and functional medicine or a holistic approach to health. By first getting the body clean and reducing systemic inflammation caused by many foods, the body will naturally reset to a healing state. Once the body is in that healing state, other factors can begin to be addressed. Lifestyle factors such as, stress, trauma, anxiety, weight gain, unhealthy habits, and emotional resiliency.

Combining both traditional and functional medicine in cooperation with clients' doctors, provides a thorough and holistic path back to good health.

During Covid, Stephanie made the radical change to leave her profession and start her business, the Functional Healer. She offers individual client consultations conveniently online for anyone in the US. She is currently developing programs to reach a wider audience. She is available for new clients as well.

Take a listen and see if her story resonates with you. It is a common story here in western culture. Stephanie can show you the path back to good health and abundant life.
