Is your body stuck in danger mode? I hear from so many women who feel overwhelmingly exhausted, often attributing this fatigue to all the stressors and responsibilities in their everyday life. But is it really just the hustle and bustle bringing you down, or is your body trying to tell you something more?

This isn't just about running on empty; it's about how our bodies respond to stress and what happens when our mitochondria, those tiny energy-generating superheroes in our cells, go into hibernation.

Today we're exploring the signs that you're stuck in this mode and why it feels like you've been hit by a bus no matter how much rest you get, how much you exercise or how well you eat. We discuss mitochondrial dysfunction and the cell danger response, where your cells essentially hit the "pause" button to protect you. The symptoms can be really similar to chronic fatigue or menopause, but they actually overlap because they stem from the same response—your body has one major way to communicate that it's overwhelmed, and we've got to listen to those signals.

The good news is you can hit the reset button on your body with some manageable changes. We cover reducing stress through calming practices, incorporating routines that respect your natural body rhythms, choosing whole nutrient-rich foods that support healing at the cellular level and finding joy in movement. We also explore how adapting to natural rhythms like consistent sun exposure and good sleep patterns helps your body feel safe again, allowing you to shift from survival mode to thriving mode.
