It’s 11 PM. You're exhausted, but your brain is spinning.
You spend the day getting through to-dos, but feel foggy and flat.
You rest, but don’t feel rested.
If this sounds like you — you’re not lazy. You’re likely burned out and running on stress mode.
Burnout Isn’t Just Mental — It’s Physical
Most people think of burnout as emotional exhaustion.
But behind the scenes, your nervous system, hormones, and mineral stores are getting drained too.
Here’s what actually happens:
-
Your body is stuck in sympathetic mode (fight or flight)
-
Cortisol stays elevated, especially at night
-
Magnesium gets depleted (which you need to relax)
-
Your digestion, mood, and sleep all start crashing
Signs You’re in a Burnout Loop
-
You feel wired but tired at night
-
You crave sugar or caffeine constantly
-
You’re easily overwhelmed by simple decisions
-
You feel disconnected from your body or creativity
-
Rest doesn’t feel restorative
How to Reset Your Body (Without a 10-Day Retreat)
1. Nourish your nervous system daily
Simple things like deep breathing, cold water splashes, or humming stimulate your vagus nerve — which helps your body switch into rest-and-digest mode.
2. Add magnesium back in
Magnesium plays a huge role in calming your brain, easing anxiety, and balancing your nervous system.
Try magnesium-rich foods or a daily magnesium gummy that’s easy on your gut.
3. Lower screen time post-sunset
It’s not just about blue light — doomscrolling keeps your brain on high alert. Try swapping the phone for an old-school book 30 mins before bed.
4. Eat in a calm state
Digestion only works when you’re not in fight-or-flight. Sit. Breathe. Then chew.
