Have you come to a dead-end and feel you are at the brink of burnout? How often do you find yourself feeling as if your efforts just aren’t getting you anywhere? Do your typical, everyday tasks seem too daunting to face while dragging yourself out of bed has become a miracle? Your body may be in a critical state of burnout. Recognizing the signs of burnout is essential to your health and wellbeing. The good news is, there are ways to battle burnout and work towards restoring the balance in your life.

How often does the thought of socializing seem like a dreaded chore?
Do life's simple pleasures now cause you high anxiety or moodiness?
Are you battling uncomfortable gut health issues daily?

If you said yes to the above questions, it may be time for a different course of action. It’s time to stop blaming last night’s lack of sleep or too many responsibilities for your current state. It may be time to take a hard look at just how long you’ve been stuck in this rut and begin to take note of all the areas in your life that are feeling the effects; physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Taking back the control will allow you to learn more about yourself, your triggers, and how you can find your path to you again. So, how can you recognize the warning signs and symptoms of chronic stress? And where do you start to regain your emotional and physical freedoms once again? Let’s talk about beginning your journey back to health. If the constant stress in your life has you feeling helpless, disillusioned, and utterly exhausted, it’s time to veer off this destructive road to burnout.

The Many Faces of Burnout

It can be challenging to recognize and even harder to bounce back from, but burnout doesn’t have to keep you from enjoying life. Today’s world of hectic schedules and long, demanding hours at work, home, and play can lead to chronic stress. Your regular tasks become too overwhelming to face; your stress levels begin to rise to the point of physical and emotional turmoil. The typical responsibilities of your daily routine can start to take their toll on your health. Work demands seem unrealistic and unattainable, while social engagements seem easier to avoid than to face. Your responsibilities at home and school begin to take on a whole new meaning and bring on anxiety and frustrations at the very thought of your long to-do lists. Burnout sets up camp in every aspect of your life and often creeps up on you in a time of chronic stress.

Excessive levels of prolonged stress begin to wreak havoc on your body, causing widespread inflammation resulting in poor gut health, sleep disturbances, and weight gain. While emotional feelings of unworthiness and a sense of helplessness take over, your physical and mental wellbeing rapidly decline. Burnout may cause feelings of overwhelming pressure to meet demands you no longer find unattainable. As you continue to pull back from your usual pleasures, all areas of your life continue on a downward spiral.  

Recognizing Stress and the Road to Burnout

Stress is your body’s reaction to various demands, including situations that may potentially be dangerous. How you react and adjust are part of the beneficial role stress plays. When your body senses a possible threat, an automatic stress response creates a “fight-or-flight” reaction to help ensure your safety. 

But it isn’t always a benefit. Stress does have the ability to be harmful to your health, and it can happen before you know it. You may find it brings down your mood, lowers productivity, and hinders relationships. When stress takes its toll on your body, you can expect inflammation to spread, creating issues such as:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Muscle and joint aches and pains
• Digestive problems, including poor gut health
• Skin irritations, including acne and psoriasis
• Heart disease
• Weight gain
• Cognitive problems, including memory loss
• Exhaustion

Transitioning from Chronic Stress to Burnout

As time goes on, chronic stress sets in, plunging you further into turmoil. Your nervous system suffers greatly, and your health and wellness continue to deteriorate. You are on a dangerous road to burnout and placing yourself at a higher risk for heart attack and stroke. The problem is, it can be challenging to differentiate between what has now become "normal" stress and official burnout. Ask yourself these crucial questions which span across all areas of your life:

• Do you find yourself disengaging rather than excessively engaging in duties and activities?
• Are the majority of your symptoms emotional rather than physical?
• Have your emotions become numb instead of a constant state of feeling hypersensitive?
• Do you view the world and your role in life as hopeless and lacking meaning?

If you find yourself answering yes to these questions, it’s time to take actionable steps to decrease the effects of burnout.

Burnout Recovery Mode

Recognizing your burnout triggers is a step in the right direction. Actively taking those baby steps towards reducing stress and anxiety can save you from further health issues.

• Journaling: Try keeping a journal of your moods, eating and sleeping habits, and health concerns as they arise. You may begin to notice patterns that may help you pinpoint triggers and warning signs. Use journaling to relieve stress, plan your tasks, and track your progress. Journaling is a helpful release and an insightful way to recognize and reduce stress-inducers.

• Practice self-care: You spend the majority of your day catering to others. At work, school, and home, your responsibilities are part of your daily routine. So why aren’t you taking a little time for yourself? Finding a bit of “me-time” is essential in reducing and even avoiding burnout. While it may seem difficult to add one more thing to your list, a little exercise or a good book can make a world of difference.

• Make changes to your diet: Ensuring your body receives the essential vitamins and nutrients is vital to your health. Burnout is no exception. When you fill-up on the right foods, you take steps to reduce inflammation, support gut health, and boost energy levels. With the proper amounts of clean protein and healthy fats, you help cleanse and rid your body of the toxins that are weighing you down and plaguing your health.

A Cleanse to Promote Burnout Recovery

What if I could introduce you to a cleanse that could reset and restore your body and mind, pulling you out of the burnout darkness? Combatting multiple health symptoms, including burnout, has never been so simple. By implementing a quick yet safe 5-day cleanse, I can help you reduce inflammation throughout your body. After all, inflammation is the root of all your health woes, right? 

 A Rejuvenating Cleanse to Restore Your Health

When my own health took a nosedive, I set out to create a nutritious, revitalizing cleanse that would flush toxins, repair damage, reduce inflammation, and restore my health and wellness. With a nourishing cleanse that floods your system with vital essentials, your body will no longer have to work overtime to keep inflammation at bay. This means that in just five short days, you can begin to experience burnout recovery by enjoying clean proteins, the proper fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and the perfect amount of fiber. 

Improve Your Gut Health to Reduce Signs of Burnout

When you choose to cleanse your body with the right ingredients, you target the very health issues that are holding you hostage and drowning you in the symptoms of burnout. How do I know this? Because inflammation is an evil that spreads throughout your body, upsetting the balance and keeping you in a state of disarray. As inflammation declares war on your gut health, your body begins to fall victim to many of the same signs and symptoms caused by burnout. But when you provide your system with the healing properties of bone broth, you begin to experience improvements, targeting:

• Increase in blood glucose
• Stubborn belly fat
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Sleep issues
• Premature signs of aging
• Depression and anxiety
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Gut health, including gas and diarrhea
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Allergies
• Dry skin, acne, eczema, or discoloration

 The Link Between Inflammation and Gut Health

When inflammation takes over, your health is severely compromised, leading to a long list of illnesses and diseases. Your body aches, you weaken your immune system, and handling stress becomes a daunting task. As the inflammation worsens in your digestive tract, it has the potential to destroy your gut health and spread rapidly throughout your body. It begins to reach out to other areas of your body, spreading inflammation and illness throughout.

Opting to be proactive with your gut health is also a step towards burnout rescue. Committing to a collagen-packed cleanse will flush toxins and reset your gut health.
