How to recognize if you are in survival mode

Right now, you and I are living in a time and crisis we have never had to navigate before in our lives. And with a crisis comes a physiological response. Of course it will vary from person to person, but let's be honest, it's a MASSIVE stress. Mentally, emotionally, psychologically and even physically.

Sure, we can adjust and adapt and cope. But the threat is there, looming large in a myriad of ways.

With that in mind, I wanted to share more insight into your body, particularly to help you understand one of the glands that is working their little asses off right now.

Since I work with women in burnout and I myself was in extreme burnout and living in survival mode of many years; I feel compelled to help you understand your body more.

In this podcast episode I'm sharing insight into the inner workings of your body; to help you recognize if you might be in survival mode.

One of the most powerful glands in your body in terms of how you cope with stress, how your body regulates hormones, whether or not you are gaining weight are your adrenal glands.

What your body does with food depends on whether or not you are in a mode of thriving or surviving. Your adrenal glands control a switch that causes you to thrive. When you body is thriving you burn fat, you feel energized, your body functions properly. BUT, when you are in survival mode you will store fat and feel tired. Right now, we are in a collective 'survival mode'.

In this episode, I talk nerdy to you about your AMAZING adrenal glands and all the things they do for you when they work properly.
