Treatment Suggestions
If you’re constantly feeling anxious, wired-but-tired, burnt out, or emotionally drained, your nervous system may be stuck in fight-or-flight mode. Chronic stress raises cortisol, disrupts hormone balance, and depletes key nutrients.
What You Can Do Next:
- Test your stress hormone levels: A DUTCH test can measure cortisol and cortisone (active vs. inactive stress hormones) to see how your body is responding to stress. It also measures melatonin, which impacts sleep and recovery.
- Support your nervous system with breathwork, movement, and downtime to signal safety to your body.
- Balance blood sugar to prevent cortisol and adrenaline spikes that keep you in a stressed state.
- Improve sleep quality by reducing blue light exposure and creating a calming nighttime routine.
- Reduce stimulants like caffeine if it’s contributing to feeling overstimulated.
These steps help reset your body’s stress response so hormones can rebalance naturally. I help my clients regulate their nervous system in my Balance Your Hormones Program by teaching them how to reduce stress in a way that fits their lifestyle, balance blood sugar to prevent stress-related crashes, and build habits that support nervous system recovery long-term.
