Episode 05: Show Notes:
’Tis the Season of Added Stress as the Holidays are Upon Us Amidst A Global Pandemic: Signs to Watch for to Avoid Adrenal Fatigue and Burnout w/ Dr. Sarah Harbottle RN.
Daily life in the modern world is stressful, and with Christmas on the way as well as a global pandemic on our hands, the risks of burnout are bigger than ever. Today we explore the subject of adrenal fatigue as well as approaches to preventing and recovering from this syndrome with Dr. Sarah Harbottle, a naturopathic doctor practicing in British Columbia. Dr. Harbottle begins by telling the story of how the burnout she was experiencing in her twenties from her stressful career as a corporate lawyer led her to seek out the help of a naturopathic doctor. The treatment she received was so beneficial to her that she decided to study to become a naturopathic doctor herself, and we talk about how she incorporates this philosophy into the way she treats patients feeling the effects of burnout. For Dr. Harbottle, the treatment and prevention of adrenal fatigue centers around an integrated approach that incorporates a healthy balance of many factors including sleep, diet, exercise, perception, and supplements. We also talk about lifestyles that cause adrenal fatigue, what the term ‘adrenal fatigue’ refers to and how to diagnose this syndrome, and the role cortisol levels play in feelings of burnout. So, if you are feeling like you are in a constant state of fight or flight, this episode could help you take the first steps toward a lifestyle change and lead you back to a state of calm and centeredness.
