Burnout is not a lifestyle problem.
It’s a physiology problem.
Burnout — in the clinical sense — is what happens when a stress response system runs in chronic activation for long enough that it rewires the body’s baseline. The technical name is HPA axis dysregulation. What it feels like is waking up exhausted after eight hours of sleep, not being able to shut your brain off at night, snapping at the people you love, watching your labs come back normal while you feel anything but, and not recognizing the version of yourself showing up lately.
It progresses. And where you are in that progression determines what your body needs and in what order. Start with whichever question is most urgent for you right now.
