Burnout – A Naturopathic Perspective

Julie came into my office feeling exhausted, moody, and easily overwhelmed. She craved sugary food and relied on coffee for energy. Her doctor said her blood tests were fine. Julie was frustrated and did not feel fine – what was going on? My assessment revealed Julie was experiencing adrenal fatigue, or “burnout”. When we are too busy for too long, our nervous system loses the ability to switch into recovery mode in order to rejuvenate itself. A naturopathic doctor can recommend treatments that can help, and little changes can have a big impact. Most private insurance companies have some coverage for naturopathic medical care.
