Women on a Mission: Prevent Burn Out Now

Guest blog by Harvard-educated integrative physician Dr. Sara Gottfried MD

Here’s my opinion after years of taking care of women: It’s not your lack of vision that limits your ability to realize your full potential, deliver your Great Purpose, or grow your empire. It’s not limited capital, and it’s not your business savvy.

It’s your adrenal health—that is: the health of the two tiny endocrine glands that sit on top of your kidneys and secrete a ton of stress hormones.

And after 20 years of working with women to optimize their vitality with natural hormone balancing, I find the entrepreneurial women are at the greatest risk of burning out their adrenals. Whether your biz is a start up, or you are continuously launching, or you are a hard-working mom burning the candle at both ends, your #1 rate limiting aspect of your productivity (and success) is how you support the repair of your adrenals each day, each week, each month.

How’s Your Governor?
Your adrenals are like a governor on a motorcycle: They dictate just how far and how fast you can go.

Signs your adrenals are not on your team

• Your energy is half what it used to be.
• You grind or clench your teeth at night.
• Sleep is not restorative like it was 10 years ago.
• Every day, you need either a bite of chocolate or a glass or wine, maybe both. This is high cortisol, Darlings. We must address this.
• Hair loss? Yes, also related to adrenal problems.
• Your skin is more wrinkly. News flash: High cortisol breaks down collagen in the skin, the protein that girds the glowy, youthful skin texture. Without it, your skin ages prematurely, which is both a beauty and a health crisis.

Women on a Mission
Some call our modern lifestyle “agro.” To me, it’s just normal. I’m not going to tell you to start meditating 30 minutes per day or to cut out half of what you’re doing. Instead, I’m offering the proven strategies that keep you healing when work is demanding.

These same practices apply to all mission-driven women too: professionals, free lancers, patrons, activists, philanthropists, and especially working moms.

Your Conventional Doctor Has No Answers
Here’s the rub. Your conventional doctor will stare at you blankly if you ask for help with your adrenals. Perhaps you make your way to an alternative provider, but here’s the shocking truth: They offer ground up adrenal glands as therapy which have no good evidence to support their use and may be harmful for you to take.
