This week, I\u2019m joined by Elizabeth Gaines, FDN Practitioner and Director of Education at FDN Training, to talk about what happens when stress, burnout, and years of pushing through finally catch up with you. After years working in a high-pressure nonprofit supporting victims of trafficking, Elizabeth found herself exhausted, struggling with chronic fatigue, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, and a body that no longer felt like her own. Yet every conventional test came back &quot;normal.&quot; In this conversation, we unpack:  \u2714\ufe0f The difference between diagnostic testing and functional testing  \u2714\ufe0f Why so many women feel terrible despite being told they're &quot;fine&quot;  \u2714\ufe0f How chronic stress impacts cortisol, hormones, energy, mood, and motivation  \u2714\ufe0f Why supplements aren't the magic fix social media makes them out to be  \u2714\ufe0f The surprising signs your body may be running on empty  \u2714\ufe0f Why walking might be the most underrated form of exercise  \u2714\ufe0f The power of 30-day experiments instead of all-or-nothing lifestyle changes  \u2714\ufe0f How productivity culture keeps women trapped in burnout  \u2714\ufe0f Why rest, community, hobbies, and joy aren't luxuries. They're part of your health plan. One of my favorite moments in the conversation was when Elizabeth said: &quot;We're trying to pay back the gift of our lives with our labor. If that's the deal, we can never stop working because the debt never clears.&quot; If you've been feeling tired, irritable, unmotivated, overwhelmed, or like your body isn't responding the way it used to, this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode will leave you with a completely different way of looking at stress, health, and recovery.
