Episode 51: Why Summer Didn’t Recharge You—And How to Recover Now

Are you dragging yourself into fall feeling more exhausted than when summer began?

If your vacations, lake days, and slower schedules didn’t leave you recharged, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into why so many of us end the summer more burnt out than renewed, and what we can actually do to recover before the next season fully takes hold.

I share real patient stories that reveal the hidden reasons behind post-summer exhaustion, from disrupted sleep patterns to blood sugar shifts and nervous system hypervigilance. Most importantly, I’ll guide you through practical, holistic steps you can start now to reset your body, reclaim your energy, and head into fall with resilience instead of fatigue.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. Why “time off” doesn’t always equal true recovery.

2. How disrupted sleep quality (not just sleep hours) impacts energy and burnout.

3. The hidden role of late-night eating, alcohol, and travel on your physiology.

4. Why loving your work (or vacation!) can still burn out your body if you ignore recovery.

5. Four pillars of true recovery: metabolism, nervous system regulation, inflammation management, and intentional rituals.

6. How small, consistent choices can restore energy before the holiday season begins.
