In this empowering episode, Sarah shines a light on a hidden epidemic she sees in so many women’s hormone tests: stress hormone exhaustion (also called adrenal fatigue).

While most of us think about stress hormone overdrive, Sarah explains why the opposite—bottomed-out stress hormones—is just as common, and often even more damaging.

You’ll discover:

— Why this condition increases your risk for diabetes, autoimmune issues, and hormone chaos
— The dangers of “pill for an ill” or over-supplementing when your system is already depleted
— The 3 steps Sarah uses with clients to recover naturally and reclaim their energy

Sarah weaves together functional medicine and Ayurveda to give you a clear, holistic path forward. From deep, restorative rest to easy-to-digest nourishment to shifting your self-talk, you’ll hear how to reset your hormones in ways that are both simple and profoundly healing.

This episode offers clarity, compassion, and hope—because stress hormone exhaustion isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning of a whole new chapter of balance and vitality.
