After the Burnout
Welcome to After the Burnout podcast where real health meets real life. No Pinterest routines, no toxic hustle, no wellness gatekeeping. Just raw, unfiltered conversations that get to the heart (and gut) of what it actually means to feel good again.
I talk with friends, clients, and fellow humans about the messy middle of burnout, hormones, stress, healing, and everything in between with a side of sarcasm, science, and soul.
If you’re tired of overthinking your health and ready to actually understand your body… you’re in the right place.
After the Burnout
Why You Keep Losing and Gaining the Same 10 Pounds (It’s Not a Willpower Problem — It’s a Nervous System Pattern)
You know the loop.
You lose the weight.
You feel in control.
Then one stressful month, one vacation, or one emotional trigger later…
You’re right back where you started.
This episode is NOT about willpower, macros, or “just stick to the plan.”
It’s about safety — and why your nervous system will always override your strategy.
Inside this episode of After The Burnout, you’ll learn:
► Why your body won’t burn what it doesn’t feel safe letting go of
► How fight-or-flight slows metabolism, increases cravings, and causes rebound weight gain
► The real reason you’re addicted to something always being wrong
► What actually breaks the 10-pound loop (and it’s not more discipline)
