From Exhausted to Energized: The Science of Stress Recovery

Season #2

Episode Title: From Exhausted to Energized: The Science of Stress Recovery

Subtitle: The biology behind burnout and how to recharge without needing a month-long vacation.

Episode Summary

Feeling tired all the time? Like your brain is running on fumes, your body is betraying you, and your to-do list is basically trying to kill you? You're not alone—and you're not broken.

In this episode of The Mindset Medicine Show, Dr. Julia Bowlin dives deep into the real science of burnout. We’re talking prefrontal cortex fatigue, amygdala hijack, mitochondrial shutdown, and hormonal chaos—not just “you need more sleep.” You’ll learn why your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, and how to retrain your brain and body to feel calm, clear, and fully human again.

You’ll walk away with two powerful hypnotherapy techniques, a practical five-minute recovery ritual, and the clarity to finally understand what your stress is trying to tell you.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

- The 5 key physical effects of burnout most people overlook

- How your brain and hormones are wired for survival (not success)

- Why pushing through fatigue only deepens the damage

- The three types of stress you must recover from—acute, chronic, and hidden

- How to use hypnotherapy techniques like anchoring and time distortion to retrain your nervous system

- A daily Recharge Ritual you can do in five minutes or less

- What it means to be your own worst boss—and how to fire them today
