Feeling tired, foggy, or emotionally drained even after resting?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), burnout isn’t just “being tired.”
It’s a deeper imbalance that touches your energy, emotions, and even your organs.
Here’s how your body tells the story 👇
𝟏. 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 → 𝐇𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬
- In TCM, the Kidneys store Jing, your foundational essence.
- Chronic stress and overwork deplete Jing, leading to premature aging signs like thinning hair or hair loss.
𝟐. 𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐐𝐢 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 → 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐨𝐠 & 𝐆𝐮𝐭 𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬
- The Spleen governs digestion and transforms food into Qi and Blood.
- When overthinking, worry, or poor diet weaken the Spleen, you get bloating, fatigue, and fuzzy thinking.
- “Can’t think straight? Your gut might be the one asking for help.”
𝟑. 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐐𝐢 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 → 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 & 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
- The Liver ensures smooth flow of Qi and emotions.
- Stress causes Liver Qi to stagnate, leading to irritability, poor sleep, and disrupted digestion.
- “When stress jams your flow, your body speaks up—in your belly, your mood, your mind.”
𝟒. 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭-𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲 → 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐧𝐢𝐚 & 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞
- The Heart houses the Shen (spirit), and the Spleen nourishes it with Blood.
- Burnout can lead to poor sleep, anxiety, and mental exhaustion.
🌸 Burnout isn’t just in your head, it’s your body’s way of saying “slow down”
With the right care, your energy, clarity, and calm can return
