3 Key Takeaways

  • There are multiple causes of burnout, but childhood trauma is one of the root causes. Childhood trauma can cause overcompensation tendencies that eventually lead to burnout. Inflammation in your body is another root cause of burnout.
  • Mothers can pass down stress and anxiety in the womb. When a pregnant woman is experiencing a traumatic or stressful event, the genes of the baby in the womb become more accustomed to the stress hormone cortisol. The baby is then born with a more hypersensitive nervous system.
  • If you want to prevent or treat burnout you must: heal emotions from childhood, release generational trauma, reduce inflammation toxicity by healing your gut and liver, and rebuild your adrenal glands to sustain everyday stress.
