Louise Valentine joins us in Episode 42 to talk about how she learned to work with her body s physiology in stress response to work her way out of burnout and prevent it from happening again. Having hit the tipping point of her body s stress response at the starting line of the Boston Marathon, Louise realized that while she had a lot of knowledge and was doing all the nutrition and training the way she had been trained herself. It was the psychological burnout affecting the physical body s response that sent her running for help.

It takes a team to help with the healing. Supports in nutrition, exercise coaching, physicians, and family came together as an army to get Louise back where she wanted to be, which was running. Shifting of the mind and body, then empowering the mind and body to be prepared for what you can anticipate coming in the days or week ahead of you can help prevent the burnout from coming. Paying attention to your body s cues that it is feeling stress is a great way to adapt your levels of activity to give your mind and body opportunity to rest and recover. Taking these breaks and giving the body rest actually improves your holistic health and increases your ability to achieve what you re aiming for in the long run.
