How to get out of fight-or-flight to boost energy and get your health back

Have you ever considered if you’re stuck in fight or flight mode? Many of the clientele I work with are living most of their lives from survival mode without realizing it. It’s what often drives fatigue, health issues, and not feeling like ourselves 

Being stuck in survival mode doesn't always mean you always feel stressed. Sometimes it means you’ve gotten so used to living in this state that it becomes your normal. 

Some (but not even close to all) tell tale signs you may be stuck in survival mode 

  • You struggle to relax & do nothing 

  • Your mind is BUSY and hard to turn off 

  • You’re a perfectionist, high achiever, over thinker, nothing is ever good enough 

  • You’re always rushing / on the go go go 

  • You have gut, digestive, hormone issues

  • You struggle to sleep even when you’re exhausted 

  • Your body is achy and muscles tight 

  • Your health isn’t getting better no matter what you do

  • OR you’re unmotivated, numb, and exhausted (freeze response)


I’ll hear from people, “that’s just who I am”... As someone who has been there, I believed that was true for me too (until my body gave me no other option than to make change)

Once you’re aware that fight or flight has been dominant in your life, this is when we can start to shift out of it.
