If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately—like life is moving faster than you can keep up with, or like your usual coping skills aren’t working anymore—you’re not alone. More people than ever are experiencing emotional and energetic burnout. It’s not because people are weak, broken, or “not trying hard enough,” it’s because we’re living in a world that’s demanding so much of us, and our bodies are finally saying: I’m under pressure. I need more support.
The Body Under Pressure: What’s Really Happening?
In conventional medicine, emotional overwhelm is often viewed primarily through a psychological lens. You're likely to be offered a diagnosis—stress, anxiety, or even depression—and prescribed medications to manage the symptoms. While those tools can be helpful in certain situations, they rarely address the underlying physiological disruptions that cause the body to spiral out of balance in the first place.
Here’s what’s often missed: stress isn’t just “in your head.” It’s a whole-body event. Your adrenal glands pump out adrenaline to keep you going, but over time, that constant output becomes depleting to the body, mind and soul. Your liver tries to filter out the flood of stress-related toxins, but it too becomes burdened. Your nervous system shifts into a constant state of fight-or-flight.
So while medication may dull the symptoms, it doesn’t resolve the why. The body’s core systems need the right support so they can begin to self-regulate again.
Tools That Restore Balance from Within
Instead of masking symptoms, it’s important to focus on restoring physiological resilience—so you can respond to stress more effectively and actually begin to heal.
Some tools to support the body in times of overwhelm are:
- Celery juice: Supports liver function and helps reduce the emotional load the liver holds during stress.
- Lemon balm: A calming herb that gently soothes the nervous system and helps reduce feelings of anxiety.
- Chamomile and passionflower tea: Natural aids for deeper rest and nervous system support.
- Milk thistle and dandelion root: Herbal support for detoxification, giving your liver extra help when it's overwhelmed by chemical stress, viral debris, or emotional pressure.
- Adrenal healing snacks: Frequent, glucose-rich snacks like dates, bananas, coconut water, or apples with honey combined with mineral salts from leafy greens, cucumber slices or celery sticks help stabilize blood sugar and prevent adrenaline surges.

You can also turn to supportive, gentle tools that bring calm:
- Tapping (EFT): A powerful yet simple way to calm the nervous system. Apps like The Tapping Solution make it easy to begin.
- Sound Frequency Therapy: Tools like the Ora frequency sound machine offer soothing, brain-calming frequencies. I personally use it before bed to help wind down and reset.
- Soothing Apps: Calm, Insight Timer, and others offer wind-down meditations and soundscapes to create an environment of rest.
Spring Healing Energy + Guided Support
Spring is more than a shift in weather—it’s a biological invitation to reset. With longer days and warmer light, this season offers the perfect environment for renewal. It’s a time to gently realign with the natural rhythms that support deep healing.
This is the season to calm your nervous system, release stored stress, and restore the connection between your mind, body, and spirit. Whether it's standing in the sunlight, walking barefoot on the grass, or simply noticing the sound of birdsong, these small moments help lower cortisol, support heart rate variability, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s natural healing state.
If you're looking for deeper support, the Medical Medium Spring Healing Podcasts offer guided meditations designed to work on a cellular level. These tools go beyond the breath, helping you process stress, regulate your nervous system, and tap into your body's innate ability to heal.
These may seem like gentle shifts—but they’re profoundly effective. And spring is the perfect time to begin.
Final Thoughts
Your body isn’t failing you. It’s communicating with you—clearly, and often urgently. The good news is: there are answers. Your body has the innate wisdom to heal when given the right tools, space, and support.
Whether you’re navigating chronic symptoms, emotional stress, or a sense of burnout you can’t shake, know this: healing is possible. Not through suppression, but through nourishment, restoration, and reconnection.
And you don’t have to do it alone. If you’d like personalized support to guide you through this season of healing, my office is here to help.
With care,
Dr. Sherri Greene
