In this episode, we explore how the body adapts to stress through allostasis—not just balance through homeostasis—and why this explains burnout and chronic fatigue more accurately. We break down how stress builds over time and how focusing on thresholds, not perfect balance, can change the way we approach recovery and self-care.
