Burnout Recovery, Nervous System Healing & Women’s Health with Ashleigh Grave
Burnout is more than feeling tired; it’s a full-body shutdown that affects the nervous system, hormones, digestion, immunity, and emotional resilience. In this powerful episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray sits down with Ashleigh Grave, certified nutritional practitioner, holistic nutritionist, author, and former corporate banker, to unpack what burnout really looks like and how to begin healing. She now helps others understand the root causes of chronic stress and how to rebuild nervous system health.
Ashleigh shares her deeply personal journey from high-stress corporate banking to holistic nutrition after experiencing severe burnout that left her with chronic infections, nervous system collapse, thyroid dysfunction, and even loss of sensation in her leg. Her story highlights how burnout often develops slowly over the years and why so many people miss the early warning signs.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
The early signs of burnout that most people ignore, including loss of joy and chronic fatigue
How burnout impacts the nervous system, adrenals, thyroid, digestion, and immunity
Why women are especially vulnerable to burnout in hustle culture
The connection between people-pleasing, lack of boundaries, and nervous system overload
How digestive issues, dread of Mondays, and constant exhaustion may be burnout symptoms
Why rest without guilt is essential for healing
Simple, accessible tools to begin burnout recovery without overwhelm
Burnout, Women & the Nervous System
Heather and Ashleigh dive into how modern work culture conflicts with women’s natural biological rhythms. Ignoring cyclical needs, pushing through exhaustion, and prioritizing productivity over restoration can eventually lead to autoimmune issues, hormonal imbalances, and nervous system dysregulation. They also explore the loss of community support in modern society and how isolation contributes to burnout, especially for caregivers and high-achieving women.
Practical Burnout Recovery Tools Discussed:
Nervous system regulation techniques such as vagal toning, breathwork, humming, chanting, and EFT tapping
Cold exposure methods like placing hands under cold water or using ice packs on the chest to support vagus nerve activation
The importance of starting small with nutrition and lifestyle changes during burnout
Actively resting without guilt
Using frequency-based wellness tools to support calm and regulation
