The Goode Health: Functional Medicine, Longevity & Autoimmune

Are you trying to regulate your nervous system but nothing seems to work? Not all stress is the same. If you feel wired and anxious, flat and unmotivated, prone to immune crashes, or completely burned out, your nervous system is in a different biological state — and it requires a different regulation strategy. Generic stress management advice like meditation, breathwork, cold exposure or intense exercise can actually make symptoms worse when they’re not matched to your current stress pattern.In this episode, we break down how to regulate your nervous system safely and effectively based on whether you’re in a wired stress response, flat stress state, immune-driven fatigue pattern, or burnout-style depletion.01:50 – How Nervous System Regulation Actually Works04:50 – How to Identify Your Current Stress Pattern06:40 – Pattern 1: Wired Stress Response (High Cortisol / High Alert)11:50 – Pattern 2: Flat Stress State (Low Energy / Shutdown Mode)16:24 – Pattern 3: Immune-Driven Stress & Post-Exertional Fatigue20:40 – Pattern 4: Burnout-Style Stress & Nervous System Depletion24:50 – How to Choose the Right Regulation Tools (Without Overwhelm)RESOURCES: Grab all the links and resources mentioned in this episode at https://www.nicolegoodehealth.com/the-goode-health-podcast/episode-113DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and related website is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice.

Why does stress feel different for everyone? In this episode of The Goode Health Podcast, we explain why stress isn’t a single experience, and why treating it like one is often the reason stress advice doesn’t work.

Stress doesn’t always feel like stress. Many people living with chronic stress symptoms are still functioning, coping, and getting through their days until suddenly they can’t.

If you’ve been resting more, doing less, and still feel tired, this episode explains why rest alone often isn’t enough to restore energy and what actually helps. In this episode of The Good Health Podcast, Nicole Good unpacks why low energy can persist even when you’re doing “all the right things,” and why trying harder or adding more routines often makes exhaustion worse instead of better.04:05 — Why Rest Alone Doesn’t Restore Energy06:15 — The 3 Pillars of Safe Energy Rebuilding06:50 — Pillar 1: Timing (Working With Your Body’s Rhythms)08:25 — Pillar 2: Foundations (Stabilising Before Optimising)10:00 — Pillar 3: Feedback (Listening to Your Body’s Signals)11:45 — The Core Problem With Energy Recovery13:15 — What the Good Health Studio Is Designed to SupportYou’ll learn what’s really happening inside the body when energy is low, including how stress signalling, blood sugar instability, sleep disruption, and nervous system overload can prevent rest from becoming restorative.RESOURCES: Grab all the links and resources mentioned in this episode at https://www.nicolegoodehealth.com/the-goode-health-podcast/episode-110DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and related website is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice.

Low energy isn’t one single experience, and that’s why so much generic advice fails. In this third episode of the Energy series, we explain the four most common low energy patterns we see repeatedly in clinic, helping you understand why your fatigue shows up the way it does. Rather than labels or diagnoses, this episode focuses on biological patterns that reflect how the body adapts to stress, illness, inflammation, and prolonged demand.02:50 — Why Low Energy Looks Different in Different People05:20 — Pattern 1: Wired But Tired (Chronic Stress & Nervous System Overdrive)13:40 — Pattern 2: Flat Fatigue (Energy Conservation & Reduced Output)20:10 — Pattern 3: Post-Viral or Immune-Driven Fatigue26:10 — Pattern 4: Burnout-Style Fatigue (Loss of Adaptive Capacity)30:50 — What All Low Energy Patterns Have in CommonEach pattern is explained in clear, relatable terms so you can see yourself in the physiology — not judge yourself for it. If you’ve ever felt tired all day but alert at night, struggled to recover after illness, felt heavy and unmotivated for no obvious reason, or wondered why rest doesn’t restore your energy anymore, this episode will help you make sense of it.RESOURCES: Grab all the links and resources mentioned in this episode at https://www.nicolegoodehealth.com/the-goode-health-podcast/episode-109DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and related website is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice.

Energy is often treated as a mindset problem, something to fix with motivation, discipline, or better routines. But real, sustainable energy is created inside the body. In this episode, we break down the biology of energy, explaining why fatigue is rarely about one single issue and why “doing all the right things” doesn’t always translate into feeling energized.00:50 – Energy Is Not a Mindset Problem03:00 – How Energy Is Created at a Cellular Level06:00 – Cortisol, Circadian Rhythm & Energy Timing08:40 – Blood Sugar Instability & Energy Crashes11:10 – Low-Grade Inflammation & Immune Activation13:30 – A New Framework for Supporting EnergyIf you struggle with persistent low energy, afternoon slumps, feeling wired at night but exhausted in the morning, or fatigue that doesn’t improve with sleep or nutrition alone, this episode will give you a clear, systems-based framework for understanding what your body is responding to.

Feeling tired all the time has become so common that many people stop questioning it, but persistent fatigue is not normal, and it isn’t a personal failure. In this episode of The Good Health Podcast, we reframe fatigue as data, not a character flaw. You’ll learn why low energy is often your body’s way of communicating that something needs support, rather than a sign that you need more discipline, motivation, or caffeine.We walk through the early warning signs of fatigue most people overlook, including unrefreshing sleep, brain fog, reliance on stimulants, crashing after work or weekends, and taking longer to recover from stress or illness. This episode also explains the cost of pushing through fatigue, and why compensation (running on stress hormones and adrenaline) is not the same as true recovery.00:50 – Why Feeling Tired All the Time Isn’t Normal05:10 – What Actually Determines Your Energy Levels06:50 – Early Signs of Fatigue Most People Ignore09:20 – Compensation vs Recovery10:40 – The Long-Term Cost of Pushing Through Fatigue12:20 – A New Way to Respond to FatigueIf you’ve ever wondered why rest doesn’t seem to restore your energy anymore, or why “I’ll rest later” stops working, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface.RESOURCES: Grab all the links and resources mentioned in this episode at https://www.nicolegoodehealth.com/the-goode-health-podcast/episode-107DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and related website is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice.
