Ep. 213: Is 'Tired but Wired' Your New Normal?
Description
You’re exhausted—but your mind won’t shut off. Sound familiar? In this episode, we dive into the frustrating experience of feeling “tired but wired”—and how it might be more than just burnout.
We unpack the science behind this sensation, looking closely at adrenal fatigue, cortisol imbalances, and dysfunction in the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis. You’ll learn how chronic stress and disrupted sleep patterns may be silently sabotaging your energy—and how this state of overstimulation often overlaps with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and hypothyroidism.
We discuss:
What "tired but wired" really means and why it happens
How cortisol rhythms affect thyroid health and hormone balance
Whether adrenal fatigue is real—and what the research says
Practical tips to calm your nervous system and reclaim energy
If you're caught in a cycle of exhaustion and overstimulation, this episode is your guide to understanding what’s happening inside your body—and how to start feeling better.
