Building Resilience: The Missing Link in Autoimmune Burnout Recovery

Most people think resilience means pushing harder, powering through stress, fatigue, and flare-ups until the body finally gives in.

But what if that approach is actually keeping you stuck in burnout?

In this episode of Autoimmune Simplified, Dr. Alison Danby redefines what resilience really means in autoimmune healing, and it’s not about being tougher or doing more. You’ll learn how true resilience is built through flexibility, not force, and why it may be the key to restoring balance after chronic stress or flares.

This is Part 3 of our 3-part Autoimmune Burnout Series, wrapping up the conversation on burnout and cortisol with the science (and practice) of building your bounce-back capacity.

🔑 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Why resilience isn’t about “staying strong”, and what it actually looks like in autoimmune recovery.

• How burnout affects your body’s ability to adapt (and how to retrain it).

• The subtle mindset shift that signals your nervous system that it’s safe to rest.

• Practical ways to start rebuilding energy, balance, and emotional flexibility, one small step at a time.
