What if the reason you’re exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or stuck… isn’t because you’re doing something wrong?

What if your body is simply in survival mode?

In this solo episode, Dr. Dee breaks down what survival mode really is, why so many high-achieving women get trapped there, and how chronic stress quietly shuts down healing, metabolism, hormones, and energy.

This isn’t about pushing harder.

It’s about understanding your nervous system — and learning how to bring your body back into safety, regulation, and alignment.

If you’ve ever said:

• “I don’t feel like myself anymore”
• “No matter what I do, nothing works”
• “I’m doing all the right things and still exhausted”

This episode is for you.

🎧 Listen now and learn how to work with your body — not against it.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS THAT YOU CAN LEARN

1. Survival mode is a nervous system state — not a mindset problem
2. You can’t force healing when your body doesn’t feel safe
3. Chronic stress shuts down hormones, metabolism, and recovery
4. Symptoms are signals, not failures
5. Regulation — not restriction — is the path back to energy and clarity
