TIPS & TRICKS FOR Burnout QueenS

  • 01 Front load nourishment. Eat protein and fat early in the day before caffeine. This reduces evening crashes and anxiety spikes.
  • 02 Caffeine with a chaperone: Never caffeine alone. Pair it with food or high fat/protein like full fat milk, egg yolk, collagen to soften the nervous system hit.
  • 03 Schedule recovery and meals like a meeting: Put rest, walks, meals, and/or decompression time on your calendar so it doesn’t get sacrificed.
  • 04 Evening light hygiene: Dim lights after sunset and avoid overhead lighting. This alone can improve sleep quality.
  • 05 Stop problem-solving at night: Stop checking messages and emails after a set hour to give cortisol a chance to fall
  • 06 Calm mealtimes.  Make sure your meals are eaten sitting down without distractions (this means no scrolling)
