Recover From Burnout Naturally

While Building Resilience to Stress & Adrenal Fatigue

Why This Matters to Me

Burnout, adrenal fatigue, and even anxiety and low mood, are all closely linked to nutritional deficiencies, hormonal balance, adrenals, digestive health and chronic stress.

Natural medicine offers a real alternative in supporting mental and emotional wellbeing. I was first introduced to Naturopathy over 30 years ago—at a time when I was rundown and experiencing burnout myself. I was amazed by how quickly my health picked up and how life-changing the experience was.
That’s what led me to train as a Naturopath. This subject is close to my heart, and it’s one of the reasons I work so closely with people facing stress-related health challenges.

Natural medicine offers a real alternative in managing our mental and emotional health. In fact, I was introduced to Naturopathy over 30 years ago, when I was experiencing burnout and was very rundown. I was amazed by how quickly my health picked up and what a life changing difference it made. What’s more, this is what led me to train as a Naturopath, and is why this subject is so close to my heart.

People frequently come and see me in London, Suffolk or online, with the following issues, but please call with any questions about symptoms you may be experiencing.

Do you feel burnt out and exhausted?

So many of us today find ourselves under constant pressure—long hours, demanding workloads, family strain, financial stress, trauma, poor sleep, or stimulant overuse. When the adrenal and nervous systems are rundown, these stresses hit harder and recovery becomes more difficult.

Burnout and adrenal fatigue are something I see more and more in clinic. The effects are wide-reaching—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. They can impact work, relationships, and overall quality of life.

In some cases, adrenal fatigue may also contribute to low energy levels and excess fat storage, especially when cortisol is chronically elevated.

✅ Common Symptoms May Include:

  • Morning fatigue or trouble waking up
  • Decreased libido
  • Low mood or depression
  • Muscle weakness
  • Poor focus or brain fog
  • Bone loss
  • Inflammation
  • Increased allergies
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Irritability
  • Cravings for sugar
  • Hair loss
  • Weight gain
  • Muscle tension
  • Difficulty tolerating high-carb or potassium-rich foods unless paired with fat and protein

🌿Herbs, Nutrition, Diet & Stress Reduction

🌱Natural Medicine

Fortunately, there are good natural remedies to help support recovery from burnout and adrenal fatigue. Everyone’s needs are different, and I’ll tailor your plan based on what your body requires and for how long.

The key is to identify which systems have been affected—such as the nervous system, digestive function, thyroid—and support them while easing symptoms. In consultation, I use iridology to help pinpoint what needs attention.

Depending on your health picture, I may include herbs such as:

  • Ashwagandha
  • Astragalus
  • Holy Basil

These are chosen based on your underlying needs. I also use minerals and nutritional support—especially magnesium, B vitamins, and other essentials in balance. Homeopathy is often a key part of the program, helping to support emotional wellbeing and energy.

🥗 Diet

Your diet should be rich in superfoods, healthy fats, quality proteins, and vegetables. I’ll go over this in detail during your consultation.

Just as important is what you avoid. Cutting down or eliminating:

  • Hydrogenated oils
  • Processed foods
  • Sugars and sweeteners
  • Caffeine

…can take pressure off an already overworked system and help you feel better faster.

🧘‍♂️ Stress Reduction

Restoring adrenal function means listening to your body and your emotional needs. Here are some simple steps that can help:

  • Rest when tired
  • Sleep 8–10 hours a night
  • Stick to a regular sleep cycle (ideally in bed before 10 p.m.)
  • Laugh and do something fun daily
  • Minimise work and relationship stress
  • Eat regularly and reduce caffeine/sugar
  • Exercise gently—walking is enough
  • Avoid negative people
  • Take time for yourself
  • Seek support for any traumatic experiences

Natural Support for Emotional Wellbeing

Anxiety and depression are very common reasons people come to see me—often affecting every part of daily life.

In many cases, medication is offered quickly. While some people do feel better on antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication, I often find these drugs don’t address the underlying predisposition. I’ve seen them prescribed for things like giving up smoking, tired mums, and “active kids”—and I’m concerned about how often they’re used without deeper investigation.

These medications can also carry side effects, including tiredness, decreased alertness, sexual problems, mood swings, and more. That’s why I focus on identifying and supporting the root causes.

In my experience, the answer often lies in:

  • Correcting nutritional deficiencies
  • Supporting hormonal balance
  • Making lifestyle changes that restore energy and emotional resilience

There are always going to be life events—loss, divorce, financial strain—that naturally affect our mood. But more commonly, I see people who are rundown, anxious, and feeling hopeless. On closer examination, there are often simple, natural steps that can lift wellbeing and restore clarity—without suppressing emotion or dulling the spirit.

If you’re considering coming off medication, please speak with your doctor and feel free to contact me for support.

Here’s a couple of examples from clients of mine to demonstrate some of the changes people have experienced in their lives:

“This last week I went the entire week without my medication and in fact I have not felt this good in 12 to 15 years. I feel and act that much younger and that is all very much appreciated.”

“I already have more energy & drive, with just three days on the program, than I’ve had in months … maybe years!”

“From someone who never stayed out after 8.30-9.00pm, I have broken all records – partying until 4am. And of more importance is spending more time at night with my son.”

“This has been the best week I’ve had in three years. I haven’t had any anxiety, no speeding feeling at all. I am so positive and I’m much happier. I have more energy overall.” She later wrote back saying, “I have finished the program, I had the best month in years. Completely anxiety free, sleeping well, and very happy.”

“My son has been on your regime for 3 days – he seems far more lively and answers back a lot! He is SO high (in a happy and cheerful way) – have reduced Prozac to 0.6ml. He seems to be rather bouncy – he says he feels happier, especially at school.”

“I went to see Nick because I was feeling anxious and run down. I had adrenal fatigue as well as problems with my digestion and sluggish circulatory system. Nick supplied me with the necessary tinctures and pills which have made a huge difference to my well-being. I feel so much better in myself. I’m really thankful that Nick was available if I needed to ask a question either by email or phone. Thank you Nick.”
