Mom Exhaustion Decoded: How to Recharge & Thrive
Being a mom is the most rewarding job out there—but it can leave you running on empty. Between school drop-offs, grocery runs, and trying to squeeze in work around family life, exhaustion starts to feel normal. 😩 In this video, Dr. Drake breaks down why mom burnout happens and how to get to the root cause—so you can restore your energy and take care of your family without feeling drained.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, run-down, and like you're constantly running on empty? You're not alone. Motherhood is one of the most rewarding roles in the world—but also one of the most demanding. Between sleepless nights, nonstop responsibilities, and caring for your little ones, it’s easy to lose sight of your own well-being.
But what if there was a way to navigate this journey with more resilience, energy, and ease?
In this video, we’ll explore why so many moms feel exhausted—and more importantly, what you can do about it. From understanding the root causes of burnout like adrenal fatigue and nervous system dysregulation, to practical tips for self-care, this is for every mom ready to reclaim her energy and peace of mind.
Meet Alyssa—a new mom who, like many, was obsessed with her newborn but found herself running on fumes. After an early postpartum back injury, she struggled with constant pain, anxiety, and insomnia. Despite trying everything from coffee to energy drinks, she never felt truly rested or well.
Everything changed when Alyssa began focusing on her nervous system. Through small lifestyle shifts and Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, she began to feel more energized, resilient, and truly present for her family. By caring for her nervous system, she was finally able to show up as the mom she wanted to be.
Let’s break it down:
🔹 Adrenal fatigue results from chronic stress and overworked adrenal glands
🔹 Sympathetic overdrive traps your body in a constant fight-or-flight state
🔹 Poor sleep quality and reliance on stimulants only make it worse
Here are a few things that help restore balance:
✅ Aim for 7–8 hours of sleep—yes, it’s tough, but preparation and boundaries help
✅ Fuel your body with nutrient-rich foods
✅ Move your body and engage in activities that bring you joy
✅ Ask for help—whether from your partner, family, or friends
✅ Let go of perfection and delegate when possible
Your parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for rest, healing, and calm. When you’re stuck in overdrive, it can’t do its job. That’s where Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care comes in—it helps restore that crucial balance, improves sleep and digestion, and supports your whole-body well-being.
