The 4 Signals Your Body Sends Before You Burn Out (That Blood Tests Miss)

Thu, 21 May 2026 14:00:00 +0200

I have been wanting to talk about this for a long time, and this felt like the right place to start.

So let's break down allostatic load: what it actually is, the four signals your body sends before anything shows up on a blood test, and why so many of us have been taught to ignore them. There's also a real story from someone with three years of normal bloods, and what I would do if they walked into my practice. I hope it's useful!
