Adrenal Fatigue & the Four Domains: Healing Begins with Slowness
🎙️ Podcast Title: Three Sisters 📌 Episode Title: Adrenal Fatigue & the Four Domains: Healing Begins with Slowness 📄 Episode Summary: In this rich, reflective episode of Three Sisters, Victoria and Serena return from their Ashland immersion with Ellen and bring to light a surprising, collective realization—adrenal fatigue. What started as a bodywork session to explore physical scars unraveled layers of depletion, tenderness, and the modern world’s chronic override. They unpack how adrenal fatigue hides in plain sight, how intuitive somatic work brings it to the surface, and why slow recovery is an act of resistance and remembrance. You’ll also hear about gallbladder flushes, the power of being witnessed, why eating crème fraîche is a form of devotion, and how deep friendship can carry healing into everyday life. 🌟 Key Takeaways & Themes: 💤 Adrenal Fatigue Is Everywhere: It’s not just burnout—it’s systemic, cultural, and often invisible until we slow down enough to feel it. 🌱 Witnessing as Medicine: Having attuned hands, friends, and space allows the body to reveal what it’s ready to heal. 🍳 Food as Frequency: Animal fats, GAPS shakes, and caviar aren’t just nutrients—they're chemistry that supports intuition, safety, and vitality. 🔍 Detox, Scar Tissue, and Sleep: How adrenal fatigue connects to gallbladder congestion, tattoo ink, and the quality of your dreams. 🌀 The Four Domains of Healing: Real healing happens when biochemistry, biomechanics, emotion, and existential inquiry all come into the room. 💬 Standout Soundbites: Victoria: "I thought exhaustion was just part of motherhood—until I stopped and realized my tissues were begging for mercy." Serena: "I’m married to my sobriety now. Because I want to trust the signals that come from my body." Victoria: "If I don’t nail sleep, there are consequences. But if I do? The body opens like a flower." Serena: "Healing is slow. But slow isn’t stuck—it’s sacred." Victoria: "Hold my GAPS shake and watch what this body can do." ⏰ Chapters & Timestamps: 🎙️ [00:00 - 06:35] – Welcome Back: Ashland Immersion & the Wake-Up Call Discovering adrenal fatigue and why it took immersion to finally feel it. 💤 [06:36 - 14:30] – The Body Says No: Scar Tissue as a Signal How old patterns, hidden fatigue, and deeper truths showed up through touch. 🌀 [14:31 - 22:30] – Trust, Safety & Somatic Witnessing The power of three women—two sisters and a practitioner—to go deeper than ever before. 📚 [22:31 - 28:00] – Adrenal Fatigue 101 Defining the stages, symptoms, and what most people miss when it comes to recovery. 🍳 [28:01 - 36:15] – Root-Cause Medicine, Responsibility & Food as Devotion Shifting from band-aids to GAPS, ancestral nods, and kitchen alchemy. 🌿 [36:16 - 41:45] – Gut, ECM, and Subtle Listening Why your ability to hear the body depends on the clarity of your chemistry. 🔥 [41:46 - 49:10] – Scar Sensing, Sugar Confessions & Clean Signals How detox, intuition, and craving show up differently when the body is clear. 🥚 [49:11 - 55:22] – Caviar, Clarity & Getting “Stoned” on Food What non-ordinary states really mean when sobriety is your superpower. 🌑 [55:23 - 1:02:15] – Gallbladders, Ink, and Listening to the Lag Processing delays, immune hits, and what the body finally said. 🛌 [1:02:16 - 1:05:45] – Sleep as Sacred & Safety as Prerequisite Why sleep matters more than supplements, and how to actually feel safe enough to rest. 🛡️ [1:05:46 - 1:10:22] – Inner Father, Outer Feminine & Playing with Fat The responsibility of caring for what you ask for—and having fun doing it. 📢 Like What You Hear?
