Fatigue and burnout — physical dimension

Fatigue is not laziness — it is the body speaking in the only language the mind reliably hears. Burnout has a measurable physiology: dysregulated cortisol rhythms, mitochondrial stress, chronic inflammation, and an immune system stretched thin. Recovery is not about rest alone but about systematically addressing each of these layers, which takes longer than most people expect and more honesty about pace than most cultures allow.
