🚨 PSA for the overachievers running on fumes: If you’ve been waking up tired… Feeling wired but weirdly exhausted… Running on caffeine but still dragging yourself through the day… It’s not that you’re unmotivated. It’s not that you’ve “let yourself go.” 👉🏻 It’s your body sounding the alarm. Your mitochondria are spent. Your nervous system is stuck in survival mode. And caffeine? It’s just hitting the gas on an empty tank. This isn’t a discipline problem. It’s a burnout pattern — and your body is finally being honest with you. I just dropped a new episode of the Root Cause Rx Podcast breaking all of this down — why energy crashes happen, how to reset your system, and the real reason coffee stopped working. 📩 DM me ENERGY and I’ll send you the link to the episode plus the free Energy Reset Guide I use with patients to rebuild real energy — no fluff, no crash, no guessing. 👇 Tag someone who needs to hear this. ❤️ Save this if you’ve been blaming yourself. — #RootCauseRx #BurnoutRecovery #FunctionalMedicine

✨ Your coffee isn’t broken. Your system is. If your first cup used to give you life — but now it barely hits (or makes you crash harder)… this one’s for you. Because caffeine doesn’t make energy. It squeezes it out of your reserves. And if your system’s already depleted… there’s nothing left to pull from. 🔥 More coffee won’t fix burnout. But there is a way to rebuild from here — step by step. ➡️ Swipe through this carousel to find out what’s actually going on behind your fatigue (and 4 better things to try instead of a second cup). 🎧 Then hit this week’s Root Cause Rx Podcast for the full breakdown: → what caffeine’s really doing to your mitochondria, cortisol, and nervous system → and how to get your real energy back — sustainably. 👇 Comment ENERGY and I’ll DM you my free Energy Reset Guide — loaded with simple rituals that actually work when your system’s running on fumes. — #RootCauseRxPodcast #EnergyReset #CaffeineCrash

🚨 NEW EPISODE JUST DROPPED “Your coffee isn’t broken — your body’s burned out.” ☕🔥 If you’re still tired after your morning caffeine… If you feel wired but wiped… If your energy crashes harder than your motivation… This episode is for you. 🎧 Still Tired After Coffee? Here’s What Your Body’s Trying to Tell You breaks down: • Why caffeine stops working (and why it’s not a failure — it’s a signal) • How stress, cortisol, and mitochondria affect energy • What burnout really feels like (hint: it’s not just fatigue) • The hormone–caffeine crash cycle (especially pre-period) • The exact labs I run when someone says “I’m tired all the time” • How to rebuild real energy — without quick fixes or extra cups ⚡️Because more coffee isn’t the answer if your system’s already screaming for help. 👉 Episode 9 is live now.

Your coffee isn’t broken. Your body is burned out. If you used to feel alive after that first sip… and now you just feel anxious, tired, or totally flat by 2pm? This isn’t about giving up caffeine. It’s about understanding why your system can’t run on it anymore. Because caffeine doesn’t make energy — it just squeezes it out of your reserves. And if your cortisol’s tanked, your mitochondria are fried, and your nervous system’s running on fumes? That “meh” coffee feeling is your wake-up call — and it has nothing to do with the beans. 🎙️ I break it all down in this week’s Root Cause Rx Podcast — and I made you something to help. 👇 Comment ENERGY and I’ll send you my free Energy Reset Guide to help you rebuild the right way — from the root up. #rootcauserx #caffeinecrash #adrenalfatigue
If your body’s been yelling “I’m inflamed”… NAC might be the missing piece. Not just for detox. Not just for lung gunk. NAC helps clear the backlog — so your brain, hormones, and immune system can breathe again.
If your body’s been yelling “I’m inflamed”… NAC might be the missing piece. Not just for detox. Not just for lung gunk. NAC helps clear the backlog — so your brain, hormones, and immune system can breathe again. 💭 Brain fog that won’t budge? 🧬 Histamine flares, post-viral crashes, PCOS patterns? 🫁 Mucus, anxiety, sensitivity to everything? NAC helps your system drain, not just react. It builds glutathione, calms inflammation, and supports real recovery upstream. ✨ Final takeaway: NAC = glutathione builder + mucus breaker + immune reset. — 📍Want to personalize your supplement stack? 🔗 Book a free 15-min discovery call (link in bio) 💧Want to try a clean electrolyte blend while you’re at it? 🛒 10% off trusted brands in my dispensary — also in bio. #RootCauseRx #FunctionalMedicine #NAC
“I felt like a different person on the pill…” You weren’t imagining it. Mood swings. Flat emotions. Anxiety you couldn’t explain. That sense of being off, but no one ever connected the dots for you? Here’s the
“I felt like a different person on the pill…” You weren’t imagining it. Mood swings. Flat emotions. Anxiety you couldn’t explain. That sense of being off, but no one ever connected the dots for you? Here’s the truth most people were never told: 🚫 No ovulation = no natural progesterone 🧠 No progesterone = less calm, less sleep, less YOU. Birth control didn’t “regulate” your cycle — it replaced it. This post isn’t about fear. It’s about informed choice, hormone education, and giving your body the context it’s been missing. 🌀 If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself — this might be why. ➡️ Save this for later. ➡️ Tag someone who deserves the full story. ➡️ And if you’re ready to decode your hormones the Root Cause way… 👇 Drop CYCLE in the comments & I’ll DM you the podcast + free testing guide. #birthcontroltruth #rootcauserx #progesterone

📉 Mood swings. 😴 Fatigue. 😩 Zero libido. If birth control ever made you feel off — like you weren’t fully you anymore? You weren’t imagining it. Here’s what no one told you: When the pill shuts down ovulation, it shuts down progesterone — the hormone that calms your brain, helps you sleep, and makes you feel like yourself. So if you felt anxious, numb, disconnected, or flat? That wasn’t a flaw. That was your body reacting to hormone suppression. Let’s stop calling that “crazy.” And start calling it what it is: a real physiological response. 🎙️ I break it all down in this week’s podcast episode — plus I’m dropping my free hormone testing guide 👇 📩 Comment “CYCLE” and I’ll DM you the link. #RootCauseRx #HormoneHealth #BirthControlTruth #FunctionalMedicine #AnxietySupport WomensHealthMatters CycleAwareness NaturalHormones PostPillRecovery HormoneHealing FatigueFix MoodSupport WomensWellness DrNateFulton HealthReels ExplorePage ViralReels HormoneBalance PodcastClip FeelLikeYourselfAgain MedicalGaslighting

They told you it would regulate your cycle… But no one explained what it was actually doing. And that’s where the confusion — and the symptoms — start. You weren’t broken before the pill. And you’re not broken now. Your body is just trying to remember how to function — without the override. 📉 Your period vanishes. 😵‍💫 Your mood tanks. 🔥 Your skin flares. 💤 Your libido crashes. You start thinking, “Why is my body freaking out?” But this isn’t dysfunction. This is recalibration. 🧠 This week on the Root Cause Rx Podcast, I break down: • What the pill actually shuts down • Why that “period” you get isn’t a real one • What’s really happening post-pill (and why it feels so rough) • How to rebuild after coming off 👇 Want my hormone timing guide + the podcast episode?

🚨 NEW EPISODE IS LIVE 🎙 “The Truth About Birth Control — What No One Ever Told You” You were told it would “regulate” your cycle. But no one said it would replace it.

This episode breaks down what you should’ve been told from the start: ❌ Why the “period” on the pill isn’t a real period 💊 What birth control really shuts down 🧠 Why post-pill symptoms are not in your head 🔁 How to actually rebuild your hormones after the pill 🧾 What real informed consent should look like You’re not broken.
