FIND YOUR FLOW with Lisa Roche
Burnout, ADHD & Chronic Illness: Why Your Body Is Not Broken | Dr. Jess Armine
What if anxiety, burnout, chronic fatigue, ADHD, chronic illness, and even depression aren’t signs that you’re broken—but messages from a body trying to get your attention? In this powerful conversation, Lisa sits down with functional medicine practitioner Dr. Jess Armine, whose nearly 50 years of clinical experience have helped thousands of people uncover the biological root causes behind symptoms often dismissed as psychological or simply “part of getting older.” Together, they explore: Why burnout is more than a mindset issue—and what it actually does to the body The connection between chronic stress, inflammation, hormones, and nervous system dysregulation Why anxiety and depression can be signals rather than diagnoses The hidden relationship between gut health and mental health Neurodiversity, ADHD, and why some children are simply wired differently—not deficient How living according to other people’s expectations disconnects us from ourselves Lisa’s remarkable recovery from a debilitating neurological condition after being told there was no hope for improvement Why curiosity may be one of the most powerful healing tools we have The simple but life-changing truth: You are not broken. This conversation is an invitation to question what you’ve been told about your symptoms, your limitations, and your future. Whether you’re navigating burnout, chronic illness, neurodiversity, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, Dr. Jess offers a perspective grounded in hope, physiology, and the possibility that healing may still be available. Because sometimes the most important shift isn’t finding the answer. It’s deciding that your story isn’t over yet.
