You’re not crying. You’re not screaming. You’re not in bed all day.
But something’s off.
You’re zoning out mid-conversation.
You keep losing words, forgetting what you were doing.
Loud sounds feel like an attack.
Food isn’t digesting right.
You’re snapping at people you love — or you feel numb altogether.
This isn’t “just stress.” This is a nervous system collapse in motion — one of the most overlooked forms of burnout, especially among high-functioning women and caregivers.
At Joy & Vitality Centre, we call this Invisible Collapse. You still show up. You still smile. But inside, your system is trying to hold too much.
What’s actually happening? Your parasympathetic system is stuck. Your vagus nerve isn’t activating properly. Your adrenals are depleted, and your body is trying to compensate with cortisol spikes and shutdown cycles.
Over time, this can turn into:
– thyroid dysfunction
– extreme fatigue
– IBS and gut inflammation
– sleep crashes
– emotional disconnection
But here’s the good news: Your body wants to come back.
We use a combination of:
Functional nutrition + nervous system powders
…to bring your body back online — safely and gently.
If you’re in Calgary and you feel like no one gets it — come see us. We see the invisible collapse. And we know how to work with it.
