Do occasional stress and anxiety sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and unable to keep up with life’s relentless demands? You could be experiencing what many people refer to as “burnout.”
Today’s “hustle culture” has significantly increased the number of people feeling used up and empty. In a survey of 1,500 American workers, more than half said they were feeling burned out. Even though the official definition of burnout is that it is not a medical condition, and applies only to people in the workforce, in real life it can affect anyone—from parents and caregivers to those dealing with loss, relationship issues, or financial problems.

Burnout can feel like this:
- Occasional stress, anxiety, nervousness, worry
- A decreased sense of accomplishment
- Feelings of cynicism, irritability, and emotional distance toward others
- Lack of enthusiasm
- Reduced performance
- Lack of quality sleep
- Thinking nothing you do makes a difference
Helpful Adaptogenic Herbs
So what’s a human being living in the 21st century to do? Adaptogenic herbs can help! Two of the most effective adaptogens are ashwagandha and rhodiola.
Ashwagandha improves the body’s resistance to occasional stress thanks to special plant chemicals known as withanolides. These withanolides serve as important hormone precursors that morph into usable human hormones like cortisol when needed. Because of this ability, ashwagandha modulates how hormones function during times of occasional stress, helping to keep the body in balance.* But for optimal benefits, it’s important to search out a supplement standardized to contain 5 percent withanolides.
Rhodiola is another adaptogen that has been shown to relieve occasional anxiety and support healthy energy levels. In fact, a single dose of rhodiola extract—taken prior to a stressful event—has been shown in clinical studies to reduce stress-induced disruptions in performance. But rhodiola has also shown positive results with long-term use, which is beneficial for those suffering from occasional stress and burnout. Research also shows that rhodiola supports the immune system, enabling the body’s own defenses to resist the effects of occasional stress.* To get all that rhodiola has to offer, however, it’s important to choose a supplement standardized to contain at least 3 percent rosavins and 1 percent salidroside.
