ASK ME ANYTHING | Burnt Out Carer? How to Restore Energy: Gentle Qi Gong, Acupressure and Food Medicine for Deep Exhaustion

Caring for someone you love can hold so much devotion, and at the same time, so much quiet exhaustion. When your own body is already under pressure, the weight can feel overwhelming.


In this episode, Jo responds to a deeply moving listener question from someone navigating chronic pain, nervous system sensitivity, and full time caregiving for a parent with complex health needs.


Drawing on Chinese Medicine, she shares how burnout is not a failure, but a sign that the body’s energy has been giving for too long without enough replenishment.


You will learn:

• Why long term caregiving can deplete Liver flow and Kidney reserves

• How tension, pain, and fatigue reflect energy that has become stuck or drained

• How to use Gall Bladder 34 acupressure to soften tendons and restore movement

• Why consistency matters more than intensity in healing practices

• How bone broth supports nerves, joints, and deep energy reserves

• Why warm, simple foods are essential when the body is under stress

• How gentle arm swinging Qi Gong helps circulation, calm, and nervous system reset

• When to seek support from your GP for changing or worsening symptoms


This episode is especially supportive for carers who feel physically depleted, emotionally stretched, or quietly overwhelmed.


These practices are simple, steady, and designed to meet you exactly where you are.


You are not meant to carry everything alone. With small daily support, the body can begin to soften, restore, and feel held again.
