Why so many high-functioning women feel exhausted even when they're doing everything right.
About this Event

After Hours Wellness Talk at the Jewelry Studio
$5 ticket — bring a friend with you for free! Space limited to 20 seats.

Many high-functioning women feel like they’re doing everything right.

They eat well.
They exercise.
They push through busy schedules and full lives.

And yet…

Energy is inconsistent.
Sleep isn’t restorative.
Brain fog creeps in.
Weight becomes harder to manage.
Stress feels like it never fully turns off.

Often, the missing piece is how chronic stress reshapes cortisol patterns and keeps the body stuck in survival mode.

In this small, in-person talk, functional health practitioner Katie Poterala (FDN-P) will explain how stress physiology affects energy, hormones, metabolism, and resilience — and why these patterns are so often missed in conventional healthcare.

You'll learn:

• What “survival mode” actually means physiologically
• How cortisol patterns influence fatigue, sleep, and mood
• Why many standard labs fail to reveal the full picture
• Common patterns seen in high-functioning women under chronic stress
• Practical ways to begin supporting your nervous system and recovery

This is an educational talk designed to help you better understand your body and the role stress physiology may be playing in persistent symptoms.
45 minute talk followed by 15 minutes of time for questions.
Many people prefer attending events like this with a friend — so we made tickets BOGO to make it easy.
