The Type A, Perfectionism Trap: the Invisible Stress Response & It’s Impact on Your Health featuring Dr. Lesley Allen
from Unapologetic Living with Elizabeth Elliott · host Elizabeth Elliott
Send us Fan MailIn this conversation Dr. Lesley Allen and I dig into the possible side effects of the Type A, Perfectionism Trap! The Type A overachiever is often celebrated — driven, disciplined, and endlessly productive — yet beneath that polished surface, the body may be quietly crying out for rest. Living in constant “go mode” keeps the nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, gradually wearing down your adrenals, gut, and immune function. The problem? Traditional lab markers often miss the subtle shifts that signal imbalance long before disease sets in. You can look “perfect on paper” while your body is whispering for help. That’s where root cause medicine steps in — to listen to the story beneath the symptoms, to understand the why behind the what, and to restore balance before burnout becomes breakdown. True healing begins when we stop pushing and start listening — when we allow our worth to be defined not by how much we do, but by how deeply we are.
