Chronic people-pleasing isn’t just an emotional habit — it can become a biological burden. When someone constantly suppresses their needs, avoids conflict, and lives to satisfy others, the body enters a long-term stress response. This keeps cortisol elevated, disrupts hormone balance, and weakens immune regulation.

Psychoneuroimmunology research shows that emotional suppression activates the same pathways involved in chronic inflammation. Over time, this confusion in the immune system can increase the risk of autoimmune reactions — where the body mistakenly attacks its own cells.

What looks like “being nice” on the outside can quietly drain mental energy, overload the nervous system, and create physical consequences inside the body.
Protecting your health starts with boundaries — not burnout.

METHYLFOLATE (5-MTHF) is the bioactive-methylated form of vitamin B9 (i.e. Folic Acid). Around 50% of the population can't adequately convert B9 > methylfolate due to defective genes. Methylfolate is essential in the production of neurotransmitters such as dopamine & serotonin! People with the MTHFR gene are therefore VERY likely to get:
Anxiety
Depression
ADHD symptoms
Addictions
Panic attacks
Restless minds
IF you suffer with these, try supplementing with methylfolate, it might be a very important change. Therapeutic doses start at 1mg and can be up to 15 mg. Start low and build up 👍
