From Burnout to Breakthrough: How High Performers Beat Stress and Fatigue

You're exhausted. Not just tired—completely drained.

You wake up already behind. Your calendar is a nightmare. Every meeting feels like another weight on your chest. You're drinking coffee like it's water and wondering when you became one of those people who "live for the weekend."

Here's the thing: while you're grinding yourself into dust, there's a group of executives, doctors, and high-achievers who figured out how to handle massive stress without falling apart.

They're not superhuman. They just understand something you don't.

The Real Problem With Burnout

Burnout isn't about working too hard. It's about your body's inability to recover from the constant stress you're putting it through.

Every stressful day creates cellular damage. Every late night compounds it. Every skipped meal and rushed deadline adds to the pile. Eventually, your body can't keep up with the repair work.

That's when you hit the wall.

Most people try to solve this with more willpower, better time management, or meditation apps. These might help for a week or two, but they don't address the biological reality of what stress does to your body.

Brilliant high performers take a different approach. They use peptides to fix the damage at the cellular level.

Selank: Mental Clarity Under Pressure

Dose: 100-300mcg daily via subcutaneous injection

Selank isn't a magic solution, but it's remarkably effective.

This peptide works on your brain's stress response system. Instead of feeling overwhelmed when things get chaotic, you stay calm and focused, and your thinking becomes clearer during high-pressure situations.

Surgeons commonly use 200mcg every morning before complex operations. Users report it's the difference between feeling anxious about a complex case and feeling confident they can handle whatever comes up.

The effect is subtle but powerful. You don't feel altered—you feel like the best version of yourself under stress.

Reconstitute with WFI (Water for Injection) and inject subcutaneously. Most people do it first thing in the morning; it takes 30 seconds.

BPC-157: Recovery at the Cellular Level

Dose: 400-1,000mcg daily via subcutaneous injection

If Selank handles the mental side, BPC-157 fixes the physical damage stress causes.

This peptide accelerates your body's natural healing processes. It repairs tissue damage, reduces inflammation, and helps your gut recover from the poor diet stress forces you into.

CEOs using BPC-157 report significantly improved immune function. One case study showed someone constantly picking up office bugs completely eliminated illness after starting 500mcg daily. Energy levels increased dramatically over a two-year period.

BPC-157 doesn't just make you feel better in the moment. It actually repairs the accumulated damage from months or years of chronic stress.

Single daily injection, subcutaneous. Most effective on an empty stomach.

Sermorelin: Natural Energy Without the Crash

Dose: 300mcg daily via subcutaneous injection

Forget energy drinks and excessive caffeine. Sermorelin gives you sustained energy by optimising your natural growth hormone production.

Unlike stimulants that give you a spike followed by a crash, Sermorelin provides steady energy throughout the day. You wake up refreshed, stay alert during long meetings, and don't hit that 3 PM wall.

Lawyers who work 16-hour days during intensive trial periods commonly use this protocol. Users report it's the only compound that maintains focus from morning to night without feeling wired or jittery.

Best administered in the morning to work with your natural circadian rhythm.

The Supporting Cast

Ipamorelin: Gentle Growth Hormone Support

Dose: 200-300mcg daily

It works synergistically with Sermorelin to optimise growth hormone production. It provides additional energy and recovery benefits without any harsh effects.

TB-500: Physical Recovery

Dose: 300-1,000mcg daily

Excellent for the physical toll of stress—tight shoulders, back pain from sitting at desks, and general muscle tension. Supports tissue health and flexibility.

GHK-Cu: Cellular Renewal

Dose: 1-2mg daily for 6-week cycles

The anti-aging peptide that works at the cellular level. Supports your body's natural repair processes and helps reverse some of the visible signs of chronic stress.

The Reality Check

Peptides aren't magic. They won't fix a fundamentally broken lifestyle or eliminate stress from your life.

They give your body the tools to handle stress more effectively and recover faster from high-pressure periods.

Think of it this way: you're already pushing your body hard. Peptides ensure it can keep up with your demands.

How to Start

Most people overcomplicate this. Start simple:

Week 1-4: BPC-157 (500mcg) and Selank (200mcg) daily

Week 5-8: Add Sermorelin (300mcg) to the morning routine

Week 9+: Consider adding Ipamorelin and TB-500 based on your specific needs

All peptides come as lyophilised powder in vials from Fragment. Reconstitute with WFI, store properly, and inject subcutaneously.

Takes 5 minutes of your day, maximum.

What to Expect

Don't expect overnight transformation. Peptides work gradually by supporting your body's natural processes.

Week 1-2: Better sleep quality, slight improvement in stress response

Week 3-4: Noticeable increase in energy, faster recovery from tough days

Week 6-8: Significant improvement in how you handle pressure, better physical resilience

Week 12+: Operating at a level you didn't think was possible

The Bottom Line

You have two choices. Keep grinding until you burn out completely, or start supporting your body at the level your demands require.

The executives who thrive under pressure aren't tougher than you. They just use better tools.

Fragment's peptides are research-grade and shipped fresh as lyophilised powders. High performers across Australia use the same quality to stay sharp under pressure.

Stop trying to outwork your biology. Start working with it instead. When your success depends on consistent peak performance, explore Fragment's complete peptide range and discover the protocols that can transform your stress response from breakdown to breakthrough.
