Ep. 20 | The Science of Stress: 5 Ways to Break the Cycle
“Stress is not what happens to you but what happens within you. It’s a physiological reaction inside of your body caused by a stimulus or stressor that’s outside of you.”
Is your heightened stress leaving you chronically tired and anxious? If so, you aren’t alone in this—the epidemic of stress has increased significantly in the past year. To aid you in healing your fatigue, Dr. Avanti is unpacking how you can lower your stress response by healing your HPA axis (aka the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis that controls our stress response). By the end, you’ll know 5 simple, proven ways to begin regulating your stress hormones to optimize your health!
