Stress is unavoidable in our society today,

from daily traffic, to juggling kids, bombardment of screens, and the ultra processed food on our plates (not to mention our self imposed “keeping up with the Jones” and overly schedules lives) it’s no wonder Stress and Fatigue are one of the most common symptoms people see their doctor about!

It’s not about getting rid of stress- most of us can’t just quit work, or leave our kids for a weekly retreat *sigh*

YOU NEED TO KNOW how to Easily reduce your bodies Physical Stress- that IS the KEY to reducing your overall Stress Burden + Increasing your Energy for good!!

1. 😵‍💫 EMOTIONAL STRESS present & past trauma.

2. 🌱 CHRONIC LOW GRADE INFLAMMATION somewhere in the body but often in the gut.

3. 🌱 BLOOD SUGAR IMBALANCES is linked to excess unneccessary cortisol production.

4. 🌱 NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES used up rapidly in the stress response.

5. 🌱 CIRCADIUM RYTHEM DIS-REGULATION our bodies natural sleep wake cycle.

And it's these 👆🏼UNDERLYING PHYSICAL STRESSORS (we often don't know exist) that keeps us stuck in CHRONIC STRESS...

Which means our Stress “bucket” (aka capacity) is ALREADY FULL,

& once we throw in some EMOTIONAL STRESS (because hello normal life)

it OVERFLOWS... Leading to

🥱 Prolonged fatigue
🤕 Tension Headaches
😵‍💫 Irritability/ Anxiousness
🤔 Poor memory/ Focus/ Concentration
🤤 Sugar/ Salt Cravings
😴 Trouble Falling Asleep
😵 3am Wake Ups
🥺 Mid Section Weight Gain
😑 No Energy

🔬 NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES
