from Finding Food & Fitness Freedom: An Empowered RX Podcast · host Empowered RX

If you exercise regularly, think carefully about food, and genuinely care about your health, this episode is for you.Here we break down why habits that are "healthy" can start to feel stressful, effortful or detrimental over time. Leah walks through what is happening inside the nervous system, with stress hormones and the body's energy regulation when demand stays high and rest/recovery falls behind.You'll learn how sympathetic dominance develops and why rest can feel uncomfortable, how cortisol quietly takes over, and why food noise increases! If you have ever felt like your body requires constant management to function, this episode will help you understand why, and what changes when we give our selves conditions that heal instead of detract.
