The anxiety-body connection: what chronic worry does to your health
Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down the concrete biological mechanisms of chronic worry—from HPA axis activation and elevated cortisol to gut-brain disruption and cardiovascular strain—and explain why understanding these pathways matters more than vague stress-reduction advice. They walk through research-backed interventions like physiological sighing, affect labeling, and expressive writing that can measurably interrupt anxiety cycles in as little as five minutes a day. The episode is designed for busy people living with baseline worry who want to know not just that stress is bad, but exactly what's happening in their bodies and how to actually change it.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
