This Is What Chronic Stress Actually Does

Most of us know that stress is bad for us. But very few people understand what it's actually doing inside the body — and why it's so hard to shake once it takes hold.In this episode we break down the science of stress in plain language. We explore what stress actually is, why your body was only designed to be afraid of two things at birth, and how everything else became a learned fear response that keeps your nervous system stuck in survival mode.We also break down the difference between fight or flight and rest and digest, why chronic stress essentially shuts down your immune system, digestion and ability to thrive, and how the body's stress algorithm works — and why it keeps reinforcing itself the longer it goes unchecked.Most importantly we explore what actually interrupts that cycle, how the mind and body communicate through chemical messengers, and why getting back to your factory setting is not only possible but is what you were designed to do.Send us a text message.
