Episode #341: Chronic Stress Impacts the WHOLE you from the inside out - a podcast by Debbie Potts

Coach Debbie Potts here... today is another bonus episode to talk about how we need to take care of the WHOLE self in order to reduce accumulations of chronic stress.  

Stress is on... Immune System is off.

Where is our immune system?  

80% in our gut.

How do we improve our immune system?

Reduce CHRONIC Stressors.

What causes CHRONIC stress?

Right now we have lots of stressors in our world including fear of the unknown, financial stress and loss of schedule or life.

We can choose to take ownership of our health and wellness but taking this opportunity to slow down, reset and reboot.

• This is the time to start being fat adapted.
• This is the time to be in nutritional ketosis.
• This is the time to do intermittent fasting.
• This is the time to get outside for light activity and exercise.

Take this opportunity to do stuff you have not been able to find time to do as myself- yoga, cold morning walks outside, daily use of my Sunlighten infrared (FRED), home circuit training with exercises I haven't done for a while at the gym plus more time outside in the afternoon when the sun is shining above.  

Mixing up our routine is beneficial- good for the brain and muscle confusion!  

Take care of the WHOLE you by reducing sources of CHRONIC stressors that you CAN control as nutrition, slowing down, stop multi-tasking, breathing, nature walks, reduce environmental and reduce blue light exposure.  

Let me know if you want to investigate "under the hood" to find out your HIDDEN internal stressors that are contributing to your "beaker of stress" overload and leading to a domino effect of internal breakdown and burnout at a cellular level.  

You don't know about these HIDDEN internal sources on CHRONIC Stress unless you run functional lab testing and look at the WHOLE picture - instead of treating lab results, symptoms and anything specific.

I have been there...the struggle is real.
