Description
If the past 1.5 years have had a dynamic impact on your day to day stress, you’re not alone! We know that chronic, unresolved stress can drive serious bodily damage and we now know that it can impact us to the level of our genetic expression. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss the imprint of stress on neuroendocrine, cardiovascular and emotional response and how you can stop stress in its tracks using diet, lifestyle and supplement interventions.
In this episode, Ali and Becki unpack common symptoms of HPA-axis imbalance and adrenal dysfunction, from digestive distress to elevated blood sugar and difficulty achieving ketosis to chronic inflammation and beyond. Beyond driving chronic disease expression, stress can halt fertility, hinder weight loss, and even drive increased susceptibility to illness via its impact on the immune system. Learn how to harness your body’s stress response using yummy food as medicine interventions like our Maca Walnut Caramels and Sweet Potato Avocado Toast, how supplementation can ebb and flow based on current stressors and why you may want to reconsider your morning coffee!
