Our physical and emotional health are so interrelated, also known as the mind-body connection. Our biochemistry and biology affect our mood and emotions, as well as our own internal thoughts and mindset. When you combine all of these factors, it plays a major role in influencing our stress, fatigue, and physical health. In this episode, Dr. Christine Schaffner talks with Alex Howard about the importance of the mind-body connection, the 3 stages of recovery, and the maladaptive stress response. They also discuss Alex’s new book, Decode Your Fatigue.
