Debbie Potts health and fitness coach, nutritional therapist and author of ‘Life is Not a Race’ and ‘The Wholestic Method Manual’ joins Angela to talk about her own journey from high performing athlete, in the best shape of her life, to an individual with chronic stress and how taking ownership, slowing things down and learning to both manage stress and understand the stressors have all played a part in moving forward.
They discuss the power of tracking and reviewing data so you know exactly what is impacting you and how to make the changes that improve both health and longevity
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

It doesn’t matter what you do everyone has different stressors and these accumulate over time.
Both internal and external stressors accumulate until it becomes chronic stress
With the goldilocks affect too much of anything, whatever it is doesn’t help and too little of anything is also a negative
Metabolic dysfunction affects every area of your life and if you have metabolic disfunction you can’t achieve your true potential in life
A disrupted metabolic function can cause weight gain, fatigue and a feeling of loss of identity
Knowing what your HRV makes a huge difference in understanding what makes the difference
It’s empowering when you understand the data
Many of the chronic conditions seen currently are connected to mitochondrial health
Learning how to manage your own stress and recognise the red flags and stressors for you is key
If you don’t track and review the data you don’t know what the impact is and the recovery that needed for your body
It’s a genetic thing that some people are more susceptible to stress than others
Understanding the data gives you something tangible to work with

  
BEST MOMENTS
‘I went from being in the best shape of my life to gaining 30 pounds and having an afternoon nap instead of a workout’
