: I met Pete Williams a few years ago when he spoke at a conference I was at. I was really taken with his attitudes, philosophies and ideas, and we loosely kept in touch. When Pete joined the world of social media recently, I saw my opportunity to get him on the show. Pete has a degree in exercise physiology and a Master in Medicine and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine. He is a national and international speaker and runs his clinic from Central London. In this episode we talk about functional medicine – what it is and what it means in practice. We also discuss the effects of chronic stress on the body, allostatic load, the signs and symptoms of chronic stress/burnout, and what you can do about it. We also swap ideas about what corporate leaders can do to change their culture. This is a longer show than our usual format, but it’s a good one. Enjoy, and if you have any questions, send them to me at leanne@bodyshotperformance.com and either Pete or I will get back to you.
