44. Your Stress Response, Part 1 (Fight or Flight)

This two-part episode covers everything you need to know about the stress response and the role stress plays in our everyday life. It is so important to realize the impact that stress has not only on your everyday decisions and the results that you're getting, but also on your physical, mental, and emotional health, presently, and in the long term.    In today’s episode, I talk about how getting accustomed to stress should not be the new normal. I cover what stress actually is and how it shows up in your body, how the flight and fight response impacts our stress response, the long term symptoms of living with stress, how being in fight mode is making you gain weight, and ways to better manage and cope with stress.    In this episode, we cover:
