How Stress Physically Changes Your Body (Mind-Body Connection Explained)
Stress isn’t just in your head—it’s a full-body experience that silently impacts your health every single day.
In this episode, I break down exactly what’s happening inside your body when you're stressed—from your brain and heart to your gut, skin, and immune system. Ever had your heart race during a deadline or stomach cramps before a big meeting? That’s your body reacting to stress. And if it’s constant? It can lead to real, lasting damage.
We’ll explore how chronic stress affects:✅ Brain health (memory, focus, decision-making)
✅ Heart rate and blood pressure
✅ Gut and digestion (hello, IBS and nausea)
✅ Hormones and fertility
✅ Immune response and inflammation
✅ Skin conditions like acne, eczema, and more
But it’s not all bad news—there are real, simple steps you can take to calm your nervous system and support your health. Let’s get you feeling better, starting today.
