Essential takeaways:
- Stress is becoming far more prevalent and accepted in today’s world and an increasing number of individuals could be classified as chronically stressed.
- Exposure to a stressor creates immediate biological responses, including stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, which releases cortisol to enhance functions critical to survival and slow down those that aren't necessary.
- We have become over exposed to cortisol, which is negatively affecting our health and resulting in metabolic disorders, poor sleep quality, digestive issues, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
- Creating a functional lifestyle means tailoring your ecosystem to mitigate stress and promote healing.
