Summary

We are all bombarded by stress throughout our daily lives and it comes in many different forms, but how do we actually know what impact that stress is having on our bodies? One of the key messages from today’s conversation is a reminder of how unique we all are. My guest on this week’s episode is nutritionist and researcher, Alessandro Ferretti, who has spent years researching the effects of various stressors on the body by meticulously monitoring the heart rate variability (HRV) and blood sugar levels of both his clients and himself. He shares the fascinating findings of his research and explains that what causes stress on our bodies can be different for different individuals - one man’s medicine really can be another man’s poison - and the way we perceive an event is key. We also discuss the effect of shift work on our bodies, how type 2 diabetes is not just a dietary problem, how the wrong timing of meals can act as a significant stressor on the body and the impact of caffeine and insufficient sleep. Finally, he gives some brilliant tips for optimising your health. This is a really informative conversation – I hope you enjoy it!

0:07.8	sympathetic state because most of the time we think the stress is something but in my experience
0:12.8	is their perception of what they're doing that is way more important than what they're doing
0:20.6	as per itself. Hi my name is Rongan Chasji GP television presensor and author of the best
0:28.3	selling books the stress solution and the full pillar plan. I believe that all of us have the
0:33.3	ability to feel better than we currently do but getting healthy has become far too complicated.

1:36.0	different topics but one of the key messages is a reminder about how unique we all are.
1:42.0	How different stresses in life can affect different people in different ways. How the same
1:47.4	life situation can serve as a stressor to one individual but be entirely relaxing to another.

1:59.2	We also talk about something called HRV or heart rate variability. Now if you have read my most
