Summary

You can make great strides in your overall health goals with diet and exercise alone, but let’s be clear: that’s far from the full picture. True health encompasses a multitude of aspects, including mindset, sleep hygiene, mental health, and stress management. Stress plays a huge role in our daily lives, and an overload of stress can have devastating implications on your health. An overactive stress response system can negatively impact your body composition, mental and emotional well-being, and can contribute to the development of a wide variety of health conditions. And while stress is a natural and normal human response, the key is to experience stress in the appropriate amount. Today’s guest, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is here to share how to understand and manage your stress threshold. You’re going to learn practical, actionable (and free!) strategies that you can apply to lower your overall stress burden, and how managing your stress can improve your health, mindset, and relationships. No matter what your current stressors are, this episode will provide you with applicable takeaways to live a calmer, healthier life. In this episode you’ll discover: How an overactive stress response system can make you gain weight. What gluconeogenesis is. How stress can affect your blood sugar. The main purpose of the body’s stress response system. What Micro Stress Doses are, and how to become aware of your threshold. The two different types of stress that we encounter. Why your brain needs downtime. The power of having a tech-free lunch break. How to improve your health for free. The implications of being more mindful about technology. What the Japanese concept of Ikigai is, and how it can help you be more fulfilled. How a passion deficiency can mimic depression. Why doing something you love is important for your health. Practical ways to reframe the negative experiences in your life. How a gratitude practice can improve your sleep quality. What a 3D touch is, and how it can help you connect.
