0:06.5	show.com. Welcome to the model health show. This is fitness and nutrition expert, Sean Stevenson,
0:13.9	and I'm so grateful for you tuning in with me today. What do we do when stress is whooping our ace? What do we do to bounce back, to be more
0:27.3	resilient in the face of stress, to handle the stressers that life is constantly throwing at us?
