Welcome to the Well Fed Women podcast. This is episode number 292.

I am your host Noel Tarr of Coconut's and Kettlebells.com. I'm a nutritional therapy practitioner and a certified personal trainer.

I'm really happy you are here today because if you are listening to this in real time but maybe not even in real

time you've likely noticed that this is a pretty stressful year for most people. There's a pandemic. We're all more socially

isolated and haven't been with friends and family and people. Our kids are doing school from home. There are fires and smoke taking

over the west. There is, you know, lots of division and intolerance and that doesn't even include all the normal stress like life

stress from work and like sleep issues and grief and losing a loved one and

mental emotional stress.

So it's all a lot right now, so I want you to know that I see you.

You for one are welcome in this space and two you're doing a great job and my goal moving forward is to do

everything I can to support you and your health in 2021 when it gets here and we can all start a fresh year.

Which is why I'm really excited about this episode today,

which is going to be all about balancing stress hormones

and managing stress. So how do we

proactively manage stress on a day-to-day basis and also how can we manage stress

long-term and equip ourselves with tools when things do get

overwhelming and crazy?
