0:11
everybody feels stress
0:12

0:15
imbalances
0:16

goes on and on
0:32
stress is the worst um
0:36
you know and we there's a lot of
0:37
techniques that we can use to
0:39
to reduce the stress in our lives but
0:43
first of all i think you need to know a
0:45
little bit about the nervous system
0:47
there's there's two parts that really
0:49
play in
0:50
to the stress response you've got the
0:53
fight or flight
0:54
which is the sympathetic nervous system
0:56
i put it up here because you know you're
0:58
on alert
0:59
and you know that's where you're going
1:00
to fight or you're going to flee
1:02
but your body is like on alert for
1:05
something that's going to go wrong all
1:06
the time and
1:07
you know your calendar is going off and
1:09
you got this to do that to do and you
1:10
got this to think about not to think
1:12
about you gotta you know this problem
1:13
with this person and this problem with
1:14
that person
1:15
you know that's the fight or flight
1:18
don't want to be there too much
1:19
our body's designed to be there a little
1:21
bit not much we're
1:22
really supposed to be in the resting and
1:25
digesting
1:26
phase the most that's where hormones
1:28
balance and that's where
1:30
your gut heals and that's where you grow
1:33
and repair and you
1:34
get nice hair and your skin heals
1:37
we want to be down there more than up
1:40
here
1:40
okay different ways to do that i love
1:43
some of the herbs
1:44
ashwagandha take it every day love it
1:46
reduces cortisol a lot
1:48
you've got valerian you've got passion
1:50
flower you've got magnesium the mineral
1:52
magnesium is very relaxing and very
1:54
good magnesium glycinate is the one that
1:56
most most people do best with
1:58
um you know you've you've got a lot of
2:01
things in the supplement world that will
2:03
help but i like
2:05
things that you can just pull out of
2:08
your little bag of tricks forest bathing
2:11
which
2:12
no you're not taking a bath outside
2:14
naked it's actually going for a walk in
2:16
the woods
2:17
uh another thing meditation meditation
2:21
is you know some people call it one way
2:25
prayer but meditation can just be
2:28
thinking one thought happiness
2:31
joy it it can be one sound
2:35
um i love breathing
2:38
breathing can be a type of meditation
2:40
where you just breathe in
2:43
and breathe out a lot of different
2:47
techniques there
2:48
that you'll learn about as we go through
2:50
but breathing
2:51
is phenomenal and the exhale twice as
2:54
long as the inhale
2:55
is is really the key there yoga
2:58
all these things very very important to
3:00
have these little tools that you can do
3:03
all the time so that we can get out of
3:05
the fight and flight
3:07
and back in the resting and digesting so
3:09
we can heal
3:10
the pcos so we can feel and look our
3:14
best
3:15
throughout this life so there's the
3:17
