169. Crush Your Stress for Good: Discover the Expert Tips from Dr. Samantha Brody on Overcoming Overwhelm from the Inside Out


Listen Later

Overwhelm affects us on all levels. It is both the cause of and result of stress. When overwhelm manifests physically, as stress, it plays a role in many of the diseases that plague our culture.

Over the last two decades in Dr. Samantha Brody's integrative medical practice, she's found that most, if not all, symptoms of compromised health are related, in one way or another, to stress and overwhelm.

In this encore episode, we talk with Dr. Brody, author of "Overcoming Overwhelm: Dismantle Your Stress From the Inside Out" about why overwhelm is an invisible stressor on your physical and mental health and what you can do to change it.

Dr. Brody is a licensed naturopathic physician and acupuncturist, founder of Evergreen Natural Health Center in Portland, Oregon. Key Takeaways:

  • Overwhelm can manifest in many different ways, including physical symptoms such as headaches and fatigue, as well as emotional symptoms like anxiety and depression.
  • Lowering the load in areas where you have control can help alleviate overwhelm, even if it's not in the areas that feel overwhelming at first.
  • Identifying core values and true north can help prioritize which stresses to address first.
  • Taking baby steps and tackling one thing at a time can help with feeling accomplished, taking control, and making clearer choices.
  • Overcoming overwhelm involves dismantling the various stresses in one's life and making choices that align with core values to avoid feeling overwhelmed by too many things that don't truly matter.
