Listen Later

Did you know that chronic stress can impact your hormones, lead to cravings, and even make weight loss harder? 😨 Many moms don’t realize the huge role that stress plays in metabolism, digestion, and overall health. In this episode, I’m diving into why stress management is just as important as diet and exercise—and simple strategies to help you navigate stressful seasons (like the holidays!) without feeling like you're spiraling.

Here's a sneak peek:

[1:30] Understanding how our hormones work when stressed

[2:55] Long term effects of stress can impact other things

[5:25] Reaching your healthiest weight

[7:20] How to cope with stress throughout the day

[9:40] Chronic stress can raise blood pressure and cholesterol, learning how to manage it

Mama, stress is more than just feeling overwhelmed—it impacts every aspect of your health, from cravings to metabolism to sleep. The good news? There are small, simple shifts you can make that will help you feel more in control of your health, especially during the holiday season. Take a deep breath—you got this! 💛
