Stress is not something that can be avoided, it’s just a fact of modern life.

In fact, we all need a certain amount of stress to function normally.

We’ve evolved as humans to handle stress; we have built-in mechanisms that kick into gear to help us deal with stressful situations very effectively.

But too much stress, or the wrong kind of stress, can have serious health consequences.

Stress can make us sick, stress can lead to a host of chronic diseases, and stress can make us fat.

In this episode, I’ll be taking a look at stress from several different angles, I’ll explain how stress is making us fat, and I’ll provide some options for how you can reduce stress in your life.
