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 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.
