In this episode of Heart of the Matter, Marcus and his co-host unpack the hidden ways chronic stress infiltrates our bodies, minds, and daily lives — and why it’s far more than just a mental health issue. From the biological cascade of cortisol and inflammation to the overlooked symptoms like fatigue, bloating, and emotional numbness, they explore how modern life keeps us “wired and tired.” You’ll learn how wearable data like heart rate variability (HRV) can reveal early signs of overload, and discover simple, powerful tools to calm your nervous system — including breathwork, boundaries, nature, and emotional release. Whether you’re burned out or just running on autopilot, this episode will help you reclaim your health, one breath at a time. Supported by Preventa AI — learn more at Preventa.co.
