Dr. Jess Peatross is a visionary for the future of healthcare. Her philosophy embraces true health that encompasses the whole patient – mind, body, and spirit. Now she is committed to sharing her knowledge that our bodies are meant to heal naturally. In fact, 90% of disease is a result of lifestyle, diet, and environment. Address those elements, and you have a greater chance to heal and reverse chronic disease.

In this episode, we dive into the science behind stress, specifically the "fight or flight" response, and how it can contribute to unexpected weight gain. From increased cortisol levels to stress-induced cravings, your body’s survival mechanisms might be sabotaging your efforts to stay fit. Tune in as we break down the physiological effects of stress, explore how it messes with your metabolism, and offer practical tips to manage it before it impacts your health. Don't miss this eye-opening discussion on why stress isn’t just bad for your mind—it's also bad for your waistline!
