Episode 144: Stress — The Silent Killer (And What You Can Do About It) Guest: Dr Bernadette Dancy, PhD in Sports Psychology, Exercise Scientist & Founder of Stress Ed


Listen Later

We all talk about being “stressed,” but few understand what that really means — or how serious it can be for our health.

In this episode, Matt speaks with Dr Bernadette Dancy, an exercise scientist with 15 years of university lecturing experience, a PhD in Sports Psychology, a master’s in Preventative Cardiology, and a professional background in personal training and exercise referral. After witnessing the damage chronic stress can do — including in her own life — Bernadette made it her mission to help people manage this silent killer.

She now leads Stress Ed, a platform connecting people with the right tools, experts, and education to take back control of their mental and physical wellbeing.

In this conversation, they explore:

  • Bernadette’s personal story of stress and burnout — and how it changed her life
  • What stress really is — and what happens inside your body when it builds
  • The key drivers of chronic stress in modern life
  • Why exercise is powerful — but only when the dose is right
  • The “Four B’s” — Bernadette’s simple but powerful blueprint for managing stress
  • Practical, science-backed tools you can use today to reduce overwhelm

If you’re feeling stretched thin, running on empty, or watching stress affect those around you, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and direction — from someone who’s been there and now helps others every day.
