Stress affects everyone differently.

In Episode 12 of Get Healthy and Stay Healthy NATURALLY, Dr. Howard Pallay focuses on one of the most common influences on health: stress.

Drawing on 50 years of experience in natural health and Functional Nutrition, Dr. Howard explains the difference between acute physical stress, chronic physical stress, and emotional or psychological stress. He also shares his view that stress often acts as an amplifier—making existing health problems feel worse or appear sooner.

In this episode, you'll learn:

•  The difference between acute and chronic physical stress 
•  How emotional and psychological stress can affect health 
•  Why the same stressful event can affect different people in very different ways 
•  Why stress may worsen underlying problems rather than acting as one single condition 
•  How hobbies and meaningful activities can help shift attention away from stress 
•  Why constant phone use and screen time may add to stress instead of reducing it 
•  Dr. Howard's technique for mentally putting painful memories “in the back drawer” 
•  The difference between preparation and worrying 
•  Why happiness and health are closely connected 
•  The value of laughter, outdoor activity, walking, hobbies, relationships, and fresh air 

Dr. Howard's message is simple: stress may not always be avoidable, but we can become healthier, stronger, and better prepared to deal with it.
