If you’ve been focusing on gut or thyroid health but haven’t given much thought to stress, this is worth checking out.

Based on personal experiences and clinical patterns I’ve seen, chronic stress plays a bigger role than people realize. It’s not about eliminating stress completely— (because that’s not always realistic), but understanding how it might be affecting your body and what you can do to better support your system. I also share a few simple, practical ideas that might help, especially if things feel a bit stuck.

If progress feels slow despite your best efforts, I really encourage you to give this one a listen. It could shift the way you think about your healing path.
