Most people think their anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, or racing thoughts after a long desk day are “mental.” In reality, your body is simply missing the movement required to complete the stress cycle. Stress hormones that should have been burned off through natural movement get trapped in the system, creating nervous system dysregulation, anxiety, restlessness, irritability, and panic sensations.

In this episode, you’ll learn why sitting doesn’t create stress — it just prevents your body from releasing it. You’ll also hear the powerful example of the gazelle on the African savanna, a perfect illustration of how stress is supposed to move through the body. Humans share that same biological design. When we sit all day, we break that cycle.

You’ll also discover:
 • Why modern desk work keeps stress hormones elevated
 • Why physical labor often feels emotionally easier than mental work
 • How sedentary stress builds up and reduces stress resilience
 • How nervous system dysregulation develops without you realizing it
 • Why even mild stress feels overwhelming when your body can’t move
 • How simple movement breaks throughout the day can completely reset your internal state
 • The biology behind why movement signals safety, calm, and capability to the brain
 • What you can do starting TODAY to restore balance and prevent chronic stress buildup

This episode is essential for anyone dealing with anxiety, panic, overwhelm, burnout, dysautonomia, stress intolerance, or nervous system fatigue — especially if you sit for long periods or work behind a screen.

Your body was built to move through stress, not sit in it. When you understand this, everything about your stress, your energy, and your emotional resilience starts to make sense.
