Listen Later

EP405: Today's guest is Dr. Gala Gorman, a licensed Acupuncturist, Naturopath, and Author who offers practical advice and programs to reverse health issues resulting from chronic stress. In this episode, we dive deep into the often-overlooked impact of stress on our health, through Dr. Gala’s personal journey and professional insights to shed light on this critical issue.

Dr. Gala draws a fascinating parallel between stress and Superman's kryptonite, highlighting how this silent force can have potent effects on our well-being. Rather than trying to eliminate stress, which is an impossible task, she encourages us to master it. 

In this episode, we talked about:

  • The impact of unmanaged chronic stress that can lead to serious health issues like adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalances.
  • The different types of stresses and the body's natural mechanisms for handling stress.
  • The invisible but dangerous environmental factors that contribute to stress.
  • "What's Your Kryptonite?" her latest book that provides tips to help people learn how to identify and manage the toxic stress in their lives.
  • Dr. Gala explains how our bodies are equipped to handle short-term stress but warns about the serious health risks of prolonged stress exposure. One of the most powerful takeaways from this episode is the importance of listening to our bodies.

    This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice that can help us all lead healthier, more balanced lives so listen now!
