Women at Halftime Podcast

Stress is often called the “silent killer” and can have serious consequences if not managed. It can also greatly affect quality of life. Today we speak with Dr. Gala Gorman, a licensed Acupuncturist, Naturopath, and Author who offers practical advice and programs to reverse health issues resulting from chronic stress. We cover common sources and mistakes many make in dealing with stress and what she terms “Kryptonite.”

Many suppress symptoms of stress and start down the road of pain relievers, antacids and even food. This only disguises the pain. Dr. Gala says that stress mostly shows up in adrenal glands and gives some easy ways to manage toxic stressors that can be implemented with daily habits.
