E283: You Might Be More Stressed Than You Think (Here’s What's Happening In Your Body)

This episode covers:
A new study from Yale showing that parental stress may be a major, often overlooked driver of childhood obesity that's impacting parenting behaviors, children’s eating habits, and weight outcomes more than nutrition advice alone.
In the veggies of the matter, we take a deep dive into what stress actually is (any demand requiring the body to adapt) and how cumulative “stress bucket” overload from emotional, physical, and environmental sources can lead to symptoms like hormone imbalances, digestive issues, fatigue, and blood sugar dysregulation. I also outline a few practical ways to manage stress by both reducing inputs and increasing resilience through sleep, nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle shifts.
