Hey Reader,

Could chronic stress be impacting your mental and physical health without you even knowing it?

The short answer is yes.

Unfortunately, chronic stress has become so normalized that most people don't even realize that they're suffering unnecessarily.

Here's what's going on:

Chronic stress happens when you have repeated exposure to stressful situations that you can't escape or process afterwards. Stress patterns then get embedded in your nervous system, and you end up in a state of constant high alert, operating in survival mode instead of showing up for life with the joy, love, and open enthusiasm you want.

But this is not normal or healthy.

Your stress response is only supposed to be activated for short bouts of time, when you're actually under threat. These are the moments that your sympathetic nervous system was made for. But once the threat is passed, your parasympathetic nervous system's rest-and-digest mode is supposed to become dominant again, because this is what allows the majority of your body's physiological functions to run smoothly.

When you live with chronic stress, however, all of your body's systems end up getting hijacked. Your blood sugar becomes unstable, your blood pressure goes up, and eventually other symptoms start to show up, too.

Here are 12 symptoms to look out for that tell you your nervous system needs extra support:

1. Insomnia (anything less than 8 hours of restful sleep/night)
2. Exhaustion (with or without insomnia)
3. Digestive trouble (gas, bloating, heart burn, loose stools, constipation)
4. Change in appetite, weight loss or weight gain
5. Headaches
6. Brain-fog
7. Aches, pains, muscle tension
8. Menstrual irregularity, including cramps
9. Low libido
10. Anxiety
11. Explosive anger
12. Irritability, mood swings

Luckily, even amidst all of the stressors of modern life, there are strategies you can use to rewire your nervous system so you can meet life with more ease, strength, and grace.

The first steps are really very simple.

You want to adjust your diet and lifestyle to make sure your basic needs are being met so your body doesn't have to deal with any more stress that it's already got.

Here are 3 things to prioritize:

1. Good quality sleep. Click here to read some tips on how to get more sleep when your mind won't shut up.
2. Daily exercise.
3. ​A gut-healthy diet.

It's amazing what a difference just these 3 can make!

But while they'll help you reduce your daily stress load, they're not enough to help you rewire the stress patterns that are stored in your nervous system.

To really get to the root of stress and anxiety, you need to go deeper.

Which is why I created Healing Through Anxiety, an online course that's specifically designed to help you rewire your nervous system.

Healing Through Anxiety gives you access to a collection of the most powerful healing practices I have found that have helped me, my patients, and countless others heal the root causes of their own stress and anxiety.

You also get access to the foundation videos, which explain where anxiety comes from, some of the theory that informs this method of healing, and gives you explanations for how all of the healing practices work.

Enrollment in Healing Through Anxiety is closing next week, on Wednesday, July 19 at 9 p.m. PST.

I'm revamping the program, and the price will be going up significantly the next time the doors open to accommodate these changes.

But, Reader, if you enroll before next week you won't have to pay anything extra. You'll have lifetime access to all the material so long as the program exists, including any improvements.
