I talk a lot about stress and how stress can impact your overall health and there’s a good reason why. I speak from experience when I talk about stress and its impacts.

I have spent majority of my life normalizing stress, so I never felt there was anything wrong with living a high stress life. I also didn't realize that my excessive exercise, constant calorie deficit, and caffeine consumption among other bad behaviors were stressors that my body was responding to. Some of the symptoms that manifested for me as a result were:

• Constant and chronic fatigue
• Reliance on caffeine
• Anxiety
• Eczema
• Food cravings
• Loss of libido

To say it lightly, I felt like sh*t.

Through my passion in health and fitness, I began learning and applying my new knowledge in my own life slowly and steadily over the course of almost a decade. In hindsight now, there were a lot of actions I took that had a direct impact on the symptoms I didn't even recognize as symptoms and my healing journey had been underway for some time.

Now, I'm seeing an improvement in my symptoms and hope to continue this journey for myself until I feel like my best self. In this episode, I take you through the environment that brewed my symptoms, the actions I took over the course of years to heal (knowingly and unknowingly), and how my health has transformed as a result.

Chances are, you can relate to my story and take many of these actions I took and apply them to your own health journey to find relief.
