Business Coaching
I have client after client telling me the same thing.
They’re overwhelmed.
I know you’re familiar with the feeling. You have a laundry list of things you HAVE to do, but the burden feels so heavy, you can’t get ANY of it done. The neurons get overloaded and we just kinda shut down … paralyzed.
Remember our two-part discussion on cortisol from a few months ago? Part 1 and Part 2. That’s the culprit. Cortisol sets you up to fight or flee.

It makes your blood pressure rise. Makes you crave carbohydrates. Makes your blood sugar rise. Causes you to “burn up” your calming and repair nutrients, such as vitamin C, the B vitamins, zinc and magnesium.
It suppresses your immune system, playing a role in the development of cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes, while increasing your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s.
It turns damaging free radicals loose in your system. It inhibits the collagen production your connective tissue needs to sustain and rejuvenate itself and causes your cells to age faster. It not only stops the production of new brain cells, it damages your brain at the structural level of your DNA and puts you at higher risk for mental illness.
It compromises your ability to regulate your body’s immune response over time, resulting in chronic inflammation. It cuts off production of the master hormone responsible for growth and repair, DHEA.
All this makes you old before your time and shortens your life. This stuff is trouble.
And those aren’t all the problems it causes.Read More
