Definition – The cumulative adverse effect on the body when allostasis occurs too frequently (as the body is subjected to repeated stressors). In other words, when we are in fight or flight and there is no actual saber-toothed tiger to be found.
We know it as the common, every day modern life made more acute by a pandemic.
So, if you are feeling tired, beat up, unfocused and generally like crap, there is a reason. The good news, you can do something about it.
"Never underestimate the value of a good cry.” – Mark J. Silverman
Today on Mastering Midlife:
- We need to be kind to ourselves, no matter how cool we are, we are under stress.
- Stress, without something to fight, run from or hide from, turns on our bodies.
- You know it… constant media input (news, twitter, social media) ain’t good for us.
- If your mind is going crazy, write a gratitude list.
- If you are plagued with too much emotional energy in your body, move till you are exhausted.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
