Stress is natural—but when it becomes chronic, it can lead to burnout, fatigue, digestive issues, inflammation, and more. In this episode of The Body Guard Podcast, Christine Barnes explores how the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) controls our stress response and why excessive fight-or-flight activation can negatively impact our long-term health.
Learn how to recognize sympathetic nervous system dominance, why some people stay "stuck" in a stress loop, and how to use lifestyle interventions, herbs, and nutrients to restore balance. Christine also discusses mitochondrial repair, adrenal health, and nervous system regulation techniques to help prevent long-term burnout. If you feel constantly stressed, exhausted, or overwhelmed, this episode is for you. For more visit The Body Guard.
