The Wellness Conversation

Make Stress Your Friend

Episode Summary

This week we’re talking all things nervous system, stress and recovery — starting with a very normal school drop-off that had my body acting like we were running late… when we absolutely weren’t. We chat about how our bodies can learn stress patterns, why being constantly “on” can become our normal, and how movement, breathing, recovery and simply slowing down can help. Then we dive into saunas, ice baths and hot/cold therapy. What are the actual benefits? Do we really need to freeze ourselves in the name of wellness? And can an ice bath really improve recovery? We unpack the benefits, bust a few myths and come back to our favorite message: the basics still win.
