What Drives Stress?

Chronic Stress strongly affects every system in your body, with ongoing or poorly managed stress increasing the risk of experiencing potential health consequences.  Stress may affect:

• Mental wellbeing and mood;

• Sleeping patterns, e.g. your ability to fall and/or stay asleep

• Energy levels

• Digestive function;

• Cardiovascular function, such as your heart rate and blood pressure, and

• Reproductive hormones

Therefore, it is important to manage your stressors in addition to your physical response to stressful situations, in order to ensure balance and health are maintained.

Everyone is unique in how they respond to and experience stress. 

Claudia will help you to identify the causes of your stress, but also the impact that the stress is having on you physically and/or mentally that may or may not be obvious. 

These may include:

• Inflammation

• Oxidative Stress

• Gut disturbances

• Sex hormone and Thyroid imbalance

• Weight Management

• Poor Sleep
