44. How stress is making us sick: The link between cortisol, minerals, mitochondria, and chronic illness

The Healer Revolution

In this episode, we're diving into my life's work, understanding the hidden connections between stress, cortisol imbalances, mineral changes, and chronic illnesses. As a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a Master’s in Functional Medicine, I bring a unique blend of expertise and personal experience to the table. My journey through healing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and navigating the challenges of Topical Steroid Withdrawal has given me firsthand insights into the profound effects of stress on the body. We'll bust common myths around mitochondrial dysfunction and adrenal fatigue, exploring how these misunderstood conditions are intricately linked to our body's response to stress. Learn about the crucial role the nervous system plays in our health and how, armed with the right knowledge, we can steer our bodies back to wellness. Join me as we unravel the complex web of stress, uncovering practical strategies for healing and resilience. Whether you're battling chronic illness or simply seeking to understand the impact of stress on your well-being, this episode is a must-listen. Let's embark on this journey to health together, leveraging my professional background and personal victories to guide you toward a life of reduced stress and enhanced vitality. Ready to get started?
