198: Stress: The Hidden Saboteur of Your Health

Total Health in Midlife with Elizabeth Sherman

Are you tired of feeling like you're constantly running on empty, no matter how hard you try?

In this episode of the Total Health in Midlife podcast, I tackle one of the most overlooked yet crucial aspects of health: stress management. I challenge the traditional advice of bubble baths and breathing exercises, arguing that these reactive strategies fail to address the root of the problem.

Stress, particularly for women in midlife, is not just about managing responsibilities—it's the silent force affecting sleep, eating habits, exercise, and overall well-being. I draw from my own experience as a personal trainer and life coach to explain how the relentless mental load of daily life—family, work, social expectations—has conditioned many to normalize stress.

I offer a game-changing approach, introducing proactive tools like the 'Think, Feel, Act Cycle' and the 'Motivational Triad' to help listeners break free from the stress cycle and build resilience. Through these strategies, I empower my clients to manage stress before it derails their health efforts, creating a solid foundation for lasting change.

Tune in for a wake-up call that just might hold the missing piece to your health puzzle.
