Let’s face it, we all face some stress in our day to day lives.  In fact, some stress is a good thing, as it can keep us motivated towards achieving our personal goals.  However, when good (eustress) and bad (distress) are imbalanced this can wreck havoc on both our mind and body.

I might argue that stress management may exceed nutrition and physical activity in importance for optimal health.  As many of you can likely relate, stress can transpire into physical symptoms in our bodies.  Have you ever lost your appetite for days on end or experienced a complete dysregulation of your digestion?  There’s a good chance stress may have played some role here.
