Ways to De-Stress?

Dr. Shawn Talbott (Ph.D., CNS, LDN, FACSM, FACN, FAIS) has gone from triathlon struggler to gut-brain guru! With a Ph.D. in Nutritional Biochemistry, he's on a mission to boost everyday human performance through the power of natural solutions and the gut-brain axis.

We all know that too much stress is “bad” for us, but we’re often stumped for ways to easily counteract our stress signals. Here are some simple strategies…

Here is a feature article from the March 2016 issue of Cosmopolitan where I talk a little about why it can be so difficult to relax and de-stress.

Here is a great explanation on Relaxation Breathing from a recent Harvard Business Review article. The “short-version” for this type of creating (that activates our parasympathetic nervous system, which basically puts the “brakes” on our stress response) is to breathe full and deeply for one minute – so the total time spent on each inhalation and exhalation together is 10 seconds, for a total of six breaths per minute.

Finally, here are a few seminars (in mp3 format) that I did about stress balance, mental/physical vigor, and stress fat at a behavioral medicine conference:

 

 

 

I hope some of these help you to relax and de-stress…

Thanks for reading (and listening)!
