How stress impacts your body and what you can do about it

Stress. It’s the buzzword of our modern lives. From looming deadlines to endless notifications, it feels like stress has become a constant companion. But how much is it really affecting your mind, body, and overall health? Spoiler alert: more than you think.

At dos, we believe that stress doesn’t have to define you and it definitely shouldn’t keep you from living your best life. So let’s dive into what stress is doing to your body, and more importantly, how you can take back control.

The Science of Stress: What’s Actually Happening?

Stress isn’t inherently bad. It’s your body’s natural response to challenges. When you’re faced with a stressful situation, your body goes into fight-or-flight mode, releasing cortisol and adrenaline. This is great if you’re escaping a bear, but less ideal when your stressor is a demanding email or traffic jam.

Over time, chronic stress can lead to:

• Sleep issues (tossing and turning, anyone?)
• Digestive discomfort (your gut’s more connected to your stress levels than you think!)
• Weakened immune system, leaving you more prone to illnesses.
• Brain fog and fatigue, making even simple tasks feel like mountains.

Your Stress Toolkit: Steps to Find Your Calm

You’re not powerless against stress—it just takes the right tools. Here’s how you can start turning stress into serenity:

1. Breathe with intention. Try deep, mindful breaths to calm your nervous system. A simple inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, and exhale for 6 can work wonders.
2. Prioritize movement. Whether it’s a brisk walk or yoga, movement helps release pent-up tension.
3. Fuel your body right. A balanced diet, rich in whole foods, supports your body’s ability to handle stress.
4. Consider natural stress support. This is where dos comes in.
