In this episode of FutureLab, we explore the intricate relationship between stress, hormonal health, and overall well-being with expert Dr Carrie Jones. The discussion delves into stress hormones, identifying the distinctions between chronic and acute stress, and their physiological impacts. Carrie shares her personal journey, the diagnostic tools she employs, and effective stress management techniques through emotional awareness and creating a secure environment. Practical advice on recognising stress triggers, the importance of community, and the role of joy and hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline are covered. Additionally, the focus on mental and emotional approaches to stress management is highlighted over reliance on supplements, though key supplements like magnesium and adaptogenic herbs are discussed for their biological benefits.
