In this episode Krissy and Elwin talk about the hidden costs of stress, the difference between healthy and unhealthy stress, the impact of Genetic Factors like COMT, and how the Polyvagal Theory explains the link between Stress, Anxiety and Depression.

They also go in depth into the various stress chemicals like Cortisol, Adrenaline and Dopamine, as well as the stress reducing chemicals like Serotonin, Oxytocin and GABA, what they do, and how to adjust them.

And as always, they go in depth on: what are the primary causes, how can you test to see what you need to work on, and what you can do to health Chronic Stress, Anxiety and Depression, and get back into a 'Ventral Vagal', relaxed and social state as your default.

This video is for people who are tired of 'top tips' and 'quick fixes' and are looking to discover what's really causing their issues, and what they can do about it.
