YouTube interview (creator: Shilpa Sayana, MD) discussing why chronic stress causes bodily symptoms and how to manage it without heavy reliance on supplements or medications.

Do you do in terms of helping with stress and helping people to address their stress in order to help with their symptoms?
I think the first thing for a lot of my patients are in their like late 30s to 60s and they just unaware because I'm in Los Angeles, it's a busy city, everybody's on the go. Be traffic, you're dropping your kids, you're taking care of your elderly parents, you have a high intensity job and you just got used to this new set of like, I'm ready, I'm ready to react to whatever it's calling me. But I think just telling patients that, you know, you're, you don't have to take so many supplements or so many pills to manage your stress. It's just about carving the time. You're a human, you're not meant to be working like this. How can you carve out the time with some breath work, some just awareness work, sitting in the sun where you don't have to be focused on a gadget or producing all the time.
