You might think your anxiety is a mindset problem. It isn't. In
this episode, human biologist Gary Brecka explains why chronic
stress leaves your autonomic nervous system stuck in
fight-or-flight, and how elevated cortisol degrades your gut
lining, suppresses your immune system, stores fat around your
midsection and, according to research on chronic stress and
telomeres, may accelerate how fast you age. He breaks down the
vagus nerve as the physical brake line of your parasympathetic
system, then walks through four free daily resets you can start
today: the physiological sigh and five minutes of slow breathing
before you touch your phone, 30 seconds of cold at the end of your
shower, ten minutes of morning sunlight in your eyes with your feet
on the ground, and two hard rules on caffeine and the last hour
before bed. No pills, no supplement stack, no subscription. If you
wake up exhausted, your heart races for no reason and you lie down
tired and wired, this one explains why. CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY’S
