Dr. Erin Kinney on Women, Stress & Naturopathy
If you’re feeling fatigued, out of sorts or even struggling to lose weight that won’t come off, this episode of Woman Worriers is for you. Host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Dr. Erin Kinney for a discussion of chronic stress, the impact it can have on women’s bodies and how we can overcome it to begin healing.
“The longer that you stay in an acute stress state, the more likely you are to get stuck there.”
Show Notes:
We no longer have to run from sabre-tooth tigers, but we face other stressors, from cranky kids to caring for older loved ones, from work pressures to a global pandemic that threatens our health and our livelihoods. Our bodies react to those challenges in a way that is meant to keep us safe from immediate danger. In this episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., talks with Erin Kinney, ND, a Naturopathic Doctor and coach who is also based in Annapolis, about chronic stress and its long-term effects on our physical and mental health and the role of nutrition supplements and lifestyle changes in helping us begin to heal and regain energy and vitality.
