We’ve all heard that stress is the number one contributor to disease but what exactly is taking place in our body and mind that leads to this diminished state of well-being?

In “Why Does Stress Make Us Ill?” I detail exactly what happens when we experience stress and through the understanding of this you will be left in no doubt as to how and why the body and mind begins to crack under pressure.

I also detail how we can bring a halt to the stress response and begin to repair the damage to our systems. Find out how we can, in a matter of minutes, switch the nervous system from stressed to soothed.  

This is a highly practical read, written in a gently motivating style with many suggestions as to how to easily effect positive changes to reduce stress and anxiety.
