Humans? We worry for years and get chronic disease.
Here’s why stress is destroying your health—and how to break free:
When stressed, your body releases hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) which help:
• Convert glycogen to glucose (blood sugar)
• Accelerate heart rate and oxygen intake
• Increase alertness and focus
This gives you more energy, sharper reactions, and more muscle strength.

Chronic stress isn’t in your head.
It’s not genetic, either.
It’s a full-body glitch—your nervous system is stuck in a 200,000-year-old survival trap.
Until you rewire it, you’ll stay stuck in fatigue, brain fog, and silent burnout.
Here’s how to break the loop: 🧵
Most people miss the early signs.
Tension in your chest. Racing thoughts. Trouble focusing.
Digestive issues. Hair thinning. Waking up tired even after 8 hours.
You assume it’s just aging or part of life.
It’s not. And it only gets worse...

Stress isn’t just in your head or body.
After 15 years of research, Stanford Professor Alia Crum discovered that your beliefs about stress can rewire your biology—your heart, brain, and even your lifespan.
Here’s what no one ever told you about stress: 🧵
Most of us see stress as the villain.

Stop listening to Gabor Mate.
This is what Big Pharma wants you to think.
Studying Gabor Mate's work for the last 5 years helped me overcome anxiety and trauma, and changed my life (and helped dozens do the same).
Here are the 7 transformational concepts I learned from him: 1. Don't ask what, ask WHY
When I felt anxious and overwhelmed, instead of performing breathing techniques to get rid of the feelings, I started to evaluate, WHY I might be feeling anxious.
This allowed me to address the CAUSE.

The most over-medicated and misunderstood condition today:
Depression.
I’ve worked with 100s of people over the past decade—seeing firsthand what Big Pharma won’t tell you.
