Stress Reduction Program

With the Stress Reduction Program, you achieve true hormonal harmony and create the foundation for lasting stress relief.

Body Basics

High levels of cortisol and adrenaline are associated with excessive stress that interferes with almost every hormone involved in metabolism regulation, appetite control, and fat burning. So, it is absolutely essential that you bring your stress hormones under control.

If the high-stress response lingers, you become chronically imbalanced, which can lead to:

  • muscle wasting,
  • premature aging,
  • fat gain,
  • disease, and
  • even death.

Therefore, it is imperative that you feel an inner calm in your body again! Below is a great quote for our times about the need for solitude in our lives.

"Choosing solitude is an act of resistance and rebellion against the digital industrial complex that seeks to profit from our attention and exploit one of our most valuable resources. When we reclaim our solitude, we reclaim our independence, our autonomy, and even our very humanity."  ... by Michael Harris from his book Solitude: In Pursuit of a Singular Life in a Crowded World

"If you always feel tense or anxious, your body will remain in a constant state of heightened arousal. Constantly overproducing cortisol and adrenaline day after day because of ongoing stress, multitasking, skipping meals, excessive calorie restriction, insufficient carbohydrate intake, too much protein consumption, lack of sleep, or too much coffee will lead to adrenal gland burnout. At this point, your adrenal glands can't keep up with the constant stimulation and outrageous demands for adrenaline and cortisol production, and they simply shut down."  by Natasha Turner, N.D.
