Welcome back to the Endo Belly Girl Podcast! Today is part two of our series on stress and its effects on endometriosis. If you haven’t listened to the first part, definitely check it out before you listen to part two.

-Types of stressors: How the external and internal stressors impact your stress response.

-Taking control: Why it’s crucial to identify your stressors, make necessary changes, and know when to seek additional support like therapy.

-Lifestyle changes: How changing your lifestyle can address these stressors, and the importance of supporting it with a nutrient-dense diet.

-Adrenal health nutrients: The specific nutrients you need for adrenal health and why you need to have plenty of them, including protein, carbs, and fats.

-Caloric intake: The importance of eating enough calories, even if you’re trying to lose weight, and the benefits of eating three meals a day.

-Limiting caffeine: Why limiting caffeine intake is essential for adrenal health.

-Blood sugar impact: How blood sugar levels affect your adrenal health and act as a stressor.

-Nutrient replenishment: The importance of nutrients, such as B vitamins, that you need to replenish to support your adrenals.

-Lifestyle stressors: Recognize lifestyle factors, like over-exercising, that can be stressors.

Stress is a huge topic, and there are many factors that impact it. If you have questions about what we discussed, feel free to reach out to me on Instagram. I love connecting with you and hope this episode provides insight into what you’re experiencing and how to manage it!
