This week Tee is excited to welcome Dr. Gala Gorman for a discussion on the effects of chronic stress and toxins on our health and happiness. Dr. Gala Gorman is a licensed acupuncturist, naturopath, and author who offers practical advice and programs to reverse health issues resulting from chronic stress. She helps women relieve their symptoms, restore their energy, and reclaim their "Super Woman" status. Dr. Gala advocates for getting to the root cause of our health issues and treating them naturally. She encourages patients to be their own health advocates by taking control of their destiny and eliminating toxins of all types in order to both decrease stress and improve their health. Dr. Gorman is the author of What's Your Kryptonite?: Manage the Toxic Stressors Threatening Your Super Woman Status. In this conversation, Tee and Dr. Gala unpack many of the principles and tips that she addresses in the book while also discussing many of the root causes of stress and how to eliminate the toxic factors that contribute to stress and anxiety in our lives. Dr. Gorman also helps listeners understand the complex relationship between stress and our environment while sharing her own journey of healing and mindfulness. With the holidays now in full swing many of us will be dealing with the inevitable stress that comes with the season. This episode is the perfect reminder of the healthy ways that we should be dealing with that stress while also unpacking the scientific and genetic reasons why everyone copes with stress differently. Dr. Gale lays out a path by which we can stop coping with stress and anxiety through self-medicating mechanisms like sleeping pills, alcohol, or painkillers and begin to address the root causes of both our toxic load and stressors.
