How To Reduce The Harmful Effects Of Chronic Stress with Dr. Elissa Epel

This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Rupa Health, Essentia, and Athletic Greens. Stress has somehow become a perceived right of passage for adults in the US. Many people feel that if they’re not stressed, they’re not working hard enough. And almost all of us have had stress build throughout our lives, a combination of trauma, life experiences, and our state of mind. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Elissa Epel about the wide-ranging effects of chronic stress on our health and how to mitigate it to feel better and even slow the aging process. Elissa Epel, PhD is an internationally renowned health psychologist who focuses on how to live well and thrive with existential stress, despite the challenges we face personally and globally. She is a professor at UCSF and the director of UCSF’s Aging, Metabolism, and Emotion Center. She is the coauthor of the New York Times bestseller The Telomere Effect which is in 30 languages. Her new book is THE STRESS PRESCRIPTION: Seven Days to More Joy and Ease. This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Rupa Health, Essentia, and Athletic Greens.
