Debbie Potts health and fitness coach, nutritional therapist and author of ‘Life is Not a Race’ and ‘The Wholestic Method Manual’ joins Angela to talk about her own journey from high performing athlete, in the best shape of her life, to an individual with chronic stress and how taking ownership, slowing things down and learning to both manage stress and understand the stressors have all played a part in moving forward.

Key Takeaways
- It doesn’t matter what you do everyone has different stressors and these accumulate over time.
- Both internal and external stressors accumulate until it becomes chronic stress
- With the goldilocks affect too much of anything, whatever it is doesn’t help and too little of anything is also a negative
- Metabolic dysfunction affects every area of your life and if you have metabolic disfunction you can’t achieve your true potential in life
- A disrupted metabolic function can cause weight gain, fatigue and a feeling of loss of identity
- Knowing what your HRV makes a huge difference in understanding what makes the difference
- It’s empowering when you understand the data
- Many of the chronic conditions seen currently are connected to mitochondrial health
- Learning how to manage your own stress and recognise the red flags and stressors for you is key
- If you don’t track and review the data you don’t know what the impact is and the recovery that needed for your body
- It’s a genetic thing that some people are more susceptible to stress than others
- Understanding the data gives you something tangible to work with
