Sample Book Insights:

#1 Robert is a good lawyer, but he’s also a stressedout father of two who lives in constant fear of losing his job. He can’t see the way out, and each day, a silent desperation builds in the shadows of his psyche.

#2 Robert’s stress is not from an acute incident. It is the chronic stress of constantly thinking about the event, which causes his body to stay wound up.

#3 When the body is constantly stressed, it begins to suffer from poor absorption, nutrient deficiencies, constipation or loose stools, indigestion, bloating, fatigue, and eventually leaky gut syndrome.

#4 When we’re chronically stressed, our bodies burn through our adrenal glands, which leads to the release of cortisol, which helps us deal with the situation at hand. However, this also leads to the blood flow to the prefrontal cortex being cut off, which leads to the negation of impulses and lower moral reasoning.
