Listen "Is Chronic Stress Wreaking Havoc on Your Health? | Plus This Week’s Health & Fitness Headlines"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Stronger Weekly, I’m joined by my good friend Justin Maziarz for a deep dive into one of the biggest killers of health and happiness — chronic stress.We unpack what stress actually is from a scientific perspective, what’s happening in your brain and body when you’re under constant pressure, and how chronic stress quietly wrecks your hormones, energy, and mood.From testosterone decline to cortisol overload, we cover the data, symptoms, and real-world impact — and what you can do about it.Justin and I also explore the modern causes of stress — overstimulation, lack of sleep, financial strain, and toxic ambition — and share practical tools to take back control, including breathwork, strength training, faith, and rest.We also break down the biggest health & fitness headlines of the week:- A new study in Obstetrics & Gynecology finds that COVID infection during pregnancy may increase autism risk, renewing debates about maternal immunity and fetal development.- Scientists confirm that chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) stems from repeated head impacts, not single concussions — redefining long-term brain safety in contact sports.- A new survey in JAMA Oncology shows most Americans still don’t realize alcohol increases cancer risk, despite decades of evidence.- Researchers identify promising metabolic benefits of cilantro, while warning against overhyped health claims.- And Alabama’s new 10% “porn tax” aims to fund mental-health services — sparking debate about the real cost of digital addiction.If you’ve ever wondered what role stress plays in YOUR life, and how to prevent stress from wreaking havoc on your health, and happiness, this episode’s for you. #StrongerWeeklyFOLLOW US ON ALL PLATFORMS- Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4at8Yhn- Spotify Podcasts: https://spoti.fi/3GAGVPJ- YouTube Channel: Stronger Weekly - YouTube- Visit our website here. - Subscribe to our newsletter here.
