Interview
Written By Alaina Kaczmarski
 

Why are we all so stressed—and what is it really doing to our bodies? In this eye-opening episode, Josie sits down with naturopathic doctor Erin Stokes to uncover what’s most misunderstood about our health, how stress is silently impacting us, and what we can do about it. Erin breaks down the concept of “stress personalities,” explains how to actually recover from stress (both physically and emotionally), and shares science-backed tips for improving sleep that go way beyond the usual advice. Plus, we dive into the buzzy wellness topic you’ve definitely heard of but maybe don’t fully understand: adaptogens and herbs for stress relief. Erin explains what they are, how they work, and how to know if they’re right for you. Listen to this if you're tired of feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode.
