Stress. We experience it so much in our lives today, yet do we truly understand it? We bring stress to our healing, to our eating, to our health challenges, but how often do we pause to take in the whole picture of what's really going on? How can we begin to tune into ourselves among all the noise out there? How can we start moving through stress more effectively? In this conversation with Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator, Andrea Nakayama, we go deep on all things stress and how to "separate the problem from the solution" for a more holistic understanding of what's really going on.

Among the Questions Explored:

• How can we develop a deeper understanding of stress?
• How can being self-aware be self-care?
• Why do quick fixes and endless data often do more harm than good?
• How can working within a group on food and other stressful issues be life changing?
• How has functional medicine gone off the rails?

Guest: Over two decades ago, Andrea Nakayama's husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor and given 6 months to live while she was pregnant with their first and only child. In response, she doubled down on an area she was passionate about—nutrition—in an attempt to extend his lifespan beyond his 30s. They made it over two years, and in the wake of his death, she discovered that she had developed Hashimoto’s. The transition from caregiver to patient challenged her to advocate for herself and others within a healthcare system that routinely pushes cases like hers and her late husband’s to the margins. As the host of the 15-Minute Matrix Podcast and the founder of Functional Nutrition Alliance, Andrea is leading thousands of students and practitioners around the globe in a revolution to offer better solutions to the growing chronic illness epidemic.
