Practical Approaches to Stress Management

Dr Deb Matthew

Summer School Edition EP02 on DUTCH Podcast

Slow, sluggish mornings followed by sleepless nights should not be the norm—yet for many patients, this is their experience.  

In this episode of the DUTCH Podcast, host Dr Jaclyn Smeaton and guest Dr Deb Matthew, talk about the profound impact that stress and cortisol have on overall wellness. They discuss how dysfunction precedes disease and why it’s crucial to nip HPA axis dysfunction in the bud before it causes long-term, chronic health problems. 

They share all about the nitty-gritty of the HPA axis, circadian rhythm, and how sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and adrenal hormones are all interconnected. Plus, Dr Matthew reveals some of her go-to recommendations for stress management.
