The NeuroEndoMetabolic (NEM) Stress Response

with Dr. Carrie Lam

We are excited to have Dr. Carrie Lam on the show today to talk about how stress impacts the physical body, bringing together connections and circuits we don’t always think of when it comes to rebalancing and re-establishing our best health.

Adrenal fatigue is deeply connected to physical and emotional stress and often the Neuro-Endocrine response can become almost subconscious when we become used to living with stress chronically-- or when we are not managing day-to-day stressors well.

Having more awareness around this important connection between our body and brain can be so important for your recovery and we are thrilled to have Dr. Carrie Lam here with us in this episode to discuss this in more detail in terms of the NeuroEndoMetabolic (NEM) stress response.

We discuss the following in this episode:
