Recognizing the interplay between the mind, body and spirit holistic health acknowledges that stress can impact our well being in various ways. Chronic stress often stemming from our fast paced lives can have negative effects such as increasing cortisol levels, in the body the primary stress hormone. When cortisol levels stay high they can disrupt hormonal balance weaken the immune system contribute to weight gain and increase the risk of developing diseases.

Sufficient sleep is vital, for helping the body recuperate which in turn aids in maintaining mental clarity and emotional wellness.
