Heal Stress, Anxiety and Depression with Polyvagal Theory | Rejuvenate Podcast Ep 2

In this episode Krissy and Elwin talk about the hidden costs of stress, the difference between healthy and unhealthy stress, the impact of Genetic Factors like COMT, and how the Polyvagal Theory explains the link between Stress, Anxiety and Depression.

They also go in depth into the various stress chemicals like Cortisol, Adrenaline and Dopamine, as well as the stress reducing chemicals like Serotonin, Oxytocin and GABA, what they do, and how to adjust them.

And as always, they go in depth on: what are the primary causes, how can you test to see what you need to work on, and what you can do to health Chronic Stress, Anxiety and Depression, and get back into a 'Ventral Vagal', relaxed and social state as your default.

This video is for people who are tired of 'top tips' and 'quick fixes' and are looking to discover what's really causing their issues, and what they can do about it.

This is Episode 2 of a new podcast, the Rejuvenate podcast, which is dedicated to looking at the real root causes of premature aging, and what we can do to 'turn back the clock' and feel younger and healthier again.

To begin with, episodes will be quite broad and just an overview of a big subject, then later the plan is to go more in depth, both with our hosts, and also guests, on more specific issues and give a comprehensive plan for each.
