Meet Dr. Kathleen Matt
CONVERSAT10N: Want to control how you respond to stress? 2020 has been a stressful year for all of us, to say the least. Our bodies have a natural physiological reaction to stress which can have both positive and negative effects on us physically and mentally. In today’s 10 Talks, Carlette introduces us to Dr. Kathleen Matt, who is an expert in endocrine physiology. Dr. Matt shares with us how our body physiologically responds to stress and some ways we can manage it. You’ll hear about cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline and how food, exercise, sleep and being intentional can have positive effects on reducing stress to help us win wellbeing.
