If you tend to have an afternoon energy crash, this tip is for you. Even a little bit of movement can combat that slump by promoting circulation, regulating stress hormones, and boosting feel-good chemicals in the brain.
Afternoon Energy Crash? Some Ideas:
Take a 10-minute walk outside
Stretch or do some desk yoga
Try 20 bodyweight squats or jumping jacks
Use a standing desk for part of the afternoon
Remember: We weren’t meant to sit at desks and computers all day!
Let's Talk About Stress
Most doctors don’t ask about stress—because they don’t have any way to “treat” it.
While we also don’t “treat” stress as a disease, we have a deep functional medicine toolkit to help your body become more resilient to stress.
If you suspect stress might be affecting your health—but aren’t sure where to start—here are some questions you could ask your practitioner:
1: Do I need stress hormone testing?
2: Could stress be affecting my gut?
3: What nutrients do I need when I’m stressed?
4: Could stress be affecting my hormones?
These are things we always consider when working with our patients. If you’re feeling more stressed than usual and don’t want it to take a toll on your health, we are here to help.
