Is alcohol losing its grip as the go-to social drink? Enter kava—a centuries-old Polynesian plant that's gaining global recognition for its ability to relax the mind, elevate mood, and enhance social connection without the toxic effects of alcohol. Kava, particularly in the form of TRU KAVA, is a psychoactive yet non-intoxicating drink that offers the perfect balance of calm focus and mental clarity. In this episode, Dave Asprey welcomes Cameron George, founder of TRU KAVA, to discuss why kava is becoming the drink of choice for those seeking a healthier, more connected lifestyle. Learn how kava impacts neurotransmitters like GABA and dopamine, enhances creativity and emotional grounding, and even helps the body recover from stress and trauma.

I've known Beth for many years, and I knew from experience that the two of us were going to have a lively conversation! It was a joy to sit down with her to discuss kava - a plant that has been supporting her since day one of her herbal journey, and one that I have also found to be super helpful in times of stress and anxiety. Beth has gotten to know this plant so well that her friends sometimes even refer to her as the Kava Queen!Beth has worked with kava in so many different ways, from tinctures to powders and even chocolate bars! One of her favorite ways to take kava is in her delicious smoothie recipe, which she calls Kava Kolada. You'll find a beautifully illustrated recipe card here, so that you can give it a try too: https://bit.ly/3YBeQQJBy the end of this episode, you'll know:► How kava can help you lower your walls and speak from your heart► Why kava is so great during times of grief, stress, and anxiety► Five different herbal preparations for kava► An unusual way that kava affects you - and how that might help you when you go to the dentist!► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Beth's love of nature came from growing up on her family farm. She spent years walking the woods collecting treasures (bluebells being her favorite), and "sucking the sugar" out of red clover blossoms. A sun worshipper at heart, at 26 she fled the snow & moved to the desert. There she discovered the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA), where she studied herbalism, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, astrology & more. She graduated with an Associate's Degree in Holistic Healthcare with a specialty in Western Herbalism, taught by the brilliant herbalist JoAnn Sanchez. She worked for Whole Foods, herb shops, Dr. Hauschka, SWIHA, and many herb companies, and she taught herb classes. In 2009, life led her to Austin, and her dream of owning an herb shop came true.

Andrew Mackintosh (DS Greig)makes his long-awaited return to acting in a brand new fiction podcast! "Letter from Helvetica" is based on a novel that Andrew wrote in his spare time over a four-year period. In a blinding flash of unadulterated genius – albeit one that took about ten years to gestate – he realised that it would make a splendid podcast. With good fortune, he managed to persuade fellow The Bill alumnus Natalie Roles (DS McAllister) into playing the role of Abigail, and entice Oliver Crocker (The Bill Podcast) into producing it. Letter from Helvetica is a humorous ‘epistolary' novel that takes the form of emails exchanged between Abigail Wesley, a talented young botanist from Surrey, and her Uncle John, an acerbic retired Lieutenant Colonel who lives in the not quite real village of Helvetica in Cornwall. Abigail has been sent by her employer to research, among other things, Kava-Kava root on the ever so slightly made-up island of Burbango, a tiny speck of dormant volcano nestling among the 83 islands that make up the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu. Having tasked her with spending a whole year away from her home, her kindly boss has agreed for her to be accompanied by her husband and three young children. John Stotter, a retired Lieutenant Colonel, lives in a rambling old house in the tiny village of Helvetica that skulks in the far Western reaches of Cornwall. Uncle to Abigail, the two enjoy a relationship that is considerably closer than that she has ever had with her father. Sharing a similar outlook on life and a similar sense of humour, they resolve to write to each other regularly during her sojourn in the Southern Hemisphere. Letter from Helvetica is the collected chronicles, tales, musings and canards that constitute their correspondence, introducing us along the way to a veritable mishmash, jumble and salmagundi of diverse characters. It takes a wry look at the nature of village life and turns on its head some of our preconceptions regarding what is ‘civilised' and what is ‘primitive'. And it takes a sideways glance at the sometimes peculiar and complex relationships with clothing that different cultures develop, even when clothing offers no discernible benefit. We have a Crowdfund live on Indiegogo, where there are multiple Bill-related perks to claim - and we are almost at 90% of our target to be able to produce the first series!

Regulators in the United States get a justifiably bad rap for their handling of crypto, seemingly unable to offer clarity to both companies and individuals that are innovating and investing.

Her mission is to protect consumers, while concurrently allowing entrepreneurs to innovate with minimal friction. She is more than just our “crypto mom.” She is leading the charge for financial freedom, opportunity, and access. -- Arculus: Arculus is the new crypto cold storage wallet that combines the world's strongest security protocols with an easy-to-manage app. Store, swap, and send your crypto all with a simple tap of your Arculus Key™ card.

My guest today is Will Reeves, Found and CEO of Fold. Fold is a rewards app where users can earn bitcoin back on every purchase. Fold offers bitcoin cashback via its Visa debit card and mobile application. Fold enables its customers to earn bitcoin on everything they do: spending, saving and investing. Cardholders can win up to 100% back on every purchase, or even a whole bitcoin. Fold is excited to open access to its bitcoin cashback debit card to all U.S. residents. Instead of offering points or airline miles typically found in most card programs, Fold provides bitcoin rewards through a gamified experience that emphasizes healthy financial habits. Fold Cardholders can earn variable rewards by spinning a rewards wheel after each qualifying purchase, like earning 100% of their purchase back in bitcoin, or even winning a whole bitcoin, which ten users have done to date. The Fold app, now available on Android and iOS, allows shoppers to earn bitcoin rewards back (up to 20%) on credit card and lightning purchases when shopping at merchants like Amazon, Target, Starbucks, Uber, Airbnb, and more. Users can spend these rewards on their next purchase, save for later use, or withdraw to a personal wallet. Will is a well known tech entrepreneur with expertise in developing payments solutions. Prior to founding Fold, Will worked as Head of Payments at Thesis. He has also worked as a Venture Lead at A3Ventures and Co-founder of Membo. Of note, Will also was part of the early team that brought the Google Store to market, and he led the vision for the cult project, Lightning Pizza, the first real-world service using the bitcoin Lightning Network that allows customers to order Dominos Pizza anywhere in the U.S. with bitcoin. This interview is a masterclass for anyone interested in product design and user experience. Will and I discuss how Fold is making Bitcoin more approachable, why earning Bitcoin is the best way to accumulate Bitcoin, building on lightning, and much more. Will discusses how he thinks about product design and the importance of UI/UX design in providing world-class experience to the end-user. We discuss the various features of Fold and how a couple of users have even won whole 1 Bitcoin. We also discuss the importance of sovereign money and financial agency. We finish our discussion talking about the philosophy and community behind Bitcoin.

My guest today is my friend Aaron Gooding, Founder and CEO of F.I.T. CONCEPTS, a verticalized fitness company focused on helping people achieve their fitness goals. He was pushed to start a fitness company out of his immense passion for helping others overcome the difficulties associated with health, fitness, and lifestyle change. Aaron's journey is very inspiring and is clear why he is passionate about helping others build a better version of themselves. In 2007, he was involved in a horrific car accident that ended in the death of a completely innocent individual and his incarceration in the Florida Department of Corrections. It was here, in prison, that he says he found a passion and new direction in life. Aaron spent the majority of the nine years that he was incarcerated rebuilding himself by focusing his efforts to learn and put into practice as much as he could about Health, Fitness, and Personal Development. After Aaron was released from prison in 2017, he enrolled in various programs to become a certified personal trainer and nutritionist. His collective education allows him to provide an all encompassing service to his clients that bridges the gap between Personal Training and Nutritional Coaching. He has a thriving business and amazing personal life, his story is truly inspiring. In our discussion, we focus on the importance of accountability, starting from zero, the impact of COVID on society, and much more. Aaron talks about the importance of extreme ownership and why taking accountability is the first step to getting your life together. We go on to discuss the importance of being comfortable with being uncomfortable and fighting through adversity is a vital component of success. Aaron shares a list of books that have helped him on his personal development journey. Our conversation led us to discuss the impact of COVID on society and the current mental-health epidemic. We finish our conversation by discussing how ones attitude impacts your success but more importantly your daily life. This episode is full with so many great insights and a lot of awesome life advice.

This is the darkest episode of Post Rhetoric yet. It's Friday the 13th and Stuntman Mike decided to play Jason. But not the Lost Rhetoric podcast host. Mike went to physically confront podcaster, and curse word user, Joe Budden at his studio. He left "Code Rhet" Cody Klewin in charge of the show.

My guest today is Scott Conger, the Mayor of Jackson, Tennessee. Jackson is a city in and the county seat of Madison County, Tennessee. Located 70 miles east of Memphis. Latest estimates the total population of Jackson to be approximately 67,000. Scott has been the Mayor of Jackson for a few years now and is actually the 3rd person in his family to serve as Mayor of Jackson. At 35, Conger became the youngest mayor of the City of Jackson, Tennessee, beating out his opponent Jerry Woods by over 3,000 votes. Mayor Conger was one of the first US elected officials to publicly embrace Bitcoin. Over the years, Mayor Conger has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the long-term prosperity of the Jackson, Tennessee community. Mayor Conger views Bitcoin as an ideal way for his city to secure its financial future as well as to encourage young remote tech workers to lay down roots in Jackson. Mayor Conger follows three principles when navigating his role as a leader in local government: transparency, efficiency and inclusion. These principles shine through our conversation. We cover the latest infrastructure bill and the possible implications on the crypto industry, the importance of local politics, and Bitcoin. We discuss the infrastructure bill and some inside baseball about how local politicians can influence national politicians. Mayor Conger explains how Jackson Tennessee is running a fiscal surplus and how they are incentivizing people to move to Jackson. Mayor Conger goes on to stress the importance of citizens having access to fast internet and why broadband should be classified as a basic utility. We discuss why the biggest problem facing progress is single interest groups. A very memorable moment in the conversation was when Mayor Conger talks about how even though his campaign was underfunded compared to his opponent, he was still able to win by being more strategic about his marketing and ultimately more impactful. The story illustrates the power of the internet and network effects but more importantly it demonstrates that stories are what drive people to action. We finish our conversation with a deep dive on local politics by discussing the structure of local politics, the importance of local politics, and how to get involved.

33 schmale Inselatolle, die sich auf eine riesige Wasserfläche verteilen: Das ist Kiribati, ein kleiner Südseestaat mitten im Pazifik. Das kleine friedliche Land am anderen Ende der Welt – 14.000 km und 50 Flugstunden von Deutschland entfernt – scheint mitten im Nirgendwo zu sein, und doch ist es mitten im Weltgeschehen, in einer der entscheidendsten Entwicklungen unserer Zeit: Kiribati ist das Land, das womöglich das erste Opfer des Klimawandels wird. Durch den steigenden Meeresspiegel werden die Inselatolle künftig nicht mehr bewohnbar sein. In der fünften Folge des Mare-Podcasts erfährt Zozan Mönch von der ARD-Korrespondentin Lena Bodewein, wie die Einwohner von Kiribati mit dem drohenden Verlust ihrer Heimat umgehen, und testet mit ihr die entspannende Wirkung des traditionellen Getränks Kava-Kava. Der Mare-Podcast ist eine Kooperation von Bremen Zwei und der Zeitschrift Mare.

My guest today is Latif Peracha, General Partner (GP) at M13. M13 is a venture capital firm focused on building a team of industry-leading operating executives to help founders make better decisions and win in their category.

This is why they are building a Venture Engine, a full-service venture firm that provides the right people, platform, and partnerships for founding teams to build high-velocity businesses. Latif spent 8 years working for Sir Richard Branson and during this time he developed a clear understanding of how a single brand and visionary was able to scale 8 companies in disparate industries and geographies to a billion dollars or more of enterprise value.

The effects that Trauma has on you is very real. Sometimes we don't even know that trauma has occurred. It could be that it has been blocked from memory. It could be that you just don't understand or have recognized it. So, let's answer the question: what is trauma? Trauma is an experience that leaves a lasting negative impact on your behaviors, relationships, thoughts, or feelings. They can come from a list that is still incomplete as there are still people around. Trauma can come from experiences, you might be experiencing them if you have had to deal with abuse, death, loss, or betrayal. Just as each of us can have something different cause the trauma but each person can experience it differently. It is not helpful to compare or contrast yourself with anyone around you. It is important for us to recognize what the triggers are. Then how you experience and respond to what has happened to you. In order to move past a trauma, you must first be out of the situation. You must be safe before any type of healing can happen. Safety means you have a place where you will not be re-traumatized. It also means that you will feel loved and accepted. A “Safe Place” is one free from bias, abuse of any kind, conflict, criticism, or potentially threatening actions, ideas, conversations or violence. You deserve to be safe. You deserve to be in a place that you feel no abuse or violence in. Do you have a safe place to go to leave behind the traumas that you have faced? Do you have a strong and compassionate person that can lead you safely through the experience, and remove the memories from every part of your body? Another way to overcome PTSD is to get healthy. This means eating and drinking the correct things. It also means movement. I know I sound like a broken record, but movement, sleep, and healthy eating have a huge impact on most every part of your life. Reducing or removing caffeinated and sugary tasting drinks will make a difference that you will mostly likely not expect. Inflammatory foods contribute to feelings of anxiety and restlessness. Reducing sugar can help. Movement creates the right hormones and transmitters in your body to help you feel happier. Getting healthy will put you on the road to happiness. I have talked with you about the importance of nutrition in many of our episodes. Goto https://kengerber.kyani.com/ There are alternatives to medications that can also be used. Medications have down sides and they cause side effects. Medications may cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, weight gain, drowsiness, sedation, constipation, and dry mouth. Now herbal treatments can reduce anxiety and depression and are less likely to have side effects. Feverfew and butterbur can be used to treat migraines associated with PTSD. Drinking the following teas may be able to contribute to reducing anxiety and stress: peppermint, turmeric, ginger, Ashwagandha, Kava Kava, Chamomile, passion flower, lemon balm, and rose tea. These natural options can be helpful with overcoming PTSD. Working through the trauma is also a big help in overcoming PTSD. While working through the traumatic events you will want to work through them on a cellular level throughout your body. This will get rid of the memories. This will help you to overcome the hard-wired survival strategies based on flight, flight, freeze or please responses are hard to break away from. Without overcoming the trauma on a cellular level, you could still fall back into old mind-body-brain patterns.

They use only filler free high potency botanical extracts. ensuring that every batch delivers a full dose of the most powerful phytonutrients on the planet.    Podcast 2: Stress: 3 types of stress responses: Social Engagement Mobilization Immobilization   1. Social engagement - our most evolved strategy for keeping ourselves feeling calm and safe. Since the vagus nerve connects the brain to sensory receptors in the ear, eye, face and heart, socially interacting with another person can calm you down and deescalate a “fight-or-flight” type response. When using social engagement you can think clearly, and body functions such as digestion, the immune system, blood pressure, and heartbeat continue to work normally. 2. Mobilization -commonly referred to as "fight-or-flight" response. When social engagement is no longer an appropriate response and we need to either defend ourselves or run away from danger, the body prepares for mobilization. It releases hormones and neurotransmitters to provide the energy you need to protect yourself. When this happens, body functions such as digestive function and immune function, stop working. Under normal conditions, when the danger has passed your nervous system calms the body, the heart rate and blood pressure normalize, and the body goes back into balance. 3. Immobilization - the least evolved response to stress and used by the body only when social engagement and mobilization have failed. You may find yourself traumatized or frozen in an angry, panic-stricken or otherwise dysfunctional state. In extreme, life-threatening situations, you may even lose consciousness or find yourself enabled to survive high levels of physical pain. However, until you’re able to deescalate to a mobilization response, your nervous system may be unable to return to its pre-stress state of balance.   Inappropriate Stress Response!! While it’s not always possible to respond to stress using social engagement, many of us have become conditioned to responding to every minor stressor by immediately resorting to fight or flight. Since this response interrupts other body functions and clouds judgment and feeling, over time it can cause stress overload and have a detrimental effect on both your physical and mental health. Effects of stress overload The body’s autonomic nervous system often does a poor job of distinguishing between daily stressors and life-threatening events. For example: you have a mild, low level stress situation in life and have a stress response like you’re facing a life-or-death situation. When you repeatedly experience the fight or flight stress response in your daily life, it can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, speed up the aging process and leave you vulnerable to a host of mental and emotional problems.   Health problems which are caused or exacerbated by stress include: Pain of any kind Heart disease Digestive problems Sleep problems Depression Weight problems Auto immune diseases Skin conditions, such as eczema   Common warning signs of chronic stress: Memory Problems Inability to concentrate Poor judgements Moodiness Sense of loneliness and isolation Depression or general unhappiness Aches and pains Digestive problems Nausea Chest pain or rapid heartbeat Loss of libido Weakened immune function Eating more or less Sleeping problems Substance abuse   Power Plants that promote a healthy stress response:   Energizing herbs for stress management 1. Ashwagandha - The flagship herb of Ayurveda supports healthy adrenal function, energy, and mental focus. Ashwagandha (KSM-66) has been clinically researched and is backed by several randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled human clinical trials to support a multitude of body function. Ashwagandha is one of the most versatile plants in existence and is a key herbal component in countless herbal stress formulas. 2. Rhodiola Rosea -A favorite among athletes and herbal practitioners, Rhodiola has a reputation as one of the world’s greatest mood and energy tonics.  It's unique array of phytochemicals have been researched for their ability to regulate critical neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin.  Rhodiola Rosea may help you manage stress, but it won't be sedating. 3. Ginseng (Chinese, Korean, and American) - There are 3 popular types of Ginseng used around the world; Chinese, Korean, and American.  Chinese Ginseng (Ren Shen) is considered the "king of herbs" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is celebrated as its' premier tonic herb.  It's active compounds, referred to as ginsenosides, are known to restore qi (pronounced "chi") or energy levels and to support a calm, alert mind.

Tonic -  A remedy believed to restore exhausted function and promote vigor and a sense of well-being. Tonics are categorized according to the organ or system on which they are presumed to act, as cardiac, kidney, adrenal, vascular etc. Neurotransmitter - a substance  that transmits nerve impulses across a synapse.  Some neurotransmitters are inhibitory (calming) such as GABA and some are exitotory (stimulating) like dopamine. Serotonin -  An important neurotransmitter that has many functions including the regulation of mood, appetite, and sleep. Serotonin also plays a role in cognitive functions, including memory and learning. The modulation of serotonin at synapses is believed to be a major factor in several classes of pharmacological antidepressants. GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) - the main inhibitory or calming neurotransmitter in the brain, GABA influences our mood by reducing high levels of the hormones adrenalin, noradrenalin and dopamine. It also affects the neurotransmitter serotonin. Having sufficient GABA in our brain is linked to being relaxed and happy, while having too little GABA is associated with sleep problems, and feeling anxious, stressed, and depressed. Tryptophan - as a precursor to many neurotransmitters and neurochemicals, including serotonin and melatonin, L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that helps improve sleep and reduce stress. Melatonin is known to help improve sleep, and serotonin is needed to improve mood and mental health. Cortisol - Cortisol is a steroid-based hormone and is synthesized from cholesterol and belongs to a group of hormones called glucocorticoids. Cortisol is made in the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland, which is near the kidney. It is the primary stress hormone.  It's functions are to increase sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream, enhance your brain's use of glucose and to increases the availability of substances for tissue repair.  Cortisol also curbs functions that would be nonessential or detrimental in a fight-or-flight situation. It alters immune system responses and suppresses the digestive system, the reproductive system and growth processes. It alerts regions in your brain that control mood, motivation and fear. Stimulant - a substance that temporarily increases the physiologic activity of an organ, a system of organs, or that increases nervous excitability and alertness. Adrenal Gland - One of two small endocrine glands, located above each kidney. The outer part, or adrenal cortex, secretes steroid hormones (corticosteroids). The inner part, or adrenal medulla, secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) - The current name for an ancient system of health care from China. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on a concept of balanced qi (pronounced "chi"), or vital energy, that is believed to flow throughout the body. Qi is proposed to regulate a person's spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance and to be influenced by the opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy). Disease is proposed to result from the flow of qi being disrupted and yin and yang becoming imbalanced. Among the components of TCM are herbal and nutritional therapy, restorative physical exercises, meditation, acupuncture, and remedial massage. Ayurveda - The traditional Hindu system of health and medicine, based on maintaining balance among the five elements earth, air, fire, water, and  ether.  The word Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words “ayur,” meaning life, and "veda,” meaning knowledge. Homeostasis - The tendency of biological systems to maintain relatively constant conditions in the internal environment while continuously interacting with and adjusting to changes originating within or outside the system.   Function Nutrition: B- vitamins (Folate, B-12, etc.) - a group of water-soluble vitamins that have varied metabolic functions and include coenzymes and growth factors. These essential nutrients allow us to convert our food into fuel, keeping us energized throughout the day. Vitamin B5 is very important for the adrenals and therefore helps with modulating stress. Folate and vitamin B12 are important for mood balance, and given the links between anxiety and depression, they may also be helpful for anxiety. B-6 - an important co-factor nutrient that may boost the production of GABA, a calming neurotransmitter.  GABA is  a key factor supporting the production of other neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) such as serotonin. When supplementing with B-6, the conenzyme or active form (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate) is superior to the isolated form (Pyridoxine), because some people can't activate pyridoxine. Folate - Folate has literally hundreds of function in the human body. It helps the body use Iron, Amino Acids, and Vitamin B-12, thus impacting energy on many levels.  It facilitates the synthesis of key neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, that are involved in mood regulation and other important functions. Magnesium - Magnesium is needed for the production of ATP, which is the main energy-producing molecule in the body. When magnesium is deficient our cells produce less energy resulting in fatigue. Magnesium is also the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body, a necessary co-factor for hundreds of enzymes, and the most critical mineral of all for coping with stress. Lithium - Lithium is a mineral that is associated with brain function, mood, focus, and the neurotransmitters dopamine.  It has a wide range of other health benefits including immune health, bone health, and antioxidant support. Zinc - Supports the regulation of key energizing neurotransmitter, dopamine, that supports cognitive function and gives you your drive. It is also key in the metabolization of melatonin, which impacts our quality of sleep.  It's also essential for male and female reproductive health and fertility.  It also impacts strength and athletic performance by regulating the flow testosterone and inulin-like growth growth factor-1 (IGF-1). It's noteworthy that the highest concentrations of zinc found in the body is in our brain! It is a principal factor in modulating the brain and body’s response to stress and key to regulating mood.  Selenium - Support thyroid health and supports hormonal balance impacting energy on many levels. Omega 3's (Fish Oils and Algae) - Essential fatty acids that support a healthy inflammation response, combat depression and promote healthy mood and cognitive function.  Omega 3's also support adrenal function and provide hormone support.  Maintaining healthy a adrenal function is imperative for proper stress management. Lifestyle: Sleep, Diet, Personal Relationships, and Exercise all impact how we feel, how we cope with stress, and how much energy we have.  It's important to not overlook the obvious.  Sleep hygiene -  simple habits that promote quality sleep. Prioritize sleep.  Get what ever it is your body requires (7-9 hrs generally). Try to go to sleep around 10pm, when cortisol levels are at their lowest and melatonin levels are at their highest. Stop eating 2 hours before bedtime, and stop hydrating at least an hour before bedtime.  Create at dark environment to sleep in.  Avoid light before bedtime, including T.V., computers, and smart devices that emit light.  You can even dim the lights ahead of time when you're ready to unwind. Try not to hit that snooze button in the morning.  We don't want to interrupt our hormone and neurotransmitter cycles. Avoid the use stimulants, especially in the afternoon and evening.  Diet - No matter what herbs and supplements you take, you still have to support your body with healthy eating habits. Poor eating habits stress our bodies out and may even affect our mood. Eat lots of fresh fruits and especially vegetables.  Try to get the full color spectrum when selecting fruits and vegetables.  Complete nutrition is essential for stress, mood, and energy support.  We've already mentioned key vitamins, minerals, Omega 3's, etc.  Try to find foods rich in these valuable nutrients that support healthy energy levels and promote a healthy stress response.  You can reference the functional nutrition list above to narrow down your search. Exercise - Try and get a moderate amount of fresh air, sunlight, and exercise.  Don't over exercise! The goal is to promote health, and over training can deplete the adrenal and negatively impact your stress and energy levels negatively.  Do it, but don't over do it! Toxic Relationships - Social engagement is the most evolved way to cope with stress. That's why it is so important to surround yourself with people who do not normally add to your stress load.  If simply being around a particular person provokes a fight or flight response, chances are that's a Toxic Relationship!  Always look to build a strong supporting cast of good people to de-stress with.
