Stress has been linked to many conditions and diseases including heart disease, diabetes and even cancers. But what is stress exactly? And how can we minimise or cope with it?

In this episode I talk with, nutritionist, speaker, wellness expert and owner of BePure – Ben Warren. We discuss what stress is, how we can test and recognise it in our own lives as well as some really useful tools and strategies to help us manage it. We also go into everything that surrounds stress – food, inflammation, autoimmunity, gut health, resilience and adrenal fatigue.
