Our practitioners acknowledge that stress and anxiety are not only states of the brain or mindset.  We aim to educate and address the physiological changes or symptoms that occur due to stress by enhancing your internal environment to help you cope.

Stress, Anxiety, and Our Bodies

In today’s society, stress and anxiety have become the norm for many people, affecting not just mental well-being but also physical health. At BPHAC, we believe in addressing the root causes of health concerns, including the impact of stress and anxiety on the body’s physical functioning.

Our Bodies’ Stress Response

You may have heard of “fight-or-flight.”  This is the body’s physiological response when we’re faced with a stressful situation.  It is mediated by the release of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which prepare the body to either confront the stressor or flee from it. While this response is essential for survival in acute situations, prolonged exposure to stress can have detrimental effects on overall health.

The Impact of Stress & Anxiety on Physical Health

Some of the most common effects stress and anxiety have on our physical health are as follows:

• Immune System Suppression
• Cardiovascular Health
