Clients don’t want nearly the depth of information

you think they want.

If can whittle down what you share to the most relevant information that will make the biggest IMPACT, then you

are of MUCH GREATER VALUE to your client.

The more CURATED your information is, the more IMPACT you make.

The Only Nutrition, Health & Wellness Knowledge That Matters…

Any knowledge that helps you clients….COPE BETTER WITH and/or REDUCE STRESS

Dictionary Definition Of Stress• “A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from

adverse or very demanding circumstances.”

• “Pressure or tension exerted on a material object.”

The moment stress is activated…• Heart rate speeds up

• Blood pressure increases

• Respiration quickens

• Adrenaline, nonadrenaline and cortisol released

• Blood flow is routed away from digestion and to the arms and legs

• Digestion system shuts down

The brain cannot differentiate between REAL and IMAGINED stress.

Central Nervous System (CNS)• The portion of the Central Nervous System (CNS) that affects digestion the

most is called the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).

• ANS can turn ON digestion, or turn OFF digestion

• ANS has two “branches”:1. Sympathetic Nervous System2. Parasympathetic Nervous System

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)• Sympathetic Nervous System

• Turns ON stress; Turns OFF digestion

• Parasympathetic Nervous System

• Turns OFF stress; Turns ON digestion

• What this means for you and for your clients is PROFOUND

Profound Paradigm Shift• Eating healthy food and taking healthy actions are ONLY HALF THE

EQUATION.
