Does a high-stress life increase cancer risk?

How often do you hear someone say, “I’m so stressed!”? I hate to admit it, but I say it a few times a week.

I used to think being “busy” was part of my identity. Staying busy made me feel like I was achieving important things. But during my cancer journey, I realized I didn’t have the energy to stay busy all the time. I began to see how stressed I was from constantly being in motion.

Today’s podcast guest is Kerstin Lindquist, a QVC host and stress management expert. After witnessing her mother’s struggle with dementia and seeing “black spots” on her brain scan that doctors attributed to stress, Kerstin researched and discovered key strategies to help lower stress in your life.

I had two key questions for Kerstin:

Are some people better at handling stress?
How do kids handle stress compared to adults?

I can’t wait for you to hear her answers! I walked away from today’s episode with several EASY tips to lower my stress. One suggestion took me just a few seconds to try and I already feel less stressed. Spoiler alert: it involves adjusting the brightness on your cell phone.
