Have you every felt overwhelmed, frustrated, angry or sadness overcome you?  Perhaps you were at a work meeting and your co-worker threw you under the bus?  Or you were at home and your spouse or children got you so upset you had go to another room to cool off.  

Whenever you have an experience that sets off your emotions, you are releasing stress hormones into your body.  These stress hormones are the underlying cause of diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease.  So if you are like most people in the Washington DC area (or any city for that matter), you are living with some level of constant stress.  This stress is effecting your mental, emotional and physical health. Slowly over time it is the reason you are gaining weight, feeling more tired and letting go of the things that are important to you.

How do I know this?  I know this because we treat people with your exact same issues every day in our office.  As people begin to better understand themselves and get empowered about how to improve their health, their health and lives change.  We have simple but effective lifestyle strategies that create amazing results. Using these healthy habits, in combination with lab work and correcting the stress induced hormonal changes, creates optimal health you didn’t think could exist again.

Today I am going let you in on one of our top secret strategies that makes a world of difference when you learn how to implement it — breathing!  I know you are thinking “I breathe all the time, Dr. Dae.” I know you might think you do this already, but believe it or not, when you are experiencing stress you usually stop breathing. Think about it, if you were almost hit by a car the first thing you would do is hold your breath and jump out of the way.  

Breathing techniques are one of the best ways to manage stress! Thus, there is something you can learn from our stress management class that we have for all those who join our practice.  We focus on education, along with your labs, so that you have a completely different experience with us than you had with any other health professional. It is awesome and it works for you years after you gotten better!

If you are truly ready for a holistic approach to health and wellness, then it’s time you called for your one-on-one consultation or join us at one of our upcoming events!

To Your One Sweet Life,

Dr. Dae
