Today we’re joined by the wonderful Deborah Freudenmann naturopath, author, and mum who is passionate about root-cause health and disease prevention. In this episode, Deborah shares her personal story of living with type 1 diabetes, navigating postpartum stress and anxiety, and what she’s learned about the profound impact stress has on our bodies. We dive into why stress regulation is more than “calming down” it’s disease prevention and how to build your own personal toolkit for resilience.
We chat all things:
• Deborah’s personal journey with stress and motherhood
• What actually happens in the body under chronic stress
• Why supplements and one-size-fits-all toolkits don’t work
• How to experiment and find the stress tools that are truly yours
• The invisible link between a mother’s regulation and her child’s
• Simple, realistic practices to weave into your day
