How to Beat Chronic Stress: Simple Habits That Actually Calm Your Nervous System

**Most of us are running on chronic stress without knowing it. Not necessarily the dramatic kind — just the relentless, low-grade kind that quietly wrecks your sleep, your hormones, your digestion, and your ability to lose weight no matter how clean you eat or how hard you train.** **In this episode, Kelly sits down with Camilla Thompson — biohacking expert, keynote speaker, and author of *Biohack Me* — to cut through the noise on stress, cortisol, and the nervous system.**  **Together they go deep on why your body gets stuck in survival mode, what cortisol and adrenaline are actually supposed to do (and what happens when they go rogue), and how soothing the vagus nerve — Camilla calls it the queen of your nervous system — is the missing piece most people never address.** **This episode also covers the 3am wake-up problem, why coffee timing matters more than people think, what the DUTCH test reveals about your stress hormones, and the fascinating "C-suite" framework Camilla uses to explain how your stress hormones are supposed to work together — and when they don't.** **One habit comes out on top. It takes five minutes. You can start tomorrow.**
