Stress is not your enemy

It's the natural way of responding to a threat

Stress is not your enemy, it never has been. Nature built it into you for a reason - it wants you to do better, to be better, to survive and thrive!

And even though you know that you need to make some changes, you way too often choose to ignore the signals, hoping instead that stress simply goes away on its own. 

Unfortunately, nature doesn't work that way. 

You either learn to work with it, or it starts to work against you!

You see, stress has utility, nature built it into you for good reason. 

The problem today is that the view of stress has become totally distorted which leads you to misunderstand the purpose it actually serves.

This course is designed to teach you about how stress is expressed in nature and how you can start using that knowledge to your full advantage. 

Not just to improve your health, but also to lead a much more productive life. 

A life that's in balance and in perfect harmony with nature.
