If your calendar is full and your tank is empty, your hormones may be carrying the cost. In this grounded, practical conversation, Dr. Seth Osgood joins Kathy to unpack how chronic stress from people-pleasing and over-functioning can dysregulate your body’s systems—and what you can start doing today to restore balance with simple, sustainable habits.
Topics Discussed:
- The people-pleasing → stress loop: why “yes” can spike stress chemistry
- Nervous system regulation and its downstream impact on hormones
- Sleep, blood sugar, and morning routines that calm cortisol
- Boundaries as biology: micro-scripts that protect your energy
- Labs vs. lifestyle: what to track, what to try first
- Gentle, doable resets (food, movement, breath) that compound over time
