Stress is silently destroying your health.

It’s not just the pressure of work, family, or a busy schedule. Stress is one of the biggest hidden reasons your energy is gone, your hormones feel out of balance, and the weight just won’t budge.

In this episode of The Heal Deal Podcast with Dr. Leona, I reveal how stress acts as a silent destroyer—draining your energy, throwing off your hormones, and keeping your metabolism stuck.

• The difference between short-term protective stress and destructive chronic stress

• How adrenal fatigue, cortisol spikes, and hormone imbalance keep you in survival mode

• Why women over 40 are especially vulnerable to stress-related exhaustion

• The vicious cycle of stress, cravings, and weight gain (and how to break free)

• A simple but powerful reset tool: the Box Breathing Technique

By the end of this episode, you’ll see stress for what it really is—not just an inconvenience, but a major root cause of fatigue, belly fat, and burnout. And most importantly, you’ll know the first steps to start taking your power back.
