The number one complaint of Americans today is “Stress”. We have stress from work, stress from traffic, stress from our family responsibilities, stress from the fast pace of our modern lifestyle. So what is stress?

Stress is what happens when our body perceives that our world is not safe. Stress physiology is our bodies’ response that prepares us to deal with the threat.

Imagine you’re home relaxing, deep in thought. All of a sudden, you smell smoke, and a split second later you hear the smoke detector go off. Think what would happen in your body. Can you imagine that first sharp intake of breath to force oxygen to your muscles? Can you feel your heart rate and blood pressure immediately soaring and your muscles get tight as your body gets you ready to run and take care of that fire?

You may also have noticed that any deep thoughts and feelings of relaxation are gone. Your body has shifted blood from the higher parts of your brain to your muscles to help you respond to this emergency. What you might not be able to feel, is that your body has also shut down the parts of your body it doesn’t immediately need. Parts like the digestive system and the immune system.

Imagine now that you’ve run into the kitchen and taken that burnt pizza that you forgot about out of the oven and doused it the sink. Eventually, your body would return to its normal state.

Our body responds the exact same way to all stress. The thing that happens in our lives is that we are so stressed, we tend to take on more and more stress, before our body has a chance to reset out of stress physiology.

The long term detrimental effects of stress are well documented.
Research has shown Network Care can help the body reset the stress physiology, allowing us to dissipate stress that’s stored in the system. It also creates new strategies for responding to stress so that when new stresses come in, they are dealt with with ease.
