Understanding and Managing Stress & Overwhelm: A Comprehensive Guide

Stress and overwhelm are common experiences in today’s fast-paced world, affecting many individuals’ mental and physical health. 

At Elive Health, we understand the importance of addressing these conditions through personalized, data-driven wellness solutions.

What is Stress & Overwhelm?

Stress is the body’s natural response to challenging or demanding situations. It can be triggered by various factors, including work pressures, personal issues, or environmental changes. 

Overwhelm, on the other hand, occurs when stress becomes excessive, making it difficult to cope with daily tasks and responsibilities.

What Causes Stress & Overwhelm?

Several factors can contribute to stress and overwhelm, including:

  • Work-Related Pressures: Tight deadlines, high expectations, and job insecurity can lead to significant stress.
  • Personal Issues: Relationship problems, financial difficulties, and family responsibilities can be overwhelming.
  • Environmental Factors: Noise, pollution, and living in a high-crime area can contribute to stress.
  • Health Concerns: Chronic illness, injuries, and physical pain can be sources of stress.
  • Lifestyle Choices: Poor diet, lack of exercise, and inadequate sleep can exacerbate stress levels

What Symptoms Will I Experience with Adrenal Fatigue?
