How Stress Affects the Body

Total health requires a natural balance between structural, chemical and emotional health. Structural health relates to your muscles, organs, spine and bones; essentially what we think of as our physical body. Chemical health relates to your hormones nutrition and body chemistry. While this may be a less understood area of the body, it is an extremely important one. Thyroid and adrenal hormones as well as estrogen and testosterone are just a few of the hormones that have a big impact on your health. Most everyone understands emotional health and the importance of happy, stress-free life.

However, not everyone understands how all of these lean on each other for total health. When your body faces physical stress, your body chemistry and emotions are affected as well. The same goes when you are emotionally stressed. Your body starts to bear the brunt of it and you feel physically impaired as well.

Dr. Michael McCall understands the importance of keeping structure, chemical and emotional health in balance. He wants to help you reach total health so your body can stay healthy versus continue to slip into pain and illness.
