Unlock Your Brain’s Hidden Power: Reduce Stress and Stop Burnout

Have you ever felt like stress is draining your energy, focus, and resilience—no matter how much you try to manage it? What if stress isn’t just about what’s happening around you, but about how your brain and body process it behind the scenes?

In this episode, Dr. Greg Kelly joins Dr. Aimie to dive into the hidden biology of stress and uncover how it consumes your mental bandwidth, disrupts your brain’s energy supply, and impacts your ability to think clearly and recover from challenges. You’ll discover how your brain’s prediction systems influence your stress response—and, more importantly, how to work with them to prevent burnout and build lasting resilience.

Dr. Kelly is an expert in integrative and functional medicine with years of experience researching how the brain and body handle stress. He has worked extensively on strategies to enhance resilience, combining his deep knowledge of neurobiology, nutrition, and the body’s natural stress-response mechanisms.

If you’re ready to stop feeling like stress is always one step ahead of you, this conversation will give you the tools to take back control and create more space for clarity, focus, and well-being in your life.

Supplement Recommendations:

  • If you want to speed up your process, you can use our Tri-Magnesium Power – Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, and it is critical for supporting the nervous system. Chronic stress depletes magnesium, causing a vicious cycle of stress and magnesium deficiency. Magnesium can help to shift and rewire the nervous system after chronic stress and trauma.
