Stress Awareness Month is the perfect time to launch the 'WISE Approach Podcast' as we explore various evidence-based lifestyle medicine techniques to promote long-term physical and emotional wellbeing, ultimately aiding in stress reduction.
Stress is the natural response to challenging situations brought upon by modern life, but when left unmanaged, it can take a toll on our physical and mental health.
However, through coach-led lifestyle medicine techniques advocated by WISE, individuals can gradually alleviate the burden of stress on their physical and mental health over time.
By addressing underlying causes and empowering individuals to cultivate resilience, WISE aims to guide individuals towards a healthier, stress-resilient lifestyle.
