Dr. Sara's Top 12 De-Stressors!
- Download GPS for the Soul for your iPhone right here . If you're an overachiever, check out the advanced version right here.
- Download the "iPromise" app for your iPhone right here. It's a 7-minute yoga practice with Mark Whitwell of Heart of Yoga.
- Eat dark chocolate. Make it > 80% cacao, make it raw, and definitely make it organic!
- Practice yoga. Here's just one pose that I happen to love!
- Take phosphatidyl serine, 400 mg once per day. While you're at it, take omega-3s, 2000 mg once or twice per day.
- Chi walking! This is a cross between Tai Chi and Walking - and it can help you burn more calories, bank your energy, and prevent injury.
- Light a candle and stare at it for 3 minutes.
- Put yourself on a screen curfew after 7 pm -- screens (TV, tablets, laptops) rob you of melatonin and disrupt your inner clock.
- Detox off the social lube. Sad but true, alcohol raises cortisol and robs you of deep sleep! Watch this short video to learn more (hint: it's me on Ricki Lake!).
- Holy basil. I like to add the powder to my breakfast shake!
- My Favorite, Detox-ing Breakfast Smoothie!
- Best way to reset stress hormones? Orgasm.
