In this segment on Breakfast with Bridgett, Dr. Brooke Stuart, a holistic and functional medicine doctor, focuses on managing stress and anxiety, especially during the holiday season, through a holistic approach to wellbeing. Dr. Stuart emphasizes the importance of connecting with stress and not magnifying it, but rather understanding its root causes and learning from it. She discusses the use of holistic counseling and functional medicine to address mindset, diet, and lifestyle factors contributing to stress. Dr. Stuart highlights the significance of returning to the present moment, connecting with the heart to shift the nervous system into a calm state, and empowering individuals to choose how they perceive and interact with stress. By focusing on self-awareness, choosing one's response to stress, and using inner resources, individuals can navigate stress in a more empowering way.
