Ever feel… for lack of a better word… STALE? Not sick, not injured — Just puffy, sluggish, maybe a little achy or foggy for no clear reason. It could be something most people (even Los Gatos personal trainers) don’t talk about enough: STRESS and INFLAMMATION. When your nervous system is always “on alert,” your body gets stuck in a constant state of mind stress… And that triggers low-grade inflammation that can mess with everything from your digestion and hormones to your recovery, cravings, and mood. Our experienced Los Gatos personal trainers work with clients who often feel stuck or sluggish, despite doing all the 'right' things. The missing link? Chronic, low-grade stress = chronic, low-grade inflammation. This is why it’s so important to manage your stress before it manages YOU! Taking 3 slow breaths before a meal. This shifts your body into “rest + digest” mode so you can actually absorb the nutrients you’re eating. Getting outside for a few minutes of sun and/or fresh air Trying this amazingly effective trick called the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique, which helps you be back “in the moment” in just a few short seconds: 5 – name five things you can see Try it right now! Pretty cool, right? It works by connecting you to your senses and your environment. All of the actions we mentioned above might seem simple, but they really do add up… and they’re just as important for inflammation as any superfood or supplement. If you’re feeling tired, wired, or like you're constantly on edge, our compassionate Los Gatos personal fitness trainers are here to guide you on your journey to success.
