[![](https://blog.palmhealth.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Stress-Tips-Blog.jpeg)](https://blog.palmhealth.com/finding-your-stress-management-skill-set) ## [Finding Your Stress Management Skill Set](https://blog.palmhealth.com/finding-your-stress-management-skill-set) What causes stress in your life? Take a few minutes and think about it. Are answers such as work, family commitments, relationship conflicts, or health concerns coming to mind? These common daily stressors affect everyone on some level. But stress often has root causes that go deeper than just what is going on at work or in your personal life. According to Julie Geeting, LPC, NBC-HWC, “Your stressors and their roots are influenced by your personality and your habits, as well as things happening on a larger scale in the world.” Global issues such as war o...

You probably know how important it is to pay attention to what you’re putting in your body — if your diet is rich with nutritionally dense foods like vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and healthy fats, your gut will be healthier, your brain will function better, and your risk of chronic disease will decrease. In short, you have to feed your body wel...

It also means it’s time for a new skincare routine. The seasonal transition into heat, humidity, and UV exposure changes how your skin behaves, and your products and habits should reflect that change. So, what happens to your skin in the summertime? For one, the hot weather results in more water loss from your body, which can cause dehydration. The high temperatures and humidity levels also increase the activity of your sebaceous glands and sweat glands, leading to more sebum, or oil, produ...

If so, there may be a biochemical reason the number on the scale keeps creeping up. As you age, your body becomes much more susceptible to inflammation and less resistant to hormonal and environmental fluctuations. The good news is that you can take steps to control your own biology and optimize your body’s natural functions. As all of the processes within your body and the factors that influence them are connected, regulating what goes on around you and what goes into your body, als...

Chances are, you’re one of the 24 million Americans who experience seasonal allergies, and you’re familiar with the toll it can take on your body. Due to both the symptoms of seasonal allergies, and the physiological process your body goes through when reacting to an allergen, your health can suffer more than usual during this time of year. And oftentimes, allergy medicines only provide temporary relief. It’s important to keep in mind your body’s overall well-being when dealing wi...

Maybe you’ve tried one or two of these diets or quick-fix workout routines with the intention of losing a few pounds, but the number on the scale didn’t budge. Or maybe you lost weight, but had trouble keeping it off later on. Drastic diets, calorie restriction, and over-exercising are some of the most common ways to try and lose weight, but more often than not, the results don’t live up to the hype.
