Staying Sharp and Smart as a Woman Ages
Is stress all bad?! No! It can be highly motivational, making sure we do our jobs and take care of our families. But it's all about when that stress becomes too much, and we don't know how to manage it in healthy ways.

This is when under or over-eating comes in and many other negative coping mechanisms that we associate with being stressed out.

So today, Dr. Sonja Billes joins Dr. Pam to discuss what stress is, how it affects your brain, herbal remedies, and maintaining close personal networks & support systems as we age.
