"By retraining my brain, it helps decrease the stress response and hence decrease the exposure to cortisol and the damage it does to our bodies. Also, by making conscious decisions to make better, healthier choices to care for my body's mental and physical health, it not only helps me, but it helps those around me if I bring my best to the table."
