“How can I tell if my client is pushed to their limits?”
“Can some amount of stress actually be beneficial for us?”
“I have heard of a positive mindset before. But how can this help my client?”
“I am feeling so unproductive lately. Could it be that I’m experiencing burnout?”
“I’m pregnant, working full-time, and taking care of a household. Could this be affecting my baby?”
“I enjoy exercise. So if I work out more, then I’ll be calmer right?”
“My boss has a temper and takes it out on us workers. How can I cope in that situation?”
“I eat more junk food when I have deadlines or too much to do. How do I stop that?”
(Yes, we get questions like these even from medical doctors and university-trained dietitians and nutritionists).
Questions like these inspired us to bring practical science directly to those who want to help clients feel calmer when faced with challenges and difficulties in the right way.
This advanced training is our combined know-how in stress science, neurochemistry, endocrinology, and psychology.
If you want to help your client feel less stressed out, you need to understand what is contributing to their feeling stressed in the first place and how to help them understand their own triggers.
So how do you do it?
Fortunately, that's exactly what you're about to learn.
This also brings incredible opportunities.
Unfortunately, there's a massive knowledge gap about the role of a stress management coach in helping a client.
Many professionals believe that the goal is to help the client avoid all unwanted stressors in their life.
But this is impossible!
While it's not always possible to avoid or to reduce the number of unwanted stressors in life, we can certainly change how we perceive, react to, or deal with them.
And that is where stress management and building stress resilience comes into play!
Can stress be beneficial for us?
Are there coping mechanisms which function better than others?
What is the link between our thoughts, emotions, and actions?
Can stress increase anger levels?
Could stress be leading to less productive workers?
Are there foods which can exacerbate our stress levels?
Are there foods which help to alleviate stress levels?

Every day, we are confronted by challenges in life: the to-do list is lengthening; you have an emotionally draining argument; the car won't start; the child won't stop crying; you are worried about a meeting you have to run.
It's how we respond to these events that is critical and is the difference between us seeing them as a "challenge" or as a "problem".
This is where the cognitive triad comes into play.
The theory behind the cognitive triad is that thoughts and beliefs trigger emotions and feelings, which then lead to actions and behaviours.
This process is crucial to understand if you want to help clients manage their own stress levels and build stress resilience.

In general, 80% of individuals change their diet when they feel they are having a hard time handling pressure. Not only that, what we eat can actually affect our mood, in part because of the regulation of hormones. This means that our nutrition and diet has a large influence on our levels of stress.
