Feeling the Strain: Understanding Physical Stress with Kristen Maxwell, FNP-C
What if your body is feeling the stress before you even realize you’re stressed? In this episode of the MedLink Health Connections Podcast, Tangela is joined by Kristen Maxwell from the MedLink Habersham office to explore how stress can show up physically, from headaches, muscle tension, and jaw pain to digestive issues, fatigue, sleep problems, and even heart and breathing symptoms. Kristen explains why these symptoms happen and shares practical ways to help your body manage stress, including movement, breathing exercises, better sleep habits, daily pauses, connection, and healthy boundaries. Your body isn't working against you. It may be trying to tell you something. Tune in and learn how to recognize your body's signals, support your well-being, and know when it's time to seek professional help. Thank you for listening to the MedLink Georgia Podcast.
