Understanding Stress

Stress has always been a part of life.

It has served us well in our evolutionary journey, helping to keep us safe.

Research confirms what many suspects: that living with ongoing stress affects our health and significantly contributes to illness and disease.

The Stress and Wellbeing in Australia Survey 2014, conducted by the Australian Psychological Society, found 72 per cent of Australians reported their current stress levels had an negative impact on their physical health.

However, stress in our modern world has an intensity and consistency we have never experienced before, and comes in many forms, some of which most people are not even aware of, and it comes in many forms.

In order to solve a problem… like ‘stress’ … it is important to understand it as best we can.

Bulit on over 40 years of clinical experience, UnstressHEALTH takes a unique holistic perspective on defining, identify and minimising those stresses which negatively affects our health, by compromising our immune system and promoting chronic inflammation…the common denominators in all diseases, physical and mental.

There are 5 stressors to identify and minimise and they include:

  • Emotional 
  • Nutritional
  • Environmental
  • Postural
  • Dental


Finding a balance is key
