99: The one about Allostatic Overload

Heather and Robyn are back to co-host this episode of RD Real Talk, talking about stress, and Allostatic Load (or overload). We're both in a certain phase of life where "overwhelm" comes easily, and we have to consistently reassess how much our buckets can hold. Allostatic Load: "Stressed or stressed out: What is the difference?"  Robyn wrote a great blog post about Allostatic load, so if you want to dive in further, read on.  Things we discuss:  how running can be part of joyful movement and a balanced relationship with health <> exercise  why I (Heather) didn't go after that half-marathon PR  real life, imperfect human moments how to tell when your bucket might be WAY TOO full Questions or feedback, or just a story about allostatic load in your life?
