Seriously? A 97-year-old power lifter https://www.facebook.com/DrGoldsOptimalLiving/videos/284299175799736/?t=83 Lift that  Many would be hard-pressed to lift 160 pounds, let alone if you’re 97 years old.

In this blog, I will define stress, why we all have it and what you can do to manage it better. What is Stress? It’s your body’s response to physical or emotional circumstances, that causes chemical changes to occur in the body. All humans experience this and it’s perfectly normal.
