Stress can cause you to feel more pain by increasing the sensitivity of your body. But reducing stress is easier said than done. We recommend two quick things:

- Put a name to what is causing you to feel stress. Is it an emotional factor, an environmental factor, or is something triggered by your diet? If you know the “what”, you can take steps to fix it.
- Use De-Stress herbs that will decrease the level of cortisol, the stress hormone in your body.

- Listen to Binaural Beats at 7.83hz to retrain your brain to reset naturally
- Meditate before bedtime. It's proven to promote better quality of sleep.
- Stretch. Stretching takes away the stress from your muscles and joints.

Most people don’t know what their crisis triggers are. Is it a particular food? Is it stress? Is it a change in the weather? If you maintain a log of your crisis incidents and what brought them on, you can better avoid situations that lead to crisis and pain.

Individuals who have a poor diet are up to 120 times more likely to experience chronic pain. Avoid processed sugars, dairy, red meat and bad oils like Canola. Instead go with lean meats, fruits, green vegetables, and herbal teas.
