Wellness Wednesday with Dr. Olivia 💚
Today, we’re diving into a topic that impacts so many families without them even realizing it: cortisol addiction.
Parents under chronic stress often feel “wired but tired,” constantly managing a crisis, overscheduling, or struggling to relax. This creates ripple effects—emotionally, physically, and behaviorally—not just for the parent, but for their children too. Research shows that kids can actually mirror their parents’ stress patterns, leading to headaches, emotional dysregulation, perfectionism, low energy, and more.
Dr. Olivia breaks down:
✨ The physical signs
✨ The emotional + behavioral red flags
✨ How children respond to elevated family stress
✨ Why this cycle becomes so hard to break
The good news? Awareness is powerful. When you understand what’s happening in your nervous system, you can begin restoring balance for yourself and your child.
Your body isn’t meant to live in survival mode forever.
We’re here to support you every step of the way. 💛
