Part 2: (Midlife) Stress Becomes Physical
Stress in your 30s?
Maybe it gave you a breakout or a restless night.
Stress in your 40s?
It starts showing up as elevated blood pressure, weight gain around the middle, and digestive issues you can’t ignore.
Add in career demands, family responsibilities, and maybe even caring for aging parents, and you’ve got a recipe for chronic stress.
But here’s the gift of 40: You realize stress management isn’t a luxury, it’s survival.
Long walks along Carlsbad’s coastline, surf sessions at Terramar, or nature breaks at Hosp Grove Park all give your body a reset button.
Local studios offering Reiki, yoga, or breathwork provide tools to bring cortisol levels back down.
Bottom line: Stress is louder in your 40s, but so are the solutions. Prioritizing calm now pays off with years of stronger health.
