A recent large Swedish study, involving more than two thousand people, including both men and women, found a relationship between the high levels of cortisol (stress hormone) in the blood and the thinning of the brain.
The people with a higher level of cortisol also showed symptoms such as bad memory. This is not the only study which found chronic stress having the effect on the size of our brains, another study conducted in 2017 showed a similar effect related to chronic work stress and that it could be reversed by giving workers respite and with the help of cognitive therapy. One theory why stress has become so toxic in recent times is lifestyle. In our clinic, Dr Bhatti has been practising Lifestyle Medicine for more than 25 years to help with emotional and physical stress and stress related disorders using a combination of Complementary Therapies with excellent results.

Stress is an everyday part of life. If you are suffering from acute or chronic medical conditions there would be some degree of anxiety and stress related to it. Over 75% of our Primary Care doctor visits are due to stress related illness.
Stress can be triggered by events or circumstances in anyone's life such as bereavement, relationship breakdown, financial problems, exams, adverse working conditions, bullying, injury, after giving birth, after an accident, after any trauma, if you are suffering from a chronic painful condition, or any prolonged illness. Chronic and prolonged stress leads to higher levels of stress hormones which in turn can lead to higher levels of inflammatory cytokines(messenger cells), resulting in chronic inflammation in our body and brain and has the capability of affecting nearly every organ in our body, sometimes leading to Autoimmune Disorders or other stress related illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, paralysis, depression, digestive disorders, skin diseases, cancer and much more, thats why it is important to consult your G.P first to rule out any serious illness or before starting any regime. Many of us do not associate our symptoms with a response to some ongoing stress in our daily life. That's why it is essential to identify the early signs of stress and do something about it in order to avoid the sometimes devastating but avoidable consequences. Recent findings confirm that stress is a factor in five out six major cause of death-Heart disease, Stroke, Cancer, Lower respiratory disease, and Accidents.

Most people at some stage have experienced disrupted sleep patterns due to either external factors or some kind of stress/upset, such as bereavement or financial strains. Insomnia, however, is defined by an individual having problems falling asleep, maintaining sleep or experiencing non-restorative sleep on a regular or frequent basis. Pain is one of the most common causes of insomnia.
Caffeine, alcohol and stimulants such as nicotine contribute to sleep disturbance. Health conditions that often lead to insomnia include: hyper-thyroidism, painful conditions, muscular or otherwise, digestive disorders such as reflux, hiatus hernia, stomach ulcers, irritable bowel, nocturnal asthma, heart failure, blocked nose, sinus problems, restless leg syndrome, stress, anxiety and depression. Consult your GP first if you suffer from any of the above or for any medical advice. If you are suffering with insomnia, do not nap in the day and go to bed as soon as you feel tired. Eat an evening meal high in complex carbohydrates, e.g. boiled rice and avoid heavy meals and sugary foods in the evening as they either stimulate the system or are hard to digest. One of the most successful complementary approaches to insomnia is acupuncture. In our clinic we offer evidence based therapies such as Needle free laser Acupuncture which can work on balancing the neurological, emotional, muscular and energetic systems.Mindfulness, Massage, Aromatherapy, Reflexology, and Yoga can also assist sleep. Complex Homeopathy, Herbs and Physiological Regulating Medicine(P.R.M) can be of great help and gives excellent results. In our clinic we use a multi pronged approach in treating this and many other conditions with evidence based therapies such as Low Dose Medicine (L.D.M,), gut health and microbiome restoration, nutritional and nutraceutical therapies, lifestyle medicine, natural hormonal balancing, glandular support, soft tissue and joint support, complex homeopathy, herbals, needle free mesotherapy and needle free acupuncture to achieve excellent results.

Work stress can raise risk of premature death in vulnerable men in a new study. Men with diabetes, heart disease and job strain have 68% higher risk of early death. Scientists say the findings of a 14 year old study clearly shows the high toll work related stress can have on the most vulnerable men. Hence they recommend that companies and employers need to help these men by reshaping their jobs, redirecting their work load or offering early retirement on health grounds. CAUSES OF WORK STRESS

Recent studies have shown that just educating people about nutrition and healthy low calorie foods alone is not enough.
The study found that the majority of this group of people who are obese and overweight have a different attitude towards food, to them the taste of the food supersedes everything else, and they were found to have a totally different attitude towards exercise and healthy living. They hardly pay any attention to food labels and usually do impulsive buying and eat inexpensive and high calorie food items. Many believe that healthy foods are more expensive. Studies confirmed that most overweight people were aware that they should eat healthy but they would still ignore the nutritional labels and would opt for cakes, biscuits, pastries, buns, fizzy drinks and fried foods. These foods are full of trans fat, saturated fats, high sugar content and may contain colourings and preservatives. They also have a preference to ready meals quick snacks and a high carb diet rather than preparing and cooking a healthy meal. This lifestyle can easily lead to disease like Diabetes, Heart disease, High blood pressure, Strokes, Digestive disorders, inflammatory conditions, Arthritis and Cancer. Stress and Depression can play a big part towards impulse eating which can lead to stress related illnesses. People suffering from Candida and leaky gut syndrome can also lead to cravings, impulsive and emotional eating, they would usually prefer large portions and go for second and third helpings.

Hay fever (acute seasonal allergic rhinitis) is the most common type of allergy. Symptoms include itchy red eyes also known as allergic conjunctivitis, watery discharge from the nose and eyes, sneezing, fatigue, headache and nervous irritability. Symptoms of common cold affects 30% of the population worldwide mimic post nasal drip of mucus can lead to a cough, nose bleed in severe cases. Tree and grass pollen is the cause of hay fever in spring and summer-time but perennial allergic rhinitis can be caused by some or all of the following: animal hair; dust, feathers, fungus spores and moulds, the symptoms of which can stay with you in any part of the year. Some of us are born to be allergic from birth it occurs in both males and females and anywhere in the world, hay fever is not contagious. More than half of hay fever suffers complain of being tired, run down, irritable and find it hard to stay focused which is turn can sometimes lead to sick days and time of work. The sale of antihistamines goes considerably higher in this season. The best defence is to avoid contact with the allergen; however this is not always possible. The use of dust mite covers on your mattress, pillows and duvet can help. Avoid cigarette smoke and using perfumed cosmetics and sprays. You can make your body better able to cope with the allergen, by removing the substances in your diet that are putting your immune system under strain. Some of the substances best avoided include: alcohol, coffee, food additives, colourings and preservatives, junk food, white flour and its products such as cakes, pastries, biscuits and buns. Eat a well-balanced whole food diet rich in fruit and vegetables, whole grains such as brown rice and raw nuts and seeds. Foods that are rich in magnesium are thought to help prevent and reduce symptoms of hay fever. These include; bananas, kidney beans, soy beans, lima beans, almonds, whole-wheat flour, brown rice, molasses and peas. Medical needle free acupuncture and laser acupuncture can work well for allergies. We also use a combination of therapies such as mindfulness, homeopathy, CBT techniques among other therapies to help stress, anxiety and irritability.
