“One of the key epiphanies for me was when the impact of stress can occur. I always thought of it as a real time occurrence. You’d experience the physical symptoms when your stress was at its peak. For me, I found this not to be true and was part of the reason why my physical symptoms went undiagnosed by specialist after specialist for over a year. My stressful time had passed. But I kept pushing. And my body finally said enough is enough. It said “I helped you get through the stressful period and took care of you. Now you need to take care of me.”

You may think, with this book’s title, it’s about being calm and cool in the face of pressure. It’s actually quite the opposite and more literal. My body actually stopped sweating. This was one of a variety of unusual health issues I
faced, partially or wholly brought on by stress. And I had to learn how to get my body to sweat again naturally as no pill or prescription was going to help me. My solution to this and other issues were going to come from within.
With people becoming more aware about stress and its incredible health impacts, many of us have found that we can pay a hefty price if we ignore or don’t acknowledge it. And I believe it frequently goes undiagnosed in the medical community.
This book is about my journey, one I think many of you can relate to. This is not about what I’ve overcome. It’s about what I’ve learned in the hope it can help others. In this book I will share you with my journey and the key lessons I’ve
learned along the way.
