In today’s high-pressure world, stress is practically unavoidable. But according to Dr. Joel Wallach, its impact goes far beyond feeling overwhelmed. Chronic stress affects your body at a cellular level—disrupting digestion, weakening immunity, and even interfering with your ability to absorb vital nutrients.
Let’s break down how stress affects your body and how Youngevity supplements can help you fight back, feel better, and regain control.
1. Stress Disrupts Nutrient Absorption
When you're stressed, your body releases cortisol, a hormone that interferes with digestion and blocks nutrient absorption—especially minerals like calcium and magnesium. Over time, this can lead to deficiencies that worsen the effects of stress, including fatigue, muscle tension, and weakened bones.
Youngevity’s Beyond Tangy Tangerine® offers a potent blend of highly absorbable vitamins and minerals to replenish what stress depletes—keeping your body strong, nourished, and resilient.
2. It Weakens Your Immune System
Chronic stress drains your body's reserves of Vitamin C, Zinc, Selenium, and other immune-essential nutrients. This leaves you more vulnerable to illness and slows down recovery.
To stay protected, try Youngevity’s ZRadical™ and Ultimate Selenium™—formulas rich in antioxidants and minerals that strengthen immune function and help your body bounce back faster, even under pressure.
3. It Impacts Mental and Emotional Balance
Stress also takes a toll on your brain, disrupting neurotransmitters that regulate mood, focus, and mental energy. This can lead to anxiety, irritability, and brain fog.
Ultimate EFA™, packed with Omega-3s, supports brain health and emotional well-being, while Rebound FX™ delivers adaptogenic herbs and nutrients that boost mental resilience and help restore emotional balance.
4. It Triggers Inflammation
One of the lesser-known effects of chronic stress is inflammation, which can lead to joint pain, digestive issues, and cardiovascular strain. Dr. Wallach emphasizes that reducing inflammation is key to managing long-term stress.
Ultimate Gluco-Gel™ and Triple Treat Chocolate™ provide powerful anti-inflammatory compounds like glucosamine, chondroitin, and antioxidants to help ease inflammation and protect your health.
5. It Disrupts Sleep
Poor sleep is both a symptom and a cause of stress. When you’re not sleeping well, your body doesn’t get a chance to recover and reset, which makes stress even worse.
Youngevity’s Relax™ and Ultimate Cal™ use calming ingredients like magnesium, chamomile, and melatonin to help you unwind, sleep soundly, and wake up feeling restored.
6. It Throws Hormones Out of Balance
Prolonged stress can wreak havoc on your hormones, especially cortisol—affecting everything from your weight and mood to your metabolism.
Youngevity’s Ultimate Daily Classic™ and Balance FX™ are formulated to support hormone regulation, helping your body maintain balance even in stressful times.

Stress doesn’t just affect how you feel—it affects how your body functions.
With Dr. Wallach’s guidance and Youngevity’s powerful supplement line, you can give your body the nutritional tools it needs to manage stress from the inside out.
