As we recognize National Stress Awareness Month, we sit down with Dr. Stephen Palte, Chief Medical Officer for UnitedHealthcare of Georgia, to explore the real impact of stress on our minds and bodies. Dr. Palte breaks down what stress really is, why it matters, and how it can silently lead to serious health conditions like heart disease and depression if left unchecked. He shares practical, science-backed tips for managing stress—whether at work, at home, or in everyday life—and offers a fresh perspective on how Georgians can build resilience and maintain both mental and physical well-being. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
