Observing my son's physiology as he was going up to bat, I could tell something was off. Normally a very consistent hitter he has come into a slump and the path to success seemed obvious to me.

Subconsciously, this gave his body permission to effectively "leave it all out on the canvas" as he didn't have to worry about saving anything for a training session the next day. His competitors on the other hand, were back at the gym the next morning. Have a...

In today's fast-paced and often stressful world, many individuals find themselves with an overactive SNS, or in a chronically "sympathetic dominant" state. How does sugar play into this?
