PGP 783 Stress and Its Impact on Physical Health: Managing the Silent Killer

Welcome to another insightful episode of the Pestgeek Podcast with holistic pest control management specialist Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez! In this compelling video, Franklin opens up about his personal journey with stress and its profound impact on his physical health. He shares invaluable lessons learned along the way, offering a relatable and heartfelt narrative that many can identify with.

Franklin begins by describing the overwhelming stress he faced while managing both his business and personal life. Balancing the demands of running a business and dealing with home-related issues created an intense pressure cooker environment. Over several years, he found himself constantly battling colds, unaware that these recurring illnesses were actually stress-related.

Building a business from the ground up, managing employees, and handling high-pressure situations contributed significantly to his stress levels. Franklin's approach to stress was to internalize it, a coping mechanism that eventually led to severe physical symptoms. He experienced debilitating back pain, which became so intense that he required regular sessions with a massage therapist to find relief.

The year 2017 was particularly challenging for Franklin. He faced a trifecta of stressors that pushed his health to the brink. First, a hurricane loomed, creating a high-stress situation as he prepared for the storm. Compounding this, he had been without his blood pressure medication for a week due to a discontinuation, which caused his blood pressure to spike dangerously. To top it off, personal issues came to a head when his wife asked for a divorce. The combination of these stressors led to severe chest pains and an alarming spike in his blood pressure, reaching levels as high as 160 over 110.

This health crisis prompted Franklin to seek medical attention urgently. After undergoing extensive tests, including a calcium score test, it was confirmed that his heart was healthy. Despite the severe symptoms, his heart showed no signs of disease, plaque, or valve damage. The doctors concluded that his symptoms were purely stress-related, highlighting the profound impact that stress can have on physical health.

Throughout this ordeal, Franklin learned valuable lessons about managing stress and taking care of his health. He realized the importance of not internalizing stress and finding healthier ways to cope with pressure. His story is a powerful reminder of how crucial it is to address stress proactively and seek support when needed.
