In this Live, "How to reach summer without stress" by be levels, we address how to manage stress and improve well-being by understanding and regulating biorhythms. The Live features Dr. Antonio Hernández, Medical Director and Co-Founder of be levels, Roger Pérez (Nutritionist and Master in Physiology and Immune System), and David Lanzas (Business Psychologist and Trauma Expert), who offer different perspectives and tools. Topics we explore The Importance of Biorhythms Dr. Antonio Hernández explains that biorhythms are the biological physiological rhythms associated with the time of day [06:44]. These rhythms are fundamental to the proper functioning of the organism, including hormone release (such as catecholamines, cortisol, testosterone, and melatonin), intestinal motility, neuromuscular relaxation, and cognitive and muscular efficiency [06:55]. An imbalance in biorhythms can lead to sleep problems, fatigue, mood swings, loss of muscle mass, systemic inflammation, and metabolic and neurodegenerative pathologies [10:27]. Products to regulate Biorhythms Be levels offers several nutritional supplements to support the regulation of biorhythms: Chill mood: Helps improve sleep and relax the nervous system, containing melatonin, glycine, tryptophan, magnesium, and GABA [13:58]. Wake up mood: Designed to activate morning biorhythms, it is a coffee substitute that includes L-tyrosine, ginkgo biloba, bacopa, acetylcarnitine, niacin, taurine, alpha-lipoic acid, ginseng, and selenium [15:35]. Be calm: An adaptogen that helps the body adapt better to stress, with ingredients like ashwagandha, reishi, lavender extract, rhodiola, L-theanine, glycine, and magnesium [19:11]. Triple Magnesium: A magnesium product that focuses on nervous system relaxation and reducing neuroinflammation, using magnesium bisglycinate, citrate, and acetyl taurinate [21:47]. These supplements can be combined, and it is recommended to take them following specific advice, such as taking Chill Mood an hour before sleep and ensuring enough time has passed since the last meal to avoid insulin interaction [01:15:47]. Healthy Habits and Disconnection Roger Pérez emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with the sensations of one's own body [28:33]. He proposes four natural and free habits or stimuli: Eliminate the unnecessary: Identify and eliminate activities performed out of inertia or obligation that generate stress [37:49]. Movement: Use physical exercise as medicine to discharge stress and elevated catecholamines [38:51]. Conscious breathing: Practice slow, deep breaths to calm the nervous system [39:51]. Avoid multitasking: Concentrate on one task at a time and allow yourself pauses to process and consolidate the completed action [40:23]. David Lanzas, for his part, addresses disconnecting from stress and anxiety [43:04]. He highlights that stress is a feeling of being overwhelmed by present demands, while anxiety is an emotion oriented toward the future [43:33]. The difficulty in disconnecting stems from a lack of habit and an identification with productivity, which generates guilt and boredom. To manage stress, he suggests: Stop: Put down what you are doing and change environments if possible [56:35]. Emotional release: Use tools like audio recordings or writing to release worries [57:23]. Body activation: Perform stretches or squats to regulate the nervous system [58:39]. Observe calm: Seek external stimuli that evoke tranquility [59:18]. Furthermore, he proposes the "friendly message" technique to emotionally validate what one is feeling, which helps reduce stress levels before seeking practical solutions [01:01:06]. In summary, this Live emphasizes that an integral approach combining supplementation, healthy habits, and effective emotional management is key to maintaining balance and well-being, especially in a modern society prone to overstimulation and chronic stress.
