Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee · BITESIZE | The Truth About Stress: How to Reduce Overwhelm & Feel Calmer Every Day | Dr Rangan Chatterjee #682 · 24 Sep 2026 podcast

Whereas today, that's pretty much gone. matched

There are activities seven days a week, the shops are open. matched

Again, there may be benefits off that, but we have to understand that that has come at a cost. matched

For many of us, we no longer switch off so that stress response is chronically being activated. matched

Now, before I outline relatively simple ways that you can start to reduce the impact that stress has in your life, I want to share with you another concept that matched

I've been talking to my patients about for years and first wrote about in my 2018 book, The Stress Solution, and that's the concept of microstress doses. matched

My patients over the years have loved this because it really helps them understand how quickly stress can add up and have a negative consequence in their lives. matched

Okay, so what is a microstress dose? matched

Well, a microstress dose matched

is a little dose of stress that in isolation you can handle just fine. matched

The problem comes when those micro stress doses accumulate one on top of the other. matched

Now, the reason they become a problem is because all of us have our own unique personal stress threshold. matched

Now, your threshold may be different from my threshold, and our own thresholds might be different on different days. matched

But the concept I want you to really understand is that when you hit your own personal stress threshold, that's when things go wrong. matched

That's when your back goes, or your neck goes into spasm, or you send back a really reactive email to one of your colleagues, or you shout at your kids. matched

It tends to happen when you have reached your personal stress threshold. matched

And here's the thing, if you weren't at your stress threshold, that same event from the outside world, matched

that email from your colleague, it wouldn't have the same impact, you wouldn't react. matched

And that's why sometimes we can receive an email, let's say on a Monday morning when we're really well rested, and deal with it absolutely fine and totally calmly. matched

You receive that same email on a Friday afternoon at 4.45 p.m. matched
