Stress and Mood Upsets,
or how to build a better boat.
Most of us don’t need reminding that the world can be rough. Some days it’s like a calm sea. Others, it’s a full-force gale. And while we can’t stop the waves from coming, we can do something just as important. We can build a better boat.
Why this matters.
Stress isn’t just something we feel.
It changes how we eat. How we sleep. How we think.
It scrambles our hormones, our metabolism, our moods — like cargo tossed around in a storm.
And often, the help on offer is just a prescription to mute it all.
That might be right for some.
But for others, it leaves a question hanging:
Is there a gentler way?
What’s on offer.
This is the full recording of the original live webinar — captured in real time, questions and all.
Led by medical herbalist Simon Mills, we’ll explore natural ways to support resilience — through herbs, food, and simple home practices.
Not to deny the storm.
But to help you ride it out more steadily.
What you’ll take away.
- Lifetime access to the recording of the full 60-minute session with Simon Mills — so you can rewatch it anytime
- A downloadable PDF of the slides, including key herbs, notes, and practical tips
And during the session, you’ll learn:
- Practical ways to calm your system and support your stress response
- How to steady your metabolism, sleep, digestion, and mood
- Herbal insights to help restore balance across your body’s systems
You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of what’s really going on — and simple, effective tools to help you feel more grounded, more resilient, more like yourself.
What makes it different.
No hype. No silver bullets.
Just grounded, time-tested tools from a herbalist who’s been doing this for decades.
This isn’t about escaping the hard stuff. It’s about equipping yourself to move through it.
Who it’s for.
This session is for you if:
- You’re feeling run down, restless, or emotionally up-and-down
- You want natural ways to support your mood and nervous system
- You’re curious about what plants can do — and how they actually work
- You’d like to be less dependent on pharmaceuticals (or avoid them if you can)
It’s not for you if:
- You’re looking for a quick fix
- You’re not open to learning or experimenting with natural approaches
