Time and time again, Dr Rangan Chatterjee has seen chronic stress wreak havoc on his patients' lives — contributing to autoimmune disorders, gut problems, low libido and more.
But the most devastating blow struck his own family, when his father's punishing work schedule forced him to medically retire in his 50s.
It’s an experience that led Rangan to rethink his own work and approach to medicine.
Today, Dr Chatterjee, a GP and host of a mega popular wellbeing podcast, shares his story, as well as strategies for better managing stress in your own life.
