Avoid typical spouse & family pitfalls officer family’s are forced to deal with.
Burnout
- Overworked, fatigued, resentful
- Undervalued and unappreciated
- Physical, mental, & emotional exhaustion.
Adrenal Fatigue & Hormone Imbalance
Hypervigilance is the foundation of the mindset required for policing but negatively impacts the brain and central nervous system.
This required way of thinking is the opposite of what’s required for a healthy body, mind, a good marriage, and good parenting.
Downward Biological Cycle – Off-Work Attitude
This downward cycle or crash makes it’s hard to make the simplest of decisions, after your shift, and why far too often that means sitting on the sofa, turning on the TV, and doing “nothing.” This can cause vicious cycles leading to physiological harm and endless wasted time and regret.
If unchecked, the downward cycle will immediately cause:
- Weight gain
- Lack of sleep
- Low energy & personality
- Social isolation
- Sarcasm, bitterness, resentment, anger
- Procrastination and difficulty in decision-making not related to work.
- Noninvolvement in children’s needs and activities.
- Not doing the activities you used to love such as hunting, fishing, sports, etc.
Hormone Imbalance & Weight Gain
Elevated adrenaline and insulin resistance cause at least 5 lbs a year of weight gain, and reduced motivation and drive when you need it.
Heart Disease, Diabetes, & Stroke
This is also is a precursor of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke combined with the stress of the job,
Herbs & Supplements to Boost Your Progress
These are used in this program for stress, weight loss, sleep, inflammation, calm & more.
Benefits of Meditation
Focus training improving ALL aspects of the job. Meditation also helps to turn off the fight-or-flight response and to bring the body back to pre-stress levels.
