What is Stress Costing You?
Stress may be making you sick! Stress is a modern plague that robs us of our health, our happiness, and our productivity.
According to The American Institute of Stress, “Stress is America’s #1 health problem. There is more of it today and it is more dangerous!”
The American Psychological Association estimates that “75-90% of all visits to the doctor are stress-related and $300 billion dollars is lost each year by American businesses due to stress.”
How many of your low productivity and sick days in the last year were stress related? How much did that cost you? How much did you and your family spend on health care costs last year?
Out-of-pocket costs relating to stress are dramatically high. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that “80% of U.S. health care expenditures are stress related.”
And experts believe that as much as “50% of corporate profits now go to health care costs” (CMA Management Magazine).
And it’s not just the out-of-pocket costs. It’s the lower energy, lower enthusiasm, lower expectations, lower productivity, lower quality of life that’s the real cost of stress.
Stress has been linked to:
- Obesity - the CDC estimates that 65% of Americans are currently overweight or obese.
- Heart disease, stroke and cancer - the three leading causes of death in the U.S.
- Depression and anxiety – the National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 17 million Americans suffer from depression and approximately 19 million suffer from anxiety disorders.
- Diabetes – with 17 million diabetics in the U.S. it is today’s 5th deadliest disease.
- Stomach and mental disorders, along with the more common headaches,backaches, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.

You are offering to sell your services to reduce stress right after you tell us that it is so very expensive…? Can’t I reduce the money I spend on stress-related health issues if I simply reduce stress on my own? Look at the test. I can improve the parts that are the lowest. Why should I have to pay even more $$$?
Yes, you make a good point. You can simply look at the results of your Stress Quiz and use that as a guide for reducing your stress. In fact, that’s what we designed it to do.
