The problem with chronic stress is it kind of changes your brain... It also decreases the overall size of your brain, specifically your prefrontal cortex, which is all about executive functioning, decision-making, having the clarity to almost kind of like, override those stress and emotional responses.
Stress is something we all deal with, but do we really understand what it does to our bodies? In this episode of 'Balance and Moderation', hosts Sheridan Lee and Rob Young get personal and scientific about stress. They talk about their own struggles with stress and dive into some eye-opening research. Chronic stress, they explain, isn't just a mental burden; it can mess with your body in serious ways.
From increased anxiety and depression to higher blood pressure and weakened immune function, the effects are wide-ranging. But it's not all doom and gloom. Sheridan and Rob offer practical tips for managing stress, like incorporating regular exercise and self-soothing techniques into your routine. They also discuss the difference between 'good' stress, which can actually be beneficial in small doses, and the harmful chronic stress that many of us experience daily.
If you're looking for ways to handle stress better and understand its impact on your brain and body, this episode is a must-listen.
