Feel that heartbeat rush, that quickened breath? That's stress, a staple of modern life. Our bodies react to today's pressures as though facing ancient threats. Stress, often mentioned casually, shows up in many forms: relationship tensions, financial worries, or deadline panics. Once key for survival, this response now springs from our thoughts and lifestyle, linking our physical and mental experiences. How does it impact our health and well-being? In this episode, we dive into stress's science and mystery. We'll examine how this primal response adapts to modern life and how to manage its effects. It's about harnessing our minds for health and well-being in a stress-filled world.
