#030 - Why Stress Destroys Us (Prof. Carmine Pariante) - a podcast by Danny Whittaker
from 2017-09-18T20:25:07
In today’s episode Prof. Carmine Pariante joins us to discuss the biology of stress, everything from the anatomy of the brain, to the endocrine system, and how it’s all functions together.
We explore the evolutionary advantages of the stress response, how the pressures of modern life can cause stress to become chronic, and how the physiological damage of long-term stress can lead to conditions such as anxiety and depression.
