Yeah.
So it essentially changes your biology.
You know, when people are under stress, and I have to say bad stress because there is such a thing as good stress, and we'll talk about that later.
When people are experiencing bad stress, your body starts creating specific neurochemicals and hormones that don't allow information to be stored in your brain.
You basically are kind of closing all the gates for creativity, for memory, for processing information.
And you're in this constant fight or flight situation where your heart rate is up and you're chronically going through biological shifts in your body.
Inflammation goes up.
Oxidative damage goes up.
Even if you're quiet.
Even if it's not really showing on the surface, on the inside, stress literally eats up your brain.
As a matter of fact, there have been some studies that showed that when people are under chronic stress, they actually have smaller brains.
There's a part of the brain called the hippocampus.
And the hippocampus is responsible for many things, but the primary function of hippocampus is encoding memory.
That shrinks when people are under chronic stress.
And cortisol is out.
So it affects your brain.
It affects your heart.
It affects your arteries.
And it's really important for people to kind of take it, take an account of what their bad stressors are and do something about it.
I think it kind of ties back to what I was saying earlier.
