So today on All In The Mind, we are focusing on chronic stress, what it's doing to our brains and bodies, everything from our decision-making abilities to our libidos.
And we're also finding out the signs and red flags to look out for that tell you your stress levels are unhealthily high.
We'll also find out what you can do about it.
This is All In The Mind.
I'm Sana Khadar.
Just going back to when you were first talking about your dad's story and how he was working for 30 years while you were growing up, I just wondered, like, whether you or your family, did anyone think that his pace of work was nuts?
Or was it kind of just normalized, the fact that he was only sleeping three days a week?
It's such an immigrant thing for, especially that generation, to want to work so hard and send quite a lot back home to help sisters and brothers.
It's a familiar story in a way, not that anyone in my family was only sleeping three nights a week, but the other details of it are similar.
Now, you would think watching his father's punishing schedule, the chronic stress, the lack of sleep would put Rangan off a career in medicine.
But like I said, he followed in his footsteps and also became a doctor.
But early on in his medical training, Rangan started to feel like something pretty important was missing from the medical system.
Lifestyle medicine is a relatively new field.
It's a branch of evidence-based healthcare that focuses on trying to prevent diseases before they start, rather than just treating them once they set in.
Chronic diseases like Alzheimer's, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and stroke.
It's a response to the fact that in the modern post-industrial era, there's been a shift in the kinds of diseases that most affect people in high-income countries.
That's a shift from mostly infectious diseases to mostly chronic diseases, which often have lifestyle or environmental drivers.
And so that brings us back to chronic stress, one of the main lifestyle factors wrecking havoc on people's health.
Because stress sets off a whole bunch of responses in the body.
It makes your blood pressure rise.
