Deep dives

Impact of Stress on Immune System

Stress significantly affects the immune system, with increased levels of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline leading to decreased immunity. The discussion highlights the importance of emotional well-being in maintaining health, as those who engage consistently in practices like 'journal speak' often find themselves less susceptible to illness. For example, despite exposure to colds from family members, the speaker notes a lower likelihood of getting sick after implementing these stress management techniques. Though a sudden illness may still occur, regular emotional expression is emphasized as a way to build a more resilient immune response.
