Defining Resilience
- Resilience is the ability to return to homeostasis after stress, and the speed of that return.
- Yoga pants exemplify resilience due to their ability to stretch and quickly regain their original shape.
Psychological vs. Physiological Resilience
- Psychological resilience involves maintaining composure and problem-solving during difficult situations, like job loss, without succumbing to negative emotions.
- Physiological resilience, the focus of this podcast, pertains to the body's ability to withstand and recover from physical stressors.
Biomarkers of Resilience
- Physiological resilience is a complex interplay of various biological markers, including hormones, immune system, and inflammatory markers.
- Recovery capacity is directly proportional to resilience, as both involve returning to homeostasis quickly after stress.
