[00:00:00]Here's something your doctor probably isn't telling you about chronic stress.

[00:00:05]It's not just making you tired. It's physically changing your brain. When cortisol stays elevated for weeks and months, which is what happens when you're running on empty, overworked, and chronically overwhelmed, it damages the hippocampus. That is the part of your brain responsible for memory and learning, and it shrinks, literally. It also increases neuroinflammation, it disrupts neurotransmitter balance, and interferes with the glymphatic system, which is how your brain clears out waste while you sleep. So, the brain fog, the memory issues, the inability to focus, these aren't personality flaws. They're not laziness. They're downstream effects of a brain that's under prolonged stress, and just reduce your stress doesn't address what's already happened at the cellular level. That's what my free masterclass covers.
