Is Stress Secretly Wrecking Your Health?

Stress isnโ€™t just โ€œin your headโ€ โ€” it can weaken your immune system, disrupt hormones, damage your heart, and raise your risk of long-term illness. Even if you think you're coping, your body might be telling a different story.

In this episode, doctors break down what chronic stress really does to your body โ€” and how to take back control.

Youโ€™ll learn:

  • What stress hormones like cortisol do to your system
  • How stress impacts your heart, brain, gut, and immunity
  • The difference between good stress and harmful stress
  • Science-backed ways to manage stress
  • When to seek help โ€” and what kind of support actually works

If you're juggling work, family, or life in general, this episode will help you understand the real risks of ignoring stress โ€” and how to protect your health.
