Following the last episode with Jeff Krasno on Good Stress, in this solo episode Dr. Sara unpacks the science behind toxic stress. She dives into how it embeds in the body, disrupts metabolism, accelerates aging, brain shrinkage, and chronic disease.
Dr. Sara shares compelling research on the connection between stress, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, autoimmunity, gut health, and perimenopause. She also explains why women are especially vulnerable and offers practical, evidence-based tools to help you measure, manage, and heal from toxic stress.
Whether you struggle with brain fog, anxiety, inflammation, autoimmunity, or hormone issues, this episode will help you understand the hidden role of stress—and what you can do to heal.
