• 1060-How Stress Alters Hormones, Neurotransmitters & Mental Health

  I. Introduction to Stress and Its Impact Stress affects the body's hormonal and neurotransmitter systems. Chronic stress can lead to significant mental health challenges.​ II. Hormonal Responses to Stress Cortisol: Known as the "stress hormone," it increases in response to stress. Elevated cortisol levels can impair memory and cognitive functions. Adrenaline and Noradrenaline: These hormones prepare the body for "fight or flight" responses. Prolonged elevation can lead to anxiety and sleep disturbances. III. Neurotransmitter Alterations Serotonin: Chronic stress can decrease serotonin levels, contributing to depression. Dopamine: Stress can disrupt dopamine pathways, affecting motivation and pleasure. GABA: Reduced GABA activity under stress can lead to increased anxiety. IV. Mental Health Consequences Persistent stress is linked to disorders such as depression and anxiety. Stress can exacerbate symptoms in individuals with pre-existing mental health conditions. V. Strategies for Mitigating Stress Effects Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Practices like meditation can lower stress hormone levels. Physical Activity: Regular exercise helps regulate neurotransmitter levels. Social Support: Engaging with supportive communities can buffer stress impacts. 00:00:00 Overview of the Autonomic Nervous System and Hormonal Functions 00:10:41 How to Boost Oxytocin for Connection 00:22:25 Understanding Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome 00:32:50 The Impact of Stress on Hormones and Sleep 00:43:35 Hormonal Changes During and After Breastfeeding 00:54:39 Understanding Glutamate and Anxiety 01:05:03 Nutrient Absorption Challenges in Digestive Disorders 01:15:17 Coping with Chronic Pain: Strategies and Emotional Impact 01:30:34 Understanding the Stress Response and Its Biological Mechanisms 01:41:01 Overcoming Arachnophobia with Systematic Desensitization 01:51:19 Chronic Stress and Neurotransmitter Imbalance 02:01:40 Understanding Autoimmune Issues and Inflammation 02:11:43 Understanding Cortisol Sensitivity and PTSD 02:22:34 Understanding PCOS and Stress Connection 02:33:43 Understanding Circadian Rhythms and Sleep 02:43:29 Coping with Stress and Evaluating Threats 02:53:18 Managing Stress Response for Healing Learn more about your ad choices.
