Chronic stress has been found to harm brain cells and shrink the prefrontal cortex, our critical region responsible for various functions like healing, movement, behavior, task management, and personality. Interestingly, the part of the brain governing fear and survival instincts actually expands under chronic stress. This increased fear and survival response can lead to conditions such as anxiety, depression, anger, and mood disorders. Stress comes from various sources like work, family, trauma, toxins, foods, thoughts and environment.  In the world today, it's hard to avoid stress. It's vital for the brain to recover from stress responses adequately.

Visualize a scenario where an unexpected intruder enters your home just as you're about to drift off to sleep. Your body immediately goes into high alert - your heart races and blood pressure rises, your breathing quickens, and your muscles tense up. This is your body's natural response to a perceived threat, preparing you to fight or flee. But what if, instead of a threat, it's just a family member who forgot their key? In a healthy, balanced state, your nervous system would quickly regulate itself back to a state of calm. However, chronic stress can keep your body stuck in survival mode, often without you even realizing it.
