Stress Tested

"Stress: Tested" explores the complex effects of long-term stress hormones on the body, including their role in processes like blood sugar regulation and fertility. Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-life stories, the book delves into how stress impacts health in unexpected ways, from diet and exercise to childhood experiences and socioeconomic factors. While much of stress stems from external factors beyond individual control, the authors emphasize that understanding how stress works can empower us to reduce its long-term health effects.
