Today we have a very special guest joining us. Emily Harris, a biology enthusiast and member of the Connect My Brain team, will be sharing her personal journey of dealing with stress and the surprising ways it impacted her physical health.

Emily's story is one that many of us can relate to, as she found herself experiencing a range of symptoms – from rashes and headaches to dizziness and ringing in the ears – all due to stress. Seeking solutions, she made significant changes to her environment and sought therapy, but it was the discovery of seemingly random things that helped her manage her stress that truly made a difference.

During our conversation, Emily highlights the fact that so many people, especially students, struggle to understand and regulate their bodies during times of stress. We delve into the impact of chronic stress on the body's physiological functions, such as the gut-brain axis and blood flow. It's fascinating to learn how chronic stress can even lead to autoimmune diseases and improper immune responses. 

Join us as we dive deep into the profound impact of stress and trauma on our minds, bodies, and overall well-being. Emily's story, combined with valuable insights and research findings, serves as a reminder of the importance of taking care of ourselves and each other.
