28. Stress: Feeling "Stuck" Feeds Cancer and Damages Your Brain. Especially if You're Female.


Listen Later

What doesn't kill me makes me...weaker?

Learn why short bursts of stress are a tonic, while chronic stress damages your brain and accelerates tumor growth. Especially if you're female.  

Find out why you're wrong about your own stress levels, and what you must do to find the hidden stress before you can fix it.

Discover which meditation practices actually calm your nervous system. Many of the most popular simply won't work for you. The doctors themselves get completely opposite results from the same techniques. 

Dump the widespread belief that any exercise is fights cancer. For example, the walking routines doctors recommend do almost nothing. Find out what the data show actually works to stunt cancer growth.

Plus, learn about the overlooked hormone (most PCPs never think about this) your stressed body steals from your brain, how this theft leaves your brain vulnerable to stress-induced damage, and how Dr Gordon fixes this in her patients with an over-the-counter supplement.
