Donna Jackson Nakazawa is an acclaimed science writer who loved to tackle complex problems with big implications for people's everyday life and health. In this interview, she explains one of the biggest and most exciting of these topics: the field of psycho neuroimmunology, of the interplay between our brain, our stress response, and our immune system. Listen to the interview to learn how difficult childhood events shape our stress response for life, why the brain has its own immune system and what this has to do with our body's immune system, why emotional or social threats can have a serious impact on physical health, how early childhood experiences can contribute to autoimmune disease later in life, and much more.
