Are y'all done feeling stressed yet? No? Well neither are we! We continue our discussion from last episode, moving on to the stuff that actually makes the stress hormone, the HPA axis! What does the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis do and how does it work? Also, we discuss what the science is behind stress vis-a-vis hair loss and hair greying!
