Amelia Scott Barrett, MD and Dr. Irene Cop discuss the effects of stress on the brain and offers insights into managing it effectively. Dr. Cop, the CEO and founder of the stress-to-success shift institute, emphasizes that stress has various phases and impacts on the brain.
She describes the initial stress response, triggered in milliseconds, where the brain's executive functions like logical thinking and emotional regulation are compromised. Stress also induces hyper-focus and heightened vigilance. Continued stress leads to the marathon phase, where cortisol is released, spiking blood sugar and affecting sleep and metabolism. Long-term stress can result in adrenal exhaustion, causing fatigue and other issues.
