Stress & Recovery- Course 001
THE FOUNDATION
Stress affects far more than how we feel. It influences our hormones, immune system, digestion, energy, and ability to recover.
In this free 37-minute course, we'll explore how the body's stress-response systems work together, why prolonged stress can disrupt normal physiology, and how understanding these connections can help us make more informed decisions about our health.
No medical background required. Just curiosity about how your body works.
37 minutes • Free • No credit card required
Physiology was never meant to be a collection of disconnected chapters.
We learn the nervous system in one chapter, the endocrine system in another, the immune system somewhere else, and metabolism somewhere else again.
But the body doesn't work that way.
Your physiology textbook needed chapters. Your body doesn't have chapters.
In 37 Minutes, We'll Break It Down
In Course 001, you'll discover:
-
Why the stress response is designed to protect us.
-
How the nervous system and hormones coordinate our response to stress.
-
Why cortisol, glucose, insulin, and immune activity are connected.
-
What happens when repeated adaptation outpaces recovery.
-
Why symptoms are clues, not conclusions.
-
How understanding physiology helps us recognize patterns and ask better questions.
