Stress & Recovery- Course 001
THE FOUNDATION
What happens when the body is repeatedly asked to adapt to stress—and recovery never quite catches up?
A clear, practical look at the physiology of stress, adaptation and recovery—and why understanding these connections can change the way you think about health and disease.

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
