What happens when prolonged stress begins affecting the body as a whole. In this video, we move from the cellular effects of overwhelm to the nervous system, focusing on the vagus nerve and its dorsal branch. We explore how prolonged stress can be accompanied by physical changes—from digestion and breathing to brain fog, low energy, and systemic pain.
This series on stress is inspired by Dr. Aimie Apigian’s book The Biology of Trauma.
