Our brain, specifically the Limbic system, is constantly surveying for trouble to keep us safe. In this episode, Dr. Skyler outlines three stress responses our limbic system uses -- fight, flight and freeze -- to protect us. However, if we get stuck in a chronic stress response, our immune system can be compromised, leading to inflammation, and fuel the disease process. Unfortunately, in today's world we have a multitude of ever-present external and internal stressors that can cause disease, specifically gastrointestinal and autoimmune conditions. Learn about this mind-body connection and what you can do about it in this episode.
