STUDY FINDS THAT CHRONIC STRESS CAN SHRINK YOUR BRAIN (BUT HELP IS AVAILABLE)

A large Swedish study, involving more than two thousand people, including both men and women, found a relationship between the high levels of cortisol (stress hormone) in the blood and the thinning of the brain.
The people with a higher level of cortisol also showed symptoms such as bad memory. This is not the only study which found chronic stress having the effect on the size of our brains, another study conducted in 2017 showed a similar effect related to chronic work stress. And they also found that it could be reversed by giving workers respite and with the help of cognitive therapy.
One theory why stress has become so toxic in recent times is lifestyle. In our clinic, Dr Bhatti has been practising Lifestyle Medicine and Gut Health and Microbiome Restoration for more than 25 years to help with emotional stress, physical stress and stress related disorders using a combination of Complementary Therapies with excellent results.
