Description

Turn stress science into everyday calm. The Science of Stress Relief is a practical field guide that demystifies your body’s alarm systems—HPA axis, cortisol, and the “amygdala hijack”—and shows you how to switch from fight-or-flight to steady focus using clear, research-grounded explanations you can actually use. You’ll learn what’s happening in your body and brain (from “Body on Red Alert” to “Brain Under Pressure”) and why understanding these mechanics makes simple techniques stick for the long term.
Then it gets hands-on: breathe to change your state (vagus nerve, HRV, CO₂ awareness, plus Box Breathing, 4-7-8, and Coherent Breathing), move to reset your chemistry (endorphins, BDNF, myokines, and the “minimum effective dose”), and reframe to recover (mindset shifts, sleep that truly resets stress, and nutrition that stabilizes energy).

Wrap it up with a 30-day “calm experiment,” design your personal plan, and know when to bring in professional support—everything organized so you can start today and build resilience that lasts.
