How Trauma and stress impact our immune system and mental health
“We’re the general contractors of our health, and there’s so many micro-changes we can make towards flourishing.”
Donna Jackson Nakazawa in her video Can we teach our brain to behave differently in moments of high stress? – see below.
Her interview at the Reset Super Conference is titled Trauma and immune responses in the brain.
The Conference site summarizes some main points, and gives a profile:
How chronic stress impacts our immune system
The tie between the brain’s immune system responses and mental health
Science-based practices to reprogram the brain
Here is a brief audio excerpt of the much longer video interview at the Conference.
The Conference site notes “Journalist and author Donna Jackson Nakazawa describes how chronic stressors can activate immune responses in the brain and cause anxiety, depression and even Alzheimer’s.
“Nakazawa is an award-winning science journalist, author of six books, and an internationally-recognized speaker whose work explores the intersection of neuroscience, immunology, and human emotion.
“Her book, The Angel and the Assassin: The Tiny Brain Cell That Changed the Course of Medicine was named one of the best books of 2020 by Wired magazine. Donna’s other books include Childhood Disrupted and The Last Best Cure.”
