Stress isn’t just something you feel—it’s a biological process with a clear beginning, middle, and end. But what happens when that cycle gets stuck?

In Episode 3 of Master Stress with Dr. S, I break down The Story of the Stress Cycle using a simple but powerful analogy: a home fire alarm and a fire station. Understanding this can help you respond to stress in a way that supports your health, performance, and long-term resilience.

🎧 Listen to Episode 3: 

In this episode, we explore:

✔️ The key players in your brain’s stress response—amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex.

✔️ The roles of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol in fueling and sustaining stress.

✔️ Why completing the stress cycle is critical for avoiding burnout and maintaining health.

✔️ The hidden dangers of chronic stress—and how to break free.

Most of us experience stress daily, but few of us are taught how to complete the cycle—the missing piece in stress mastery.

I also share a sneak peek into the next episode, where we’ll dive into activating your body’s relaxation response—a crucial skill for regaining balance.
