How Stress Impacts the Brain and What You Can Do About It
Stress isn’t just an emotional issue—it physically changes your brain. Over time, chronic stress impairs memory, decision-making, and emotional regulation. At NeuroShift Wellness, we take a neuroscience-based approach to help you reset your brain and reclaim your calm.
The Science of Stress on the Brain
Chronic stress floods your body with cortisol, a hormone that, in excess, shrinks the prefrontal cortex (responsible for logic) and enlarges the amygdala (responsible for fear). This leads to:
- Brain fog
- Mood swings
- Sleep disruption
- Anxiety & depression
- Memory problems
