Do you feel stressed right now? Have you ever had a panic attack upon remembering a deadline at the last minute? Why DO we experience stress and anxiety? In this episode, Dr. Tina Lasisi walks us through the evolutionary function of stress, how different stress hormones affect our bodies, and why some people have completely different responses to the same stressors.
