Stress doesn't kill, unfinished stress cycles do: Sahar Yousef

Cognitive neuroscientist Sahar Yousef said stress and burnout are not the same. Speaking on the podcast, she explained that humans are designed to experience natural stress cycles, with cortisol levels rising and falling throughout the day. However, modern life can keep those cycles from properly ending. “Stress doesn't kill. Never completing the stress cycle kills,” she said.
