In this episode, Dr Matt Williams is joined by Oxford medical student Becky and access officer Leah for a discussion on stress – from the neuroscience behind it to modern causes, like exams or even hearing Wham! at Christmas.
We explore:
- What happens in your brain and body during stress
- The role of cortisol, adrenaline, and the autonomic nervous system
- How stress evolved (even bacteria experience it!)
- Coping strategies backed by science
- Oxford student perspectives on managing stress at university
