Why does stress matter for our health? In this episode of Core Concepts, postdoctoral researcher Susanne Kuckuck (Erasmus MC) unpacks the relationship between stress and cardiometabolic health: how our hearts, our weight, and our metabolism respond to stress over time.
Susanne says: ”Diamonds are made under pressure, but so are obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease”. In this conversation, we cover the role cortisol has in appetite regulation, differences between short-term and long-term stress, and how the latter raises the risk for cardiometabolic disease. This is a quick dive into what you need to know about how stress shapes long-term health.
