Overview

The Biology of Stress How the Body and Brain Respond to Pressure Stress is not just a feeling; it is a biological process that shapes how your brain, body, and behavior respond to the world. In The Biology of Stress, Brendon Goh, PhD, offers a clear, science-driven exploration of how stress operates beneath the surface. Moving beyond surface-level advice, this book explains what is actually happening inside your body when you feel overwhelmed, pressured, or anxious. Drawing from neuroscience, physiology, and systems biology, this book reveals how stress affects key systems in the body; from brain circuits and hormone regulation to immune function, metabolism, and long-term health. It shows how short-term stress can be adaptive, but how chronic activation can gradually disrupt balance and lead to physical and mental strain. Inside, you will discover: How the brain detects and processes stress The role of cortisol, adrenaline, and other stress hormones Why chronic stress affects memory, focus, and emotional regulation How stress reshapes the body over time The connection between stress, disease, and long-term health How resilience and recovery are built at a biological level Rather than treating stress as something to eliminate, this book provides a deeper understanding of how it works and why regulation, not avoidance, is the key to long-term well-being. Clear, structured, and grounded in scientific evidence, The Biology of Stress offers a new perspective: one that replaces confusion with understanding and empowers you to work with your biology, not against it.
