Ep 134: Brain On Fire: The Link Between Stress, Inflammation, & Mental Health
About this episode
Ever felt like your mind just won’t shut off — like your brain is running hot from stress, exhaustion, or emotional overload?
This week on Journey to Joy Live, I'm diving deep into the science behind that feeling in “Brain on Fire: The Link Between Stress, Inflammation, and Mental Health.”
As a psychiatrist, I’m breaking down how stress doesn’t just affect your mood — it impacts your brain chemistry, your body, and your joy.
We’ll explore:
- What happens in your brain when stress turns chronic
- How inflammation fuels anxiety, depression, and brain fog
- Practical, science-backed ways to cool the fire and reset your peace
Because your brain isn’t broken — it’s overwhelmed. And with the right tools, you can calm your mind, heal your body, and reignite your joy.
