William R. Lovallo

Short summary

Early life experiences alter stress responsive systems at the gene expression level, and varying stress response magnitudes impact overall health and well-being.

AI-generated from the title and abstract; the full text is not read.

Key points

  • Psychological stress interacts with biological systems affecting cognition, emotions, and bodily regulation.
  • Early life experiences can epigenetically alter key stress responsive systems.
  • The magnitude of stress responses (large, normal, small) is linked to overall health and well-being.

Abstract

Stress and Health: Biological and Psychological Interactions is a brief and accessible examination of psychological stress and its psychophysiological relationships with cognition, emotions, brain functions, and the peripheral mechanisms by which the body is regulated. Updated throughout, the Third Edition covers two new and significant areas of emerging research: how our early life experiences alter key stress responsive systems at the level of gene expression; and what large, normal, and small stress responses may mean for our overall health and well-being
