How Stress Impacts Your Cells and Weakens Immunity
Did you know that stress can alter your cells and weaken your immune system? Many assume that depression stems purely from genetics or a chemical imbalance in the brain. While we may have a genetic predisposition, it’s our environment that first triggers these genes. In fact, our surroundings and experiences play a leading role in mental and physical health—often more so than genetics.
Our mental environment is shaped by deep-rooted beliefs and perceptions, many of which trace back to unmet needs or emotional wounds from childhood. These early imprints become part of our subconscious mind, holding onto limiting beliefs that resurface during stressful situations. When we’re triggered, we unknowingly fall back on these outdated mental scripts, leading to thoughts and responses that no longer serve us.
