The Body’s Reaction to StressCardiovascular System – heart beats faster,
raise blood pressure

Understanding the Emotional & Physical Reaction to Stress
The neo-cortex is the “thinking brain”
The limbic system is the “emotional brain”
![Page 12: Stress Management APEX Eileen Long-Farias, LPC, CTS Pentagon Employee Referral Service DiLorenzo TriCare Health Clinic 703-692-8917.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649e8a5503460f94b906d9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cortisol- The Stress hormone
It helps regulate your body's use of protein, carbohydrates and fat.
It helps maintain blood pressure and cardiovascular function.
It stems inflammation.The body produces more in the am.In the pm, cortisol level should drop by 90%.

Impact of Cortisol on BrainWorking women tend to have elevated
cortisol levels in the pm.Men have largest increase in levels when
harassed; but returned to “normal” more quickly once stress was relieved.
Working women with children have highest stress levels.
In excess doses, it impacts the hippocampus and serotonin levels.
