Science Behind Your Speaking Nerves ...

Free Your Voice from Speaking Anxiety
Reader,
Let's find out what happens inside your body when you stress about something
... whether it's your upcoming presentation, a meeting with an important client, or any other stressful situation.
I'm no medical doctor, but let's try ;)
Your adrenal glands release 2 kinds of hormones, known as stress hormones:
Cortisol
Dehydroepiandrosterone (Don't try to pronounce it, let's call it DHEA 😉)
Adrenal glands sit right on top of each kidney [Source: link]
Both hormones play a crucial role during times of stress:
Cortisol sees stress as a threat and prepares you to deal with it ...
Think of it as your body's defense mechanism.
It helps in converting your body's fat and sugar into energy that your body and brain can use during stressful situations.
It also restricts some other bodily functions that it sees as unimportant during times of crises
... for example, reproduction, growth, and digestion.
Which explains a lot why people with chronic stress suffer from stomach issues, difficulty in making babies, depression, and limited growth, right?
Reader, have you ever noticed you don't feel hungry during stressful times?
Well, I dunno about you, but my stomach shuts its operation down and I forget that I need to eat to survive.
It's because of the cortisol release in our bodies.
In contrast ...
DHEA hormone sees stress as a growth opportunity, and it helps your brain grow from stressful experiences.
It's like testosterone but, instead of the body, it makes your brain stronger.
Also, it counters some of the effects of cortisol.
