00:00 Understanding Stress
Section Overview: In this section, Dr. Nina discusses the different types of stress and how our bodies respond to them.
Types of Stress

00:40 Our bodies don’t differentiate between good and bad stress.
00:59 Chronic stress can lead to burnout.
Dealing with Stress
02:06 Reframe what stress means to you. For example, instead of thinking of traffic as stressful, think of it as learning time.
02:27 Practice deep breathing from your diaphragm to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and promote relaxation.
03:25 The Science Behind Stress
