The Science of Stress: Cortisol, Hormones and Vitamin D with Dr Bronwyn Holmes.
Dr Bronwyn Holmes explains the science of stress, cortisol, hormones, visceral fat and vitamin D, and how chronic stress affects health, ageing and performance.
In this episode of Podcast Portugal, Justin is joined by Dr Bronwyn Holmes for an in-depth conversation on the molecular biology of stress.

The hormone is still present, but the message is no longer being received.
