    Glossary Stress

    body's response to demands, triggering hormone release

    Stress is the body's response to any demand or challenge, whether physical, emotional, or psychological. It triggers the release of hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which prepare the body to face the perceived threat. Chronic stress can lead to various health issues, including hair loss conditions like telogen effluvium and alopecia areata, as it disrupts the normal hair growth cycle and immune function.
