In this video, Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses the effects of alcohol on our stress level, particularly focusing on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary gland, which then releases hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones stimulate the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, to release adrenaline (epinephrine) and cortisol. Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, plays a crucial role in the body's long-term stress response and has effects on the immune system. The HPA axis is responsible for maintaining the balance of physiological responses to stress. • Dr. Huberman explains that regular alcohol consumption, even as little as one or two drinks per night or binge drinking on weekends, can disrupt the HPA axis. This disruption leads to increased cortisol release from the adrenal glands, even when the person is not drinking. As a result, individuals who drink regularly may experience heightened stress and anxiety levels when they are not consuming alcohol. This underscores the significant impact of alcohol addiction on the body's stress response and overall mental health. • Speaker: Andrew Huberman • Source: • What Alcohol Does to Your Body, Brain... • Andrew Huberman is an American neuroscientist and associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine who has made many contributions to the brain development, brain plasticity, and neural regeneration and repair fields. • • FAIR-USE COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER • Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for fair use for purposes such as criticism, commenting, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
