About this listen

In this episode, Dr Matt Williams is joined by Oxford medical student Becky and access officer Leah for a discussion on stress – from the neuroscience behind it to modern causes, like exams or even hearing Wham! at Christmas.


We explore:

- What happens in your brain and body during stress

- The role of cortisol, adrenaline, and the autonomic nervous system

- How stress evolved (even bacteria experience it!)

- Coping strategies backed by science

- Oxford student perspectives on managing stress at university
