Luma x VPCC - The Stress Cascade - Lunch n Learn Workshop Event@VPCC

The Stress Cascade: Hormones, Stress & Heart Health Wednesday 2 December | 12.15pm–1.45pm Victoria Park Community Centre What actually happens inside our bodies when stress becomes chronic? Join Luma for Her Health and Wellbeing for an engaging 90-minute workshop exploring the connection between stress, hormones, sleep and cardiovascular health. One of Luma’s most requested sessions, The Stress Cascade looks at how chronic stress can affect hormonal balance — particularly cortisol — and the flow-on effects this can have on sleep and heart health. Rather than simply being told to “stress less”, you’ll gain a better understanding of what’s happening in your body and learn practical strategies you can use to reduce the impact of stress and support your long-term wellbeing. What we’ll explore • How the body responds to ongoing stress • Cortisol and hormonal balance • The relationship between stress and sleep • How chronic stress can affect cardiovascular health • Recognising the impact stress may be having on your body • Practical strategies to reduce its effects • Supporting better rest and long-term wellbeing Come along, learn more about your body and leave with practical strategies you can take into everyday life.
