There's one study that I talk about in the book. It's really about it was math problems and public speaking.

So the sort of that stress shame combination that people can have and they measured levels of interleucan six, which is a type of inflammatory protein.

And researchers show that the people that had the highest levels of stress and shame had

higher levels of interleucin six, the people that practice self-compassion had the lowest levels of interlucan six.

When the body is in that stressed state that will shift the body into that

more of that sympathetic state which will impact inflammation levels, which will impact the gut brain axis, the connection between the two,

and will impact the brain hormonal axis.

One in every six people suffer and more than 8 million Americans visit their doctor

for headache-related issues each year, 75% of which are women.

Of course, women go through more hormonal changes each month and their moods fluctuate

which can cause migraines to the point of many

unable to even function, let alone work or be the mother or wife they typically are on a daily basis. We need help but the side effects
