Newswise — We all experience stress, but did you know it could make you look and feel older? Research from Dr. Shevaun Neupert, a distinguished professor of psychology at North Carolina State University, reveals how daily stress impacts aging—and why a sense of control might be the key to reversing its effects.
Dr. Neupert’s study tracked young adults over eight days, showing that those who experienced more stress reported feeling and even looking older. However, those who felt a sense of control over their lives were less affected. This episode dives into the science behind stress and aging, exploring how daily stressors—work, relationships, and even social media—can take a toll on mental and physical well-being.
Are you curious about how to stop stress from accelerating aging? Dr. Neupert shares insights into the power of perception, the role of resilience, and practical strategies to regain control over your stress response. Don’t let stress define how you feel—learn how to manage it before it manages you.
