I really loved this! As a nurse and an educator, I find this information extremely beneficial. It is things that we, as nurses, may already know, but to hear it compiled in this manner makes it more relevant and profound! I am also a diabetic that has hypothyroidism which both are impacted through autoimmune responses that are actually impacted by stress. This has been a big issue that I am now discussing in my work towards my PhD. Thank you for confirming its importance.
